Teledex Wins 2004 Editors' Choice Award
at IH/M&RS for ExpressNet® AirLink
.
AirLink Voted Best New Technbology Product at
Annual Trade Show and Conference
New York, NY - November 16, 2004 --- Teledex announced today at the 2004 International Hotel/Motel and Restaurant Show that it has won the prestigious Editors' Choice Award for Best New Technology Product for its innovative ExpressNet AirLink high-speed Internet access solution. Over 130 entries in six categories competed for top honors at this annual trade show and conference, the industry's largest such event. The awards were announced during grand opening ceremonies held just before the opening of this three-day event in New York City.

Utilizing existing phone wiring (Cat3) infrastructure and VDSL (very-high-bit-rate digital subscriber line) transport technology, ExpressNet AirLink allows any lodging property to simultaneously deploy both wireless and wired HSIA in a very cost-effective manner. The innovative, tri-mode AirLink ExpressPort can function in a combination of three different configurations: 1) as an ultra-fast 802.11g wireless access point, delivering 54 Mbps of bandwidth; 2) as a wireless Ethernet client (also referred to as a wireless "bridge"), which provides a convenient plug-in connection to a wireless network for users who are not wireless-enabled; and 3) a hard-wired VDSL converter that delivers blazing connection speeds over conventional telephone wiring.
The transport technology to the AirLink wireless access points is VDSL, which delivers a tested consistent throughput of over 10 Mbps over existing Cat3 phone wiring, and in many common operating conditions is quite capable of sustaining throughputs of 15 to 20 Mbps. These blazing speeds are more than sufficient to deliver and manage the broadband-dependent content and services popular today with the hospitality industry, while helping to keep infrastructure costs under control.

Comments Dean Compoginis, director of marketing for Teledex, "We're honored to receive this prestigious award for AirLink, and and welcome the attention this innovative high-speed Internet access solution is receiving here at the IHMRS show. AirLink is truly a groundbreaking new product and technology, combining for the very first time an 802.11g wireless access point, a wireless bridge, and an ultra-fast VDSL converter in one compact package that tucks neatly underneath Teledex guestroom telephones. What's more, because ExpressNet uses existing Cat2/3 phone wiring to deliver blazing fast access speeds, in the range of 15-20 Mbps, there's no expensive and disruptive recabling necessary to provide best-in-class service that enables new revenue-generating content and services to the guestroom."
