Comtrend Corporation Launches BeamLink HD IPTV Wireless Video Adapters

BeamLink gives service providers a way to distribute multiple streams of
high quality video while reducing expensive truck rolls

IRVINE, CA. February 16, 2010 – Comtrend Corporation, a global supplier
of advanced networking solutions, today announced the launch of its new
BeamLink Wireless Video Adapters. Now available to service providers in
North America, the BeamLink adapters are used to distribute multiple
streams of carrier-grade High Definition (HD) IPTV content from an
Ethernet-equipped home gateway or DVR to IP set top boxes.

BeamLink provides a high-quality, wire-like IPTV video experience along
with whole home networking coverage free of dead spots. Through the use
of Celeno’s HD Wi-Fi chipset, consumers can now experience a superior HD
viewing experience. BeamLink provides unique and cost-effective
multi-client scalability for service providers while eliminating the
cost and hassle of installing new wires. The ease of self-installation
does away with expensive truck rolls – simply connect the main BeamLink
AP device to your gateway and the remote client to your IP set top box.

BeamLink is easily self-installed with plug and play operation,
supporting up to four client set top boxes. With one push of a button,
the network is automatically self-installed and associated in a matter
of seconds. The IPTV home network allows subscribers to enjoy simple
connectivity of multiple HD video sources (such as IPTV,
Video-on-Demand, stored content on DVR) with the various TV screens in
the home.

“With the growing demand for HD viewing, the new BeamLink adapters are a
perfect fit for any service provider looking to provide highly optimized
HD IPTV distribution within the home,” says John Castreje, General
Manager for Comtrend North America. “In fact, BeamLink can achieve an
exceptional coverage footprint with wire-like video quality. BeamLink
adds to Comtrend’s growing portfolio of home networking products and
focus on new technology dedicated to enabling our customers to offer
additional services with ease.”

Through OptimizAIR™ technology, BeamLink leverages the wide 5GHz
spectrum, employing special interference immunity technologies and
selecting available channels on the fly. Up to four TV screens can
receive different and concurrent HD streams with guaranteed quality of
service, consistently and independently of the infrastructure type or
quality of the existing wires in the home. Unique Beam Forming MIMO
technology keeps the radiated energy to a bare minimum across the home
as well as in neighboring apartments – in fact, radiation is only a
small percentage of that induced by other Wi-Fi solutions.
