SALT LAKE CITY -- April 4, 2011 -- Utah Scientific today announced a partnership with Norwia AS to develop new products and systems for efficient, reliable, and cost-effective digital signal transport based on the latest advances in component technology. Headquartered in Norway, Norwia is a new company that provides products for fiber transport and distribution of digital media signals.
Under this agreement, Utah Scientific can incorporate Norwia's products into its own systems. In addition, Utah Scientific becomes the exclusive representative for Norwia's products in North America. Likewise, Norwia will be able to incorporate Utah Scientific products into systems offered to its own customers.
"With its extensive experience in fiber transport of digital media signals, the Norwia team's skill set perfectly matches that of our own development engineers," said Scott Bosen, director of marketing for Utah Scientific. "We expect this partnership to open up a host of exciting possibilities for the two companies and our customers."
"We are very happy to be working with Utah Scientific," said Tracey Ford, director of sales and marketing for Norwia.
