Reaching the Pinnacle
Tecnous, a Velocity Elite Solution Partner, is a leading provider of solutions to telecommunications service providers,
cable MSOs and manufacturers in Argentina. The company's history with VIAVI began in 1983. While
Tecnous is mainly focused on service providers, cable operators and manufacturers, they are experiencing growth in new markets
including government, contractors and enterprise. Working together, Tecnous and VIAVI have expanded opportunity in Argentina through multiple initiatives, such as securing multiple large contracts for 100G and 10G test
equipment and OTDRs, and implementing the sixth-largest installation in the world of the OneExpert CATV platform with StrataSync.
"Tecnous is honored to receive the VIAVI Pinnacle Award, validating our success in building win-win relationships with most
of the leading network operators and contractors in Argentina," said Marcelo Ruggiero, Vice President, Tecnous. "After many years working together, I believe that Tecnous
and VIAVI have a strong reputation for delivering exceptional products with superior customer on-site support throughout
Argentina."
TMG, a Velocity Elite Solution Partner, services every state across Australia with a
focus on the major telco contractor market. TMG specializes in VIAVI copper, HFC, fiber-optic and transmission testing
technologies. TMG has worked with VIAVI (and previously JDSU) for six years, and together they have conducted many training
workshops and participated in industry events which resulted in leads creation, sales opportunities and sales wins. In 2017, TMG
participated in the BICSI South Pacific Conference to raise the profile of VIAVI in the Enterprise and Data Center markets. Most
recently, TMG brought VIAVI product demonstrations to the Tool Box Day of a partner responsible for the rollout of the HFC
network in Australia.
"We are pleased to receive the Pinnacle Award in recognition of our work together that has built strong client relationships
and won new business. The support from the VIAVI team, as well as marketing development funds, has enabled us to obtain new leads
by participating in trade shows and to reach out to contractors through training roadshows," said Paul
Taylor, National Business Development Manager, TMG. "We share a common goal with VIAVI and are committed to delivering
outstanding products backed up with excellent customer service."
