Patton presses the flesh

US-based Patton Electronics has been manufacturing telecom and network equipment for 25-years, and it is exhibiting at GITEX to meet with partners that use the firm's voice over internet protocol (VoIP) routers.

Burton Patton, Executive Vice President and company co-founder of Patton Electronics, says the firm is at the show to "press the flesh with partners, and reinforce relationships".

"We've been in the VoIP business for ten years so we were one of the early pioneers, and it's incredibly valuable to get feedback from people using our products in the region," he adds.

Patton says the company's best-selling product line from its portfolio of network access and connectivity products is the SmartNode series of routers, which he describes as "a very configurable set of products".

"They are homegrown and very adaptable," Patton adds.
