TRANSITION NETWORKS BRAND NAME SOURCE STATEMENT
The Nuclear Reactor Supply Chain Management Directorate (NRSCMD), Code 87 of the Navy Inventory Control Point (NAVICP) maintains a Secure Network which currently consists of various components, including Transition Networks Network Interface Cards (NIC) and Fiber Optic Converters. This purchase embraces Navy Standardization, which means that we will maintain consistency in the use of fiber optic equipment. This purchase minimizes, if not virtually eliminating the learning curve associated with any new equipment. A warranty provider for a single line ensures better service and lower costs. From our experience, the reliability of Transition Networks Fiber NIC Cards and other fiber products exceeds that of other brands.
Ease of administration: Our technical personnel are very familiar with Transition Networks products. This knowledge cuts down administration time, problem resolution, setup time, and also eliminates the need for various configurations. Changing to another manufacturer would create an unnecessary increase in administration and support time.
