Finding Hidden Value in Your Communications Equipment

FRICTIONLESS PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Advance Solutions That Eliminate The Need For
Problems.

Breaking the Chains of the Supply Chain
At RDS, we offer both new in box solutions and
secondary market sourcing. Why does this
matter? In an ideal world, traditional supply
chain vendors and OEM distributors would always
deliver on time and to spec, but in reality this
isn't always a given. Sales contracts,
especially for Government customers, can take
time to be approved. And while it would be nice
if all vendors could hold product indefinitely
while you are waiting for approval, by the time
your project becomes a reality there are often
other factors at play.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

• Delays - You may run into long manufacturer lead
  times or have to wait for product because another
  customer has bought up the existing supply.
• Nature - The Japanese Tsunami, for example, threw
  modem and chip production schedules off for
  months last year.
• End of Sale or End of Life Issues - Sometimes
  projects get delayed so long that your preferred
  product doesn't even technically exist anymore.
  Your quote could become obsolete due to the EOL
  and EOS schedules of some OEMs or if the product
  manufacturer gets bought out or goes out of
  business.
• Financing Times are tough and not all vendors,
  even OEMs, are able to extend Net 45 terms or
  navigate Ariba billing.

RDS Your Technology Solution Partner
Here at RDS, we don't look at challenging sales
scenarios as roadblocks, nor do we make them your
problem. We specialize in making the seemingly
impossible into a reality and thrive on exactly
these sorts of challenges. Long OEM lead times?
We will scour the secondary market for existing
product, call out an all points bulletin to our
consignment partners and generally go to the ends
of the earth to gather up product in time to meet
your customer's deadlines. End of sale? It's not
the end of the world. We specialize in locating
the obsolete, and can sometimes even find your no
longer manufactured product still "new in box."
Will these extraordinary efforts work every
single time? Not always - we are, after all, only
human. But, will your other supply chain partners
go to these lengths for you?

Pre-staging Services
You've heard the old saying "good enough for
government work." But the truth of the matter is
that providing services for government customers
requires talent, finesse, and crackerjack project
management skills. You have deadlines to meet,
product coming in from several locations and
vendors, and stressed out techs at the staging
end. However, with multiple providers come
multiple ways of doing things, such as
inconsistent part numbers and packaging. That's
why we offer full service "pre-staging" solutions
- working with your planning and staging teams to
get to know your project from birth to grave. We
maintain a complete database of proprietary part
numbers (such as ATT "ISE" numbers for cabling
and accessories) and are very flexible and
responsive to your staging teams packing and
delivery needs. If the project's needs change
midcourse, we can turn on a dime and we keep in
constant communication with your team to make
sure that all changes in schedule or delivery
needs are communicated regularly.

Custom Cabling
RDS offers a full catalog of custom and standard
network and fiber patch cables and adapters and
maintains an up to date version of ATTs
internal ISE numbering system so we can be sure
the right cable is ordered every time. Custom
lengths are not a problem, and we are happy to
work with your design team to solve patch cable
mysteries when dealing with older or
proprietary equipment that uses non-standard
cabling. Need patch cables fast? We can help! We
offer expedited shipping on request and, in an
emergency, will work to arrange weekend, Counter
to Counter, or same day delivery when possible.

CPE Out-Of-Band Solutions
At RDS, what we don't have is a failure to
communicate. We offer a full range of GSA
listed Out Of Band and CPE gear, including
modems, routers, and CSU/DSU equipment, satellite
and microwave radio gear, cabling, racks, and
hardware. We carry products from Multitech,
U.S. Robotics, Zhone/Paradyne, Cisco, Juniper,
Verilink, Larscom, Adtran, Tellabs and many other
manufacturers. And if we cant find something, we
can probably repair it, so dont hesitate to ask.

  Management solutions, including the Baytech DS
  and DS-RP series Out Of Band console devices, as
  well as solutions from Dataprobe and Raritan.

you really are known by the company you keep. The

communications backbone running also make up the

Alcatel-Lucent, Nortel, Tellabs, Fujitsu, ADC,
NEC, Siemens, Westell, Marconi, Symmetricom,

that you are looking for, odds are that we can
still track it down. RDS can get the equipment
you need whether it is trailing-edge or
bleeding-edge technology.

management program to help our customers maintain
100 network uptime. Our sparing solutions can
include on-site or off-site warehousing options,
testing, refurbishment, repair, restocking,
advance replacement and logistical support. We
offer both refurbished and new equipment as
spares, depending on our customers program
requirements. Using refurbished equipment when
permissible helps reduce the total cost of
spares, is good for the environment, and can be
priceless when locating hard to find or obsolete
equipment.

day, never fear. We will do everything in our
power to make it happen so you can be a hero to

response and it is not unusual for us to fulfill
