PR Newswire (US)
GLENVIEW, Ill., March 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Anixter Inc.,
the world's leading distributor of communication products,
electrical and electronic wire & cable and a leading
distributor of fasteners and other small parts ("C" Class inventory
components) to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), will host a
series of Security IP Convergence Seminars kicking off during the
month of April. Anixter will deliver presentations at the seminar
covering IP convergence in the security market and how convergence
is affecting the cabling infrastructure that supports security
systems. Participants will have the opportunity to enhance their
knowledge of networking concepts, standards, cable management and
testing. The seminar will hit more than 60 cities across North
America. Security integrators, security directors, consultants and
contractors are invited to the seminars, which will include two,
45-minute educational sessions. The first session will review the
infrastructure required to support video surveillance over IP
networks, standards affecting networking infrastructure and best
practices for analog, hybrid and digital video surveillance
systems. The second presentation explores a "real world" security
design and build scenario and the complex issues companies face as
they build or upgrade security systems, particularly IP-ready
systems. Participants will have a chance to ask questions during
the Q&A session after each seminar, and have an opportunity to
sign-up for additional hands-on workshops. The purpose of these
workshops is to offer the security integrator an opportunity to get
more detailed, hands-on training on specific topics and products
covered in the seminar. "There are currently no written standards
in today's security cabling infrastructure market, and that is why
Anixter is moving forward to provide a more structured and
standardized approach and suggested best practices through our
upcoming Security IP Convergence Seminars," says Director of
Product Testing, Andy Jimenez. Anixter has also announced a
follow-up to the IP Surveillance Guide, the Anixter IP Security
Infrastructure Resource Guide, which will be available to
participants. The security guide will educate customers on the
importance of installing high grade cabling infrastructure to
support the requirements of security migration from analog to IP.
The security guide will also introduce new concepts and best
practices discussed in the Security IP Convergence Seminars. For
