San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 18, 2011
Follow us on LinkedIn – The remarkable growth of computer networks since introduction of the Internet and the subsequent development of new technologies to enhance network functionality have triggered off demand for network test equipment worldwide. Designed to monitor and troubleshoot network related issues, LAN/WAN test equipment has become a major part of network operations, and gained wide acceptance among private enterprises, service providers, and network equipment manufacturers. Demand for network test equipment has increased with private enterprises need to continuously monitor network integrity, and service providers? requirement for optimal network performance. LAN/WAN test equipment checks network reliability, throughput, and quality of service, and also ensure network stability needed by both service providers and private enterprises.
Demand for LAN/WAN test equipment in the recent years is highly supported by the latest developments in communication technologies, including VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), 10GbE (Ten Gigabit Ethernet), VPN (Virtual Private Network), and PON (Passive Optical Network). Further, the demand is influenced by the initiation of 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) deployments, wireless networks, Gigabit PON (GPON), and triple play services, including video, voice, and data. Development of FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home), and enhancing bandwidth needs are further expected to support the growth of network test equipment market in the next few years.
The recent global economic meltdown, which sent ripples of unrest in most business sectors during 2008 and 2009, not surprisingly left the worldwide LAN/WAN Test Equipment market hurting. With the financial crisis led economic slowdown negatively impacting every company?s IT structure, world market for LAN/WAN Test equipment stood significantly weakened during the period. Budgetary constraints, lack of capital for investments in IT assets and the general strategy of ?doing more with less? took its toll on LAN/WAN test equipment as spending on network infrastructure witnessed a significant fall. With several companies throwing plans to deploy expensive wireless network infrastructure and endpoints for regional offices onto the backburner until signs of an economic recovery, new orders for LAN/WAN test equipment took a severe blow during 2009. Lack of strong budgets to fund equipment replacements also forced companies to focus on optimally utilizing their existing test equipment rather than investing in replacements or upgradation, thereby dragging down growth further in the market.
Another major factor that squeezed revenues for the market during the recession was the rise in demand for pre-owned as well as rental LAN/WAN test equipment. Affordable and available with same warranty and product support as in newer equipment, these products have been safe bet for end-users during weak economy. Cost wary end-users, especially those keen on surviving the crisis, mostly preferred rental or pre-owned equipment, thus squeezing revenues for LAN/WAN test equipment manufacturers.
Following drastic slowdown in revenue growth during 2009, the global market for LAN/WAN testing equipment staged a healthy comeback in the year 2010, primarily driven by resurgence in growth fundamentals such as improvement in global economy, and subsequent improvement in spending power among end-users and resurgence in network infrastructure investments. Going further, growth in the LAN/WAN test equipment market will be primarily driven by mass proliferation of advanced technologies and applications such as WiMax, and 3G/3.5G, especially in relatively large untapped markets in Asia Pacific such as Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Pakistan, South Korea and Singapore. Increase in global number of wireless subscribers and cell site constructions, addition of new global as well as regional frequency bands, such as WiMax bands of 2700MHz and 2500 MHz internationally and AWS in Canada and the US, and the increasing shift towards all-IP networks, particularly the use of IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) technology will boost market prospects for LAN/WAN Test equipment over the next few years.
With enterprises fast migrating their valuable data from traditional TDM based networks to advanced IP based LAN/WAN networks, its opportunities galore for LAN/WAN Test equipment. The need for business continuity and increasing deployment of Wireless Networks in enterprises will also create tremendous market opportunities for advanced LAN/WAN test equipment in the enterprise segment. The market will also be driven by continued advancements in telecom sector. Heavy investments being made by telecom carriers on new IP technology, wireless infrastructure and fiber for providing state-of-the-art video, voice, and data services will create significant demand for LAN/WAN test equipment in the telecom industry. The ever-increasing proliferation of triple play services and complexity of networks demand high bandwidth speeds, fostering the demand for technologically advanced testing solutions.
