Transport Technology Uses Existing Building Coaxial Wiring to
Significantly Reduce Deployment Costs ENGLEWOOD, Colo., June 15
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS TeleWire Supply today announced an
agreement to market high-speed data networking equipment developed
by Duluth, GA-based coaXmedia, Inc. to cable operators. coaXmedia
is a leading developer and provider of data transport technology
for the hospitality and MDU industries. The coaXmedia system
permits the delivery of up to 36 Mbps downstream and 12/24 Mbps
upstream over non-broadcast frequencies, using existing in-building
cable and a backhaul connection selected by the hotel or MDU
operator. coaXmedia's SERIES 6100(TM) system consists of a
Broadband Gateway(TM) server, the SD3 Series SandDollar(TM) access
device in each room or residence, and a wireless access point for
meeting rooms and common areas. The Gateway facilitates the
transfer of IP traffic, using existing in-building coaxial cable,
between the ISP and individual PC users inside the building. The
SandDollar provides connectivity to the end user at speeds up to 36
Mbps. Using coaXmedia's web-based coZmo management system, an ISP,
management company or building staff can activate or deactivate
SandDollars and remotely manage multiple properties from a single,
centralized location. "Older hotels and apartment buildings are
typically wired with outdated cable and passive devices that are
not conducive to today's broadband data services," said Bob
Puccini, President of ARRIS TeleWire Supply. "Since coaXmedia
technology works with and overcomes deficiencies in existing
building wiring, deployment is more affordable and can be executed
with a minimal amount of disruption and inconvenience for the
building residents and hotel guests." "coaXmedia has been focused
on assisting the cable operators in creating new revenue streams in
the hospitality and MDU sectors," said Dan Seitam, CEO of
coaXmedia. "ARRIS TeleWire Supply will provide us with the sales
reach required to expand our footprint in the cable industry and
accelerate that initiative." Live demonstrations of coaXmedia
products will be featured at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo in ARRIS booth
#355. About ARRIS: ARRIS provides broadband local access networks
