For immediate
release:
Coaxsys,
Digital Delivery Group Reach Distribution Agreement for First
CATV-Compatible Ethernet-over-Coax IP Network
100Mbps IP Retrofit Solution, TVnet/C Pro, Now Available Nationwide
LOS GATOS, Calif., October 12, 2005 – Coaxsys,
leaders in IPTV and multimedia networking, and Digital Delivery
Group (DDG), a national consortium of CE specialty distributors,
have reached an agreement to distribute TVnet/C Pro. TVnet/C Pro
is a 100Mbps Ethernet-over-Coax solution that enables custom integrators
to use a home's existing coaxial cable to simultaneously distribute
cable television (CATV), provide IP video distribution, and enable
high-speed IP multimedia networking.
Coaxsys' TVnet/C Pro is the first high-speed Ethernet-over-Coax
Cat-5 alternative to target custom installers and systems integrators.
While TVnet solutions are already deployed by more than fifty
Telcos, cable operators, and service providers, TVnet/C Pro is
the first CATV-compatible high-speed home networking solution
available to the public through the CI channel. DDG, with member
sales companies and warehouses strategically located throughout
the US, will provide national distribution coverage for this revolutionary
solution.
David Kaplan, Director of the Digital Delivery
Group, said "We are extremely excited about being selected
to distribute TVnet/C Pro, one of the most powerful and practical
home networking products available. Installers will now be able
to retrofit homes or extend existing networks without having to
rewire with Cat-5 Ethernet. Using existing coax will create opportunities
for new and in many cases previously impractical projects."
Matt Bossory, National Sales Manager at Coaxsys,
said "We are enthusiastic about TVnet/C Pro's introduction
to the custom integrator market, and we believe that DDG is an
exceptional partner for us. Their national reach, commitment to
training, and market guidance are what makes DDG a top-notch distribution
partner, and we are excited about moving forward with them."
TVnet/C Pro is a high-speed 100Mbps IP networking
adapter specifically designed to enable custom integrators to
use existing coax for both CATV and connecting any Ethernet device.
TVnet/C Pro functions over RG-6 or RG-59 coax, works through splitters,
and operates in any coax topology, including home-runs or daisy
chains. The high-bandwidth network makes it possible for installers
to send multiple video streams throughout a network, as well as
connect any number of Ethernet devices, including home theater
components, media servers, DVRs, IP security cameras, video game
consoles, and any other Ethernet device. TVnet/C Pro does not
disrupt CATV signals and is compatible with both SD and HD video.
The two companies noted that TVnet/C Pro adapters
are available now.
