ADC KRONE At A Glance

ADC KRONE

In May 2004, ADC acquired The KRONE Group. KRONE’s brand strength in certain regions of the world has driven ADC KRONE to adapt the KRONE name to form ADC KRONE in the Europe/Middle East/Africa and Indo-Pacific Regions. In these regions, ADC KRONE offers the same high quality public and private network equipment and professional services that our customers require to deliver communications to their end users. ADC feels that providing equipment and services under the ADC KRONE name in these regions will enhance how the company serves its customers and conducts business on a global basis.

Overview

In the unrelenting drive for bandwidth, communications service providers across the globe increasingly rely on ADC KRONE to eliminate the bottlenecks in the delivery of high-speed, high-quality video, data and voice services to consumers and businesses — in the home, in the office and on the go. With an industry-leading portfolio of network infrastructure solutions and services, ADC KRONE is supporting our customers as they continue to invest heavily in the migration to next generation networks. This transformation impacts the “last mile/kilometer” — the network area where ADC KRONE helps smooth the convergence of wireline and wireless applications and transitions infrastructure from its legacy copper and circuit origins to a fiber and packet architecture.

Since ADC was founded in 1935, it has become a world leader in providing global network infrastructure products and services that enable the profitable delivery of high-speed Internet, video, data, and voice services to residential, business and mobile subscribers worldwide. With the acquisition of the KRONE Group in 2004, ADC now offers global copper- and fiber-based connectivity solutions and cabling products used in public access and enterprise networks and provides global scale and expanded products and services to better serve customers anywhere in the world.
