Rolling Meadows, IL (Dec 8, 2005)  — Charles Industries, Ltd., a diversified manufacturer and high-technology company, and Interlink, a  Clearwater-based distribution company that represents manufacturers of data communications and internetworking products to a nationwide network of value-added resellers and service providers, today announced a strategic alliance designed to equip Interlink VARs to deliver Charles Industries' solutions to their Enterprise customer base.

With Charles Industries' acquisition of Oasys Telecom, electrical and optical multiplexers that boast smallest footprint/highest density, lowest power consumption and integrated T1/E1 test capability, Interlink will immediately begin to offer the Charles Industries multiplexers and intelligent channel banks on the Interlink Line Card.

Under the terms of the new agreement, Interlink VARs can begin to source the Charles Industries'  Mini-Mux 840, Mini-Mux 280, Mini-Mux 210, Mini-Mux 155, EXchange Mux I, EXchange Mux II, and Intelligent Channel Banks (ICB) directly from Interlink in support of application requirements within Enterprise environments such as Remote Branch Office and Campus. 

"Interlink sales and system engineers are already helping our VARs solve customer requirements for T1 drop-off from T3 and OC-3 circuits with the Mini-Mux lines, as well as for high density multiplexing support with the fully configurable, nested EXchange Mux II", said Al Higgins, President of Interlink. 

"Charles Industries is pleased that Interlink has an established and respected presence with VARs who focus on Commercial End Users; we expect our Broadband Multiplexers and Channel Banks to bring added value and opportunity to Interlink VARs and their customers", said Mark Rahmel, Director, Distributor/Special Market Sales of Charles Industries.
