The two companies will demo this solution at FOSE in Washington, D.C., March 23-25. </p><p>Tyco Electronics will offer NIS’s Interceptor™ alarmed carrier protected distribution system (PDS) to complement its’ AMPTRAC intelligent infrastructure management system (IIMS) to secure classified networks from end to end. </p><p>AMPTRAC IIMS bridges the gap between network management software and physical layer management – enabling the management and troubleshooting of network connectivity with real- time monitoring and documentation. Already highly successful in the telecom industry, AMPTRAC IIMS offers many benefits for government and military environments, where security is a top priority item.</p><p>Interceptor is a powerful, affordable PDS solution used to monitor cables carrying classified transmissions for attempted attacks. Interceptor is the only commercially available alarmed carrier PDS developed with Department of Defense guidance and financing – specifically for information assurance and IT security applications.</p><p>Working together, AMPTRAC IIMS and Interceptor PDS result in a giant step forward for network managers seeking maximum control and security of their IT infrastructures. AMPTRAC IIMS provide real-time network control, while Interceptor provides confidence that the network is protected from connector tip to connector tip. </p><p>To see a demo of this combined solution, visit Tyco Electronics at FOSE booth #2531.
