Winegard turns the triple play
into an mdu or residential home runtm ,
Adds triple stacked hdtv technology
and remote mdu system monitoring
All On One Existing Coax Cable,
?Distributing Throughout Multi-Dwelling-Units
From One Connection Point
Burlington, Iowa, November 5, 2005 每 Installers and builders will get their first look at Winegard*s newest product, the HOME RUN, at EHX in Anaheim on Wednesday. Bob Howell, Director Signal Distribution/Off-Air Antenna Business Group, said ※Winegard has taken the Triple Play one step further, by incorporating all the Triple Play services and much more, in one delivery system and bundling them in a new HOME RUN structured wiring box that distributes this package on a single existing coax cable.§
First in the box is MultiletTM, with the ability to offer multi-dwelling unit installers, the enormous advantage to network or retro-fit an entire MDU project on existing RG-6 coaxial runs. Second is Winegard*s new TRIADTM triple-stacking technology for total HDTV reception. Third is AMS*s QuantumAlertTM, a proactive web-enabled real-time 24/7 remote system that monitors the entire MDU IP physical signal distribution network. And fourth is the Triple Play itself, an HDTV Video rich environment, distributing satellite signal combined with free Off-Air HDTV signal, a highly reliable new High Speed broadband data network, with Modem-free Full Duplex Ethernet high speed Internet and Voice-Over-IP incorporated into the High Speed bundled connection.
Multilet allows the installation of a new MDU Residential Star Network without running new cables. From the entry point into an MDU or home, this highly reliable system distributes Video (HDTV), VoIP and High Speed Broadband Data, on a single cable run within and between residential buildings and/or rooms in a home. This provides easy of installation. One central distribution point saves time and money, makes retrofits easy, inexpensive, fast and cost efficient. There*s no need to rewire for LAN or Cat-5 to distribute to each room/unit and cross technology capabilities make it completely transparent to fiber, copper cables, satellite or xDSL broadband
Winegard*s HOME RUN with Multilet offers MDU unit installers, the enormous advantage to network or retro-fit an entire MDU project onto a single or existing RG-6 coaxial run, eliminating the necessity to pull additional coax or CAT-5 wire-runs. To the consumer, Winegard can now offer a product to easily network their home.
Winegard*s TRIAD takes Dual Stacked LNB Technology to the next level. Before TRIAD, a minimum of 2 cables had to be pulled to provide full satellite HDTV signals. TRIAD allows new installations and retrofitting of MDUs and SDUs to receive all HD channels from all three satellites, by stacking all 3 signals and combining them onto a single coaxial cable run.
QuantumTM Services provided by AMS will exclusively deliver the Triple Play bundle throughout MDUs from point-of-entry, while QuantumAlert simultaneously monitors entire properties, single buildings and/or individual users. Chris Silk, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at AMS said ※AMS*s web-enabled QuantumAlert? provides real-time information to the AMS Network Operation Center, allowing AMS technicians to monitor, manage and troubleshoot MDU system status from signal source, through distribution and amplification, to the modem. This network management capability allows AMS to achieve optimum performance with minimal service disruption, minimizing repair time and costly outages, while maximizing optimum user performance and fast resolution. AMS will provide customized Triple Play design options for each property and attractive revenue sharing programs for MDU owners, while offering outstanding customer service, providing the necessary peace of mind that property managers and owners expect and Winegard requires. And we guarantee it.§
ComponexXTM has been supplying products and services to Winegard for over three years. He has consistently stood out among other vendors in his ability to understand and support the technology Winegard desired in penetrating new markets. These efforts were paramount to the success of new Winegard products. Eddie Diaz, President of ComponexX said, ※Critical to reaching maximum market potential for the HOME RUN product line will require the development of additional MDU component accessory items for effective signal distribution.§ ※In addition to Winegard*s relationships§, continued Howell, ※Eddie has working very successfully with the engineers and business development executives in the satellite and telephone industries and he will be an invaluable resource in assisting Winegard in achieving product acceptance for the HOME RUN. For these reasons, ComponexX has been picked as the commercial distributor for the HOME RUN.§
Winegard*s Multilet product will be introduced at the EHX Show in Anaheim, November 9 每 11 in booth #810 and at CES 2006 in booth #26135.
