Diversified Technology, Inc. to Present Series of Technical Tracks at Globalcomm


Open Sessions Being Offered on AdvancedTCA and COM Express in Booth 17051

RIDGELAND, MS - May 17, 2006 - Diversified Technology, Inc. (DTI) will be hosting interactive presentations in their booth at GLOBALCOMM 2006 (June 5th - June 7th). The series will cover three topics with multiple times for each session. Two of the overviews cover AdvancedTCA inter-workings and the third highlights the new module standard, COM Express. Each presentation will begin at the first of the hour and include a brief slide presentation followed by an open-question forum between the attendees and host. As a thank you, all attendees will be entered into a drawing for an Apple IPOD to be given away in DTI's booth at the end of GLOBALCOMM 2006.

"This series allows DTI an opportunity to build a knowledge-base with our clients and to develop valuable feedback and discussions as we progress in our program developments for AdvancedTCA and COM Express," said Joe McDevitt one of the session hosts and DTI's VP of Technical Development. "New standards oftentimes take years to fully implement in to the marketplace and successfully allow customers the time to learn the advantages associated with using the new hardware design. Our goal is to help speed up that process and help the session participants gain valuable information ahead of the curve so that they may get a jump on their competition utilizing these new technologies.
