Environmental responsibility is a cornerstone of the Ulticom culture and we appreciate the challenges you face in meeting social, business, and regulatory requirements. As a global technology supplier with products deployed in the largest and most demanding telecommunications networks in the world, Ulticom understands both the impact that environmental aspects of our own operations have as well as the extent to which our products influence the impacts made by other organizations. We believe that what's good for the environment is also good for business. Measures such as reducing power consumption benefit both the environment and the bottom line.

Ulticom's commitment to reducing negative impacts on the environment is demonstrated in our entire line of SS7 signaling boards. Every board we sell is compliant with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive 2002/95/EC, reducing the amount of dangerous substances such as lead and mercury reaching the waste stream. Furthermore, although the PICMG specification allows for more power consumption, we have designed our new AH0305-4 AMC board to utilize less than 20 watts. This reduces operating costs by minimizing the need for power and cooling. Finally, the packaging for our boards is 100% recyclable, from the outer box to the ESD-safe "clam shell" plastic case.

Ulticom's Signalware network ready product line is built upon our proven software and SS7 interface board technology. Performance, reliability, total cost of ownership, and eco-responsibility were key factors in the selection of the platform. Sun Microsystems' Netra servers were a clear choice.

The Netra T2000 server delivers breakthrough throughput with dramatic space, cooling, and power efficiency using Sun's Chip Multithreading Technology (CMT) processor architecture. The Netra T2000 server's extreme compute density and ultra-low power consumption, along with its ruggedized features, make it ideal to meet the increasing demands of the network infrastructure For further information including features, specifications, cost benefits, and power savings calculator, visit Sun's Netra website.

Ulticom's commitment to the environment doesn't stop with our products. Through power, waste, and travel reduction efforts, Ulticom is minimizing the environmental impacts of our operations. By investing in our IT infrastructure, we were able to improve our remote communication capabilities and reduce air travel by over 32%. Internal recycling activities continue to keep tons of waste out of landfills. Finally, company-wide policies such as powering off PCs and other office equipment when not in use has created a substantial energy savings.

Ulticom believes that environmental responsibility benefits not only society but also the bottom line. These values are an integral part of our culture and permeate our organization. They influence not only the products we produce but how we produce them. We are committed to all of our stakeholders - customers, employees, shareholders, partners, and communities - to deliver solutions that are environmentally responsible and to continually implement programs to further reduce our contribution to global climate change.
