In use throughout Europe: telecommunications measurement technology from intec
intec Gesellschaft für Informationstechnik mbH is developing high-quality products for the international telecommunications market for more than 20 years and is one of the leading suppliers of xDSL, ISDN and IP measurement technology in Europe today. The successful ARGUS measurement equipment enables its users to conveniently and safely commission and troubleshoot xDSL and ISDN accesses as well as those services that are based on these interfaces such as VoIP and IPTV. ARGUS testers are designed to meet the day-to-day needs of staff in the field; consequently intec engineers focus on ensuring high-quality measurement in a compact device that is exceptionally uncomplicated to use.
The portfolio of ARGUS testers, software and analysers benefits from continual further development and is kept up-to-date with support for the latest standards for all the common access types and protocols as well as for the newest features of the Next Generation Networks (NGN) and Triple Play. Throughout the world, numerous telecommunication companies have come to appreciate and rely on the advantages offered by intec equipment; to name just a few Deutsche Telekom, Saudi Telecom, Telefonica, KPN, British Telecom and Telekom Austria.
In the past years, more than 50,000 test devices have been delivered throughout Europe and the rest of the world. Consequently, intec GmbH has continued to grow even at times when the rest of the branch was stagnating or in decline. We see this growth as an indication that we have followed the right strategy from the very beginning – in producing measurement equipment that is precisely tailored to suit the needs of the user. Following this strategy, our ARGUS testers are easy to operate and combine in a single device all of the functions required for onsite measurements. A concept that has been well appreciated by our customers for many years!
At intec, the entire core know-how is concentrated at one location – from software and hardware development to marketing, sales and service. As a result, we can react to our customers’ wishes and suggestions in the shortest possible time and thus offer products that are exactly tailored to suit user requirements.
The equipment is also manufactured (under our control) in Germany. To maintain the high quality of all our ARGUS testers, we use the most modern processes and have implemented a DIN EN ISO 9001 certified quality management system. Furthermore, we test all of our equipment in our own in-house calibration laboratory. Moreover, each individual tester must pass an automatic optical inspection (AOI) as part of the production process. The result: first-class products “Made in Germany”.
The European RoHS (EU Directive on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. It applies in eight of ten categories (categories 1 to 7 and 10) of the WEEE (EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directive.
All ARGUS products fall into category 9 and are thus not subject to the RoHS directive. Nonetheless, we have decided to satisfy all of the directive’s requirements voluntarily. We are happy to announce that all ARGUS products available since 1 January 2007 have been built in compliance with this directive.
The intec team places a great deal of emphasis on comprehensive professional consulting. This is true, not only in Germany, but also abroad where the customer is supported by intec’s competent international distributors. Even if the product is already in use, intec support is always ready to answer questions and take suggestions either by phone on the support number +49 (2351) 9070-90 or by e-mail at support@argus.info. From the very beginning, intec has offered an Update Service free-of-charge for all of its products and was the first maker of telecommunication testers to do so.
The excellent development of the company proves that the intec team is precisely on course with its user-oriented strategy.
