Phillip Crosby once said that “quality is the result of a carefully constructed cultural environment. It has to be the fabric of the organization, not part of the fabric.” Telmar strives to continuously enhance its capabilities and quality of service at our facilities around the world to prove that we are 100 percent committed to quality. An active member of the QuEST Forum, we the only provider certified in both the TL 9000 (the quality management standard for the telecommunications industry) procurement and repair services product categories and one of a few providers of pre-owned solutions currently certified to the TL 9000 procurement standard.
QuEST Forum is the industry trade association that created and maintains the TL 9000 Quality Management System. The TL 9000 standard is the basis for Telmar’s global quality system. QuEST Forum is a unique partnership of telecommunications service providers and suppliers with a vision to be the global force for improving quality of products and services delivered to customers of communication technologies.
Throughout the years, Telmar’s involvement with QuEST Forum has been at all levels including the Executive Board, working committees, and sub-teams along with multiple presentations at QuEST Forum’s Best Practices Conferences around the world. This involvement has allowed us to form and enhance relationships across the industry, influence the standard, and gain from the best practices shared by other members. As an active member since 1999, Telmar has an equal vote in any decisions including modification of the TL 9000 Handbooks themselves. Currently, there are a total of 118 QuEST Forum members. Included in this number are all of our major customers and competitors.
Our most recent connection to QuEST Forum is the appointment of President and CEO, Steve Pickett, as an Executive Contributor to the Quality Excellence for Suppliers of Telecommunications (QuEST) Forum Executive Board. Pickett will lead a Board level project focused on expanding the marketing of QuEST Forum and TL 9000 beyond traditional audiences through speaking engagements at non-QuEST Forum events, leveraging existing liaison agreements, the development of additional liaison agreements in new industries, and working with another Board project to address various new market segments such as the cable industry.

It’s not a secret anymore that there’s a component shortage which is having a hard impact on telecom product deliveries to carriers around the world.
As Light Reading reported, the shortage has resulted in delays in filling orders to the world’s largest systems vendors, as well as other DWDM vendors. And in some cases, the shortage has resulted in filling orders to carriers. Not only has this affected their capability to manufacture and ship existing products, but has also delayed testing and qualification of new products.
Reuters reported that some components may not be available until 2011.
Since carriers can’t afford to not maintain their networks or expand or enhance their technology to meet their end users’ needs, reuse telecom equipment is a solution available immediately. Reuse telecom equipment offers a solution that carriers can immediately tap into for products and systems they need to manage their wireline or wireless networks. Telmar’s certified pre-owned products and our own line of Telmar Extended Life products offer a cost-effective solution to a carrier’s needs.
Our pre-owned products not only cost 30-70% less than new products or from other resellers, but each product is fully inspected and tested both in-bound and out-bound, certified, contains a unique warranty tracking label, and is sold with a multi-year Telmar warranty.
Carriers don’t have to sacrifice reliability or quality, as Telmar’s reuse equipment has 99.9999% reliability with lower downtime (0.0037 days/5.26 minutes).
As an OEM, Telmar has acquired 23 product lines from Alcatel, and sustains these products through continued manufacturing, custom R&D and long-term support services. Our Extended Life product family includes SONET multiplexers, optical amplifiers, cross connects, optical gateways and DACs.
Instead of purchasing equipment, Telmar can also help carriers extend the life of their products and maintain quality of service through our multi-vendor repair services. Our turnaround time is 15 days, and if you had an amergency, we can pull product out of our inventory for a one-day delivery.

Carl Weinschenk could not have been more spot-on when he referred to the healthcare industry as the poster child for the advantages that unified communications promise. The need for immediate communication between doctors, nurses and other hospital and healthcare practitioners alone is enough proof to back up this statement.
Loosely defined, unified communications (UC) is a highly integrated combination of voice, multi-media, data and mobility in a secure and redundant network. In an industry where a lack of communication possibilities can literally be the difference between life and death, adopting a UC solution is more than an attractive idea. This is not to say that the transition will be easy. Seldom will an industry see a new opportunity presented without new challenges and obstacles attached to the process.
Among these challenges is the unavoidable resistance to change. When you are in the business of saving lives, technological reliability is key. Healthcare organizations are not keen on replacing their current trusted and working systems. When you combine security and privacy issues with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) compliancy issues, the process begins to seem less and less appealing. Not to mention, the cost of switching to a UC solution alone is at least doubled for hospitals compared to other customers.
“The paradox is that hospitals have 21st century needs, 20th century technology and 19th century budgets.”
-Carl Weinschenk, IT Business Edge, March 5
Because not all healthcare facilities will be able to afford new technology, many healthcare IT departments are looking for solutions that can extend the life of their current network. Our solution to this problem is simple: serve as a telecom hospital for the healthcare industry.
Telmar’s enterprise business unit has the capability to offer healthcare organizations a comprehensive suite of repair, replacement and inventory management. Our blended approach will allow hospitals, medical centers and doctors to maximize their current investments while migrating to a robust communications solution to meet their future needs. The healthcare industry will benefit from our UC solution by having greater flexibility, faster resolution and multiple manufacturer coverage with renewed warranties all at a lower cost.