As stated by the new market research report on LAN/WAN Test Equipment, the US continues to remain the largest regional market worldwide. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing regional market displaying a CAGR of about 6.5% over the analysis period. Performance Analyzers & Stress Testers represents the fastest growing market segment, by product type. Growth in this segment will be especially driven by technology developments and introduction of products with advanced features such as those capable of checking entire OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) layers into one system.

South Padre Island, Texas (PRWEB) November 18, 2011
Origins Recovery Centers, a nationally-recognized provider of longer-term inpatient addiction and co-occurring disorder treatment, announced that it has opened ?Hannah?s House by Origins?, a highly-specialized women?s addiction treatment program located on tropical South Padre Island, Texas. The waterfront property is separate from Origins? flagship men?s campus and caters exclusively to the unique needs of women suffering from substance abuse and related issues. The program places particular emphasis on trauma resolution and the treatment of co-occurring pathology that makes the road to recovery particularly difficult when left untreated.
?We?re delighted to offer the treatment intensity that Origins is known for with sophisticated addiction medicine and clinical care tailored specifically to a woman?s needs. Referring professionals who rely on Origins as a treatment resource have been asking us to open a gender-separate women?s program for years; we leveraged our team of specialized clinical and medical talent to design this distinctive program,? said Ben Levenson, Chief Executive Officer. ?Women are notoriously underserved and under-resourced. Origins is proud to provide an extremely high-quality, trauma-informed, longer-term women?s treatment program in the Texas market ? Hannah?s House is desperately needed,? he said.
Origins began renovating and feminizing the quaint bay-side property over six months ago. The Company licensed an additional 4,000 square feet of clinical services space for the partial hospitalization program which includes therapist offices, elaborate group rooms, a psychological testing lab, additional nursing station and physician?s office. The boutique treatment program is limited to only sixteen adult female clients in order to ensure an extremely high level of clinical attention and patient care. The expert treatment team for Hannah?s House boasts an entirely female staff of addiction professionals. Each Case Manager is an experienced, masters-level therapist trained in treating addiction, sexual and physical trauma, co-occurring eating disorders, self-harm, body-image issues and other challenges commonly facing addicted women. Hannah?s House utilizes the Origins organization?s existing medical and clinical resources including Psychiatrists, Psychologists, an Internist, nurses, a dietician, personal trainer, 12 Step experts, ministerial support personnel and others. In addition to individualized intensive clinical attention, clients of Hannah?s House will enjoy encounters with Origins? physicians and nurses every day.
The Origins model of addiction treatment harmonizes the latest advances in addiction medicine and evidence-based therapeutic interventions with an immersion in the ageless Twelve Step experience. Hannah?s House by Origins is designed for the relapsing woman with unresolved trauma and outstanding co-occurring disorders. Through effective therapies like EMDR, motivational interviewing, psychodrama, cognitive and dialectical behavioural therapy, adventure and arts therapy, Origins? therapists are able to help clients heal long-standing wounds while learning to live on a spiritual basis of life through the Twelve Steps.
?The data is very clear in this regard. Chemically dependent women are much more likely than their male counterparts to have been the victims of serious abuse. In fact, high instances of women who find their way into treatment report trauma and abuse histories. That?s why the integrated treatment of trauma and substance abuse is a key feature of treatment at Hannah?s House,? said Rich Whitman, the Origins President and Executive Director. ?Treatment at Hannah?s is complete with dignity, passion, clinical sophistication and love.?
?I never expected that I would be living on South Padre Island,? said Michele Kliewer, LPC, a newly hired therapist at Hannah?s House, ?however, the enthusiasm for recovery in Origins? culture is quite literally infectious. After meeting the current staff, learning more about their clinical vision and seeing how gorgeous the new facilities are, I knew I had to become part of this wonderful organization. I?m home,? she said.
