APC becomes Oregano Systems' UK and Ireland partner

Design, specification and distributor of specialist technologies and electronic components, APC Technology Group, has signed an agreement to become the exclusive UK and Ireland distribution partner for the Austrian manufacturer of PTP switches and network interface cards, Oregano Systems.

The AIM-traded firm said the Oregano Systems products would complement APC's existing time and frequency synchronisation technologies, enabling their specialist technical team APC Time to provide a “more complete” time stamping solution for customers within high frequency trading, broadcast, telecoms, IT and power sectors.

Established in 2001, Oregano Systems is a provider of proven, ready-to-use network devices to efficiently build an IEEE1588-2008 system.

Their range includes network interface cards, single chip nodes, the PTP stack and transparent clocks.

APC said all of its products were compatible with its existing Meinberg range of grandmaster clocks and time servers.

“I am excited to be partnering with APC,” said Oregano Systems general manager Nikolaus Keroe.

“Through their existing customer base and proactive approach to promoting our products I am confident they can boost our market share in the UK, in line with Oregano's successes in other countries such as [the] US and Germany.”

Keroe said APC's penetration in other vertical markets such as defence, healthcare and rail transport was also attractive to Oregano.

“By leveraging APC's relationships in these markets Oregano's products can be promoted into the myriad of applications that we service.”
