About Network Orange

A little background and history...

Network Orange, Inc. sells network test, monitoring and control equipment. We are the Southeast representatives for respected manufacturers of datacom test equipment and we produce the MANTASYSTEM family of specialized test products for E9-1-1.

A long time ago . . .

Network Orange was founded in 1979 and incorporated in 1981. Initially, Network Orange was the exclusive Florida representative for Atlantic Research Corporation and specialized in protocol analyzers, patch systems and network control equipment.

Since then, we've evolved with the technology and now support products that test and manage networks of all kinds: LANs, WANs, Wireless, etc.

"Network Orange"?

We’re often asked about our name. When we started in 1979, our territory was Florida and we picked "orange" to identify with the state. Since we sold network test and control equipment, we wanted to include "network" in the name. So "Network Orange" seemed appropriate. Perhaps we were a little short sighted because it did not take long for us to expand our coverage beyond Florida. Some people have said that our name made them think of "agent orange" or the movie "A Clockwork Orange". Both are unfortunate and inappropriate associations. We are not involved with chemicals of any kind and we are not particularly violent.

MANTASYSTEM

Network Orange produces a specialized test system that is installed at an E9-1-1 PSAP for continuous monitoring of important PSAP elements. Hundreds of MANTAPROBE Analyzers are now installed in PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points) helping service providers detect, diagnose, and resolve problems with E9-1-1 equipment and communications facilities.

"Manta" means "blanket" in Spanish. Indeed, our MantaSystem covers all PSAP equipment and systems. The real reason we used Manta in our product name was because we like the creature.
