Comtrend delivers 590,000 PLC solutions for Europe in 2007
Comtrend Corporation, a network solutions manufacturer and broadband, VoIP and data networks technologies specialist, has announced the delivery of 590,000 200-Mbps PLC Ethernet adapters, the PowerGrid DH-10PF, by the end of 2007. The solutions will be supplied to the English, Spanish and Portuguese markets respectively, making Comtrend the first international manufacturer capable of delivering such a high volume of PLC Ethernet adapters.
These results reinforce Comtrend Corporation's development in the European market. Comtrend has been an active player in Europe since 2001 and has steadily carved itself a position in the Southern European markets. Since 2002, over 3 million Comtrend access equipment units featuring cutting-edge network technologies have been delivered to this area.
In 2006, Comtrend Corporation also opened an office in Central Europe and confirmed its development in several countries within Northern Europe.
Developed in partnership with DS2, a PLC solutions specialist, Comtrend's PowerGrid DH-10PF establishes broadband home networks for sharing data, sound and high-definition TV content. In compliance with the 200-Mbps PLC standard supported by the UPA (Universal Powerline Association), to which Comtrend and DS2 belong, the DS2 PLC technology built into the PowerGrid DH-10PF helps to provide a solution cutting out dead spots, while delivering the speed and quality of service required for distributing video throughout the home.
"We are pleased to see that our technological choices have confirmed that our development strategy is heading in the right direction. Over the next few months, we are intending to establish our position in dedicated technologies for the residential market," advises Harold Fitch, General Manager of Comtrend Europe and South America.
"European operators are moving in increasingly competitive markets. Comtrend Corporation has helped such players by offering highly sophisticated volume solutions. Our solutions are a clear response to the demands for reliability and cost-effectiveness laid down by our European partners," adds Harold Fitch.
