Kingston Moves Into Convergence Space

Kingston Communications announced today that it has created Affiniti, a communications integration business, forged out of its own Business Services division and two companies it recently acquired, Omnetica and Technica. Kingston describes the new entity as "a powerful force of network and storage expertise, telecoms knowledge and business experience."

Affiniti will provide secure voice, data, video, wireless and storage solutions directed toward helping companies implement converged communications. Kingston says that the new business unit has partnerships with Cisco, Nortel, Siemens, Nokia and Check Point to help it deliver its services and that it owns a 2,200 km national broadband network for delivery of Wide Area services.

Peter Halls, director of Affiniti, says that Affiniti's goal is to help companies develop "truly connected enterprises" for greater workforce effectiveness and customer service.
