WALLINGFORD, Conn. -- Mangrove Systems, an industry leader in multi-service access and aggregation for 3G wireless and wireline networks, is pleased to announce it is fully compliant with the European Union’s (EU) directive on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) for its full line of Piranha™ platforms.

RoHS, enacted by the EU in February, 2003, are the regulations and standards governing the use of six hazardous substances within electrical and electronic equipment. Manufacturers of electronics products outside Europe must abide by this legislation if the equipment they produce is ultimately imported to an EU member state. The legislation will be enforced throughout the European Union beginning July 1, 2006.

“Mangrove is pleased to have acted to help their customers achieve early compliance with RoHS," said John Hannon, Mangrove’s CFO and COO. “Our goal is to provide customers with a path to convert their networks to RoHS compliant equipment without compromising performance and reliability. As a worldwide equipment supplier, we support all international and industry regulations that promote a cleaner and healthier environment."
