Fibrenetix has stepped up to the plate with an impressive ten-year spare part programme, something that is of high importance to our resellers selling into aviation and homeland security.” “We are proud to associate ourselves with Fibrenetix and are keen to introduce Fibrenetix products - that offer outstanding performance, reliability and ROI - to our partners in the region. Their innovative design enables field upgrades and convenient JBOD expandability, making them a long-term investment for surveillance customers in the Middle East,” added Mario.
