Fial Incorporated Celebrates 30 Year Anniversary

Commitment and Customer Service Mark Company’s 30 Year Milestone

OREGON CITY, OR -- Fial Incorporated, a premier provider of telecommunications alarm monitoring equipment is celebrating 30 years in business.

“Fial Incorporated has gone through several changes and challenges in 30 years, but we continue to grow and prosper largely due to our strong innovative technology and strong focus on customer service," said Kathy Fial, President and Chief Executive Officer, Fial Incorporated.  “There are many stresses in having one's own business and in being responsible for a payroll.  They are completely outweighed by the honor of working with our competent, dedicated, and loyal employees.  For me, the major benefit in running this business is the opportunity to apply our personal ethics and commitments to what we do on a daily basis, without compromise.”

Fial Incorporated's continued success within the telecommunications industry can be attributed to innovative technology, the ability to successfully deploy high value solutions, and a strong customer focus.

Fial Incorporated has adapted quickly and often in the ever changing technical industry to emerge as one of the most respected developers of modern telecommunications network software and hardware.  “Fial is one of the rare companies that actually provides what they say they are capable of," says Phil Cooke of Central Arizona Project, one of the major power companies monitoring their telecommunications network with Fial Incorporated hardware and software.

One of the company’s key products in the marketplace is a network monitoring system know as the "NGM - Next Generation Master."  The NGM is an advanced and highly reliable fault manager of transmission equipment. Distinguishing the NGM from other managers is the ability to natively support many of the most prevalent microwave radios in the industry. The NGM integrates alarms and performance information from various protocols into a uniform, graphical or text display which can be individually tailored for each user. The NGM currently offers monitoring of SNMP, Alcatel MCS-ll, TL1, Harris FarScan™ and the Badger 481 protocol. While the most popular telecom protocols are supported, Fial Incorporated developers are always eager to add support for new protocols.

Fial Incorporated happily celebrated this hallmark anniversary by donating 30 trees to the parks department of Oregon City, Oregon. The parks department received 30 trees of their choice, in a variety of native species. The trees were planted in several local parks and also used in landscaping some of Oregon City’s historic locations. Eva Pratt, Sales and Marketing manager for the company commented “Fial Incorporated is a family and community oriented Pacific Northwest company. Donating trees to further beautify our home town was an easy choice, indicative of our company culture. We simply felt it was the best way to share our good fortune with our community”.
