LAS VEGAS (Map) - LAS VEGAS, June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PECO II, Inc. (Nasdaq: PIII), a communications industry power systems and services provider, announced today that it will display its new Quantum small power platform in the Walker and Associates booth at NXTcomm. Quantum is the first new product to be jointly marketed by PECO and Walker. The partnership combines a leading manufacturer of telecom power systems with a world-class distributor and systems integrator.

Jacquie Boyer, PECO II vice president of sales, said, "We are excited to join forces with Walker in the introduction of Quantum. Walker's experience and marketplace presence ideally complement PECO's application and manufacturing capabilities. Through Walker, we will be able to reach a very important segment of our market."

The Quantum platform is a 48-volt DC power system that combines high-density rectifiers, distribution and control in a sleek, low-profile shelf for optimized value to telecom carriers deploying fiber-to-the-node and traditional wireline architectures.
