In 2001, the number of 100 M/bits ports reached the same level as the number of 10 M/bits ports around the world. The high-speed market grew dramatically when the price of a 100 M/bits ports decreased to a 10 M/bits port price. By 2006 the number of 1000 M/bits ports will exceed the number of 100 M/bits ports.

These numbers show that it's necessary to anticipate the evolution of your installation. But evolution to what? Where will it stop? More over, we also realize that the End User is typically attached to his installer, whom he looks to for a total solution.

Manufacturers should drive the market from the top, developing new technologies, even at the risk of making their existing products obsolete.

Medialan-Industries developed, along with its MI3 network, the "ELITES Service". The Mi3 installer enables End Users to benefit from the advantages of the "ELITES Service". Dedicated to the Key Account Customers, this service provides assistance within 24 hours during the week and 48 hours during "long" weekends. Also, with the optional "UPDATE Service", MI3 will update the installation, providing for the evolution of the network by incorporating future technological innovations (based on an agreement between the MI3 and the End User).

In this way, End Users will no longer be limited in their choices. He will be not obliged to wait for the finalisation of his project or the validation of any norm.

Another advantage of this programme is linked to the attribution of budgets within the key accounts. End Users can manage their installation step-by-step, following the rhythms of the budget.
