Coaxsys, DDG Team for CATV Ethernet-over-Coax IP Net
TMCnet VoIP Minute Watch Columnist
IPTV provider Coaxsys and Digital Delivery Group (DDG), a national consortium of CE specialty distributors, announced on Wednesday they teamed up in order to distribute TVnet/C Pro. TVnet/C Pro is a 100Mbps Ethernet-over-Coax system that enables custom integrators to use a home’s existing coaxial cable to simultaneously distribute cable television (CATV), provide video distribution via IP, and enable high-speed IP multimedia networking.
The system works over RG-6 or RG-59 coax, through splitters, and operates in any coax topology, including home-runs or daisy chains. The high-bandwidth network allows 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.
"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," noted David Kaplan, DDG director.
TVnet/C Pro are currently available, and will be one of the first CATV-compatible high-speed home networking systems available to the public through the CI channel. The partnership will allow DDG to distribute the system nationwide. TVnet/C Pro adapters
"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." Matt Bossory, national sales manager at Coaxsys.
Today's news follows Coaxsys' deal with NTS Communications announced last month. The deal enables NTS to deploy TVnet as a "critical component" of its IPTV launch. NTS is a privately held fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) provider who began its IPTV deployments last year. NTS is now using Coaxsys' IPTV 7000 network as well as it deployed Coaxsys' TVnet/AC Ethernet-over-Coax adapter.
