Bexel Broadcast Services Named to Distribute Stratos Digital Video
Communication Products in U.S. CHICAGO, Dec. 16
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stratos International, Inc.
(NASDAQ:STLW), a pioneer in fiber optic communications, has named
Bexel Broadcast Services, Fiber Optic Solutions group as a national
value-added distributor for Stratos' digital video communications
products. Founded in 1981, Bexel has become a leading supplier to
the broadcast and production communities by providing cutting-edge
video/audio rentals, engineering expertise, technical advice and
custom production solutions. Bexel's Fiber Optic Solutions group
specializes in the sales and rental of optical equipment to the
broadcast industry, manufacture of optical cable assemblies, and
complete integration and installation of optical cable and
equipment. Specifically, the deal provides Stratos with an
additional sales channel for their compact video media converters
(VMCs) and accessories. Available for a wide range of digital video
applications, these fiber-to-coax modules effectively eliminate the
distance limitations and signal degradation of coaxial links. They
are ideal for television studios, video production houses, video
switches, stadiums, amphitheaters, on-locations shoots, video
production houses or anywhere where digital video signals must be
sent over considerable distances. According to Scott Nardelli,
Director of Bexel Fiber Optic Solutions, "Many of our clients are
now requiring HD optical support for HD plasmas, HD projectors, HD
POV cameras and other equipment used during a major broadcast
production. Because each set is a stand-alone HD path, these media
converters allow us greater flexibility in the configuration of
equipment and resources. Our experience and our clients' feedback
on the Stratos units have been positive. Their versatility, robust
performance, and size make them a valuable product for both rental,
sales and integration businesses." Since a significant percentage
of VMC users are system integrators and end-users, Bexel represents
an excellent sales channel to complement Stratos' traditional OEM
partners. According to Mark Benton, Product Manager for Stratos'
Digital Video Products, "We are confident that Bexel's excellent
reputation, broad customer base and market coverage will help
accelerate the penetration of Stratos digital video transport &
aggregation technologies in the U.S." For additional information,
