July 6, 2006,
San Jose California:
TesCom of
Austin, Texas, a leading US telecom test
equipment service company and CXR Larus
Corporation, a division of EMRISE
CORPORATION (ARX: ERI), a multi-national
manufacturer of defense and aerospace
electronic components and subsystems and
communications equipment have signed an
agreement moving all repair and service
support for the CXR Halcyon product line
to TesCom. This follows an announcement
made by both companies in June 2005 that
TesCom had purchased the T-Com test set
product line for both new production and
repair and calibration services from CXR
Larus.
All repair and
calibration of CXR Larus' current CXR
Halcyon products, such as the
704A/756/764 series of Wideband TIMS/Signaling
Test Equipment, and all manufacturer
discontinued Halcyon products will be
serviced out of TesCom's new west coast
repair facility located in San Jose,
California. New and existing customers
will be able to continue to have the
same seamless support as they have
enjoyed in the past under CXR Larus
Corporation.
Customers who
require repair and calibration services
for their CXR Halcyon can now contact
TesCom by telephoning 1-800-888-1978, or
visiting their website at:
www.tescomusa.com.
Dave Collmann, VP
of Service for TesCom commented, “The
addition of the CXR Halcyon product line
continues TesCom’s ongoing strategy of
providing test equipment manufacturers
with current and legacy product
support. Telecom service providers have
benefited in the past from TesCom’s
previous relationships, including
support for T Com, Sierra, Acterna,
Phoenix, Fluke and Agilent product
lines. The addition of the CXR Halcyon
product line expands our already
extensive list of test equipment
supported by TesCom.”
Larry Taillie,
President of CXR Larus added, “We are
very pleased to be transitioning the
repair support of the CXR Halcyon
product line to an established industry
service provider such as TesCom. Our
customers will benefit from having a
professional service organization like
TesCom managing their ongoing repair and
calibration support needs for the CXR
Halcyon product line. Moving the repair
support of both current and legacy CXR
Halcyon products to TesCom allows CXR
Larus to focus on our core business of
bringing new products to market, and
further reinforces our commitment to the
strategy of outsourcing.”
