American Access Technologies Designs Custom Zone Cabling Unit for Major Auto Manufacturer

    LAKE MARY, Fla.--May 15, 2000--American Access Technologies announced today that its distributor, Anicom, Inc. negotiated the sale of 70 custom zone cabling enclosures to be installed in the main computer room at the Detroit-area corporate headquarters of a major auto manufacturer.
    Rick Snares, Anicom's Executive Account Manager overseeing the project, said he chose American Access products "because it was the only company that had what we needed. We're currently looking at the ceiling mount unit to be used for another job with this same auto manufacturer. Will I continue to spec American Access cabinets? Absolutely."
    This is the auto company's first order for zone cabling enclosures, said Steve Shultz, Anicom's account representative for the project.
    American Access' vice president of sales, Ray Kirk, said the sale represents continued recognition of the company's product as a cost-saving method for telecommunications' projects.
    "The beauty of our product is the versatility it allows us. We worked with Anicom on the designs for this project and developed a special floor unit that will save as much as 70% in installation and future maintenance for this computer room," Kirk said.
    American Access manufactures zone cabling units that mount in ceilings, raised floors, and in custom furniture. The Company's concept of "zone cabling" reduces costs while providing versatility for voice and data infrastructures.
    Publicly-held companies that are customers of American Access include Sun Microsystems , SGI , Baan Company N.V. ; Qwest Communications International Inc. ; Fina, Inc. ; First Data Corporation ; Gateway 2000 Inc. ; Household International Inc. ; Mobil Corporation ; Cisco Systems, Inc. ; and Level 3 Communications, Inc. . Several private corporations, school districts and other government entities also are American Access customers.
