Vyyo Announces 'Certified Compatible' Program; Hunt Technologies Products Selected for Inclusion5 February 2006
Vyyo Inc. (Nasdaq: VYYO), a global supplier of broadband access equipment for cable and private wireless broadband network solutions, today announced the creation of a new program designed to ensure successful implementation of multi-vendor wireless solutions that include Vyyo products.
The "Vyyo Certified Compatible" program has been designed to offer additional assurance to utility customers that specific products have been tested and certified as interoperable with Vyyo wireless utility solution products. Hunt Technologies' TS1 AMR solution is the latest to earn inclusion in the program.
"Vyyo Certified Compatible" status assures that utilities using the TS1 system can seamlessly incorporate the system's power line carrier-based automated meter reading (AMR) functionality in conjunction with the high- speed, real-time connectivity of the Vyyo broadband wireless solution.
"To achieve maximum efficiency, utility providers require monitoring solutions that bring together best-of-breed products," said Mike Ritter, Ph.D., chief technology officer and senior vice president of marketing for Vyyo. "Our ability to certify interoperability with the Hunt TS1 system increases the value of our wireless solution by providing our customers with the pre-tested flexible monitoring and control they need."
"At Hunt Technologies we strive to align ourselves with companies that can meet the high expectations of our customers," said Mark Kodet, vice president of operations for Hunt Technologies. "Vyyo's ability to replace costly third- party telephone circuits with constant, high-speed wireless connections helps our customers get more value from our TS1 AMR system."
Vyyo's end-to-end wireless solution for utility providers combines 700 MHz licensed spectrum with the company's V3000 Broadband Wireless Hub and compatible modems to provide greater efficiency by replacing legacy dial-up monitoring with cost-effective high-speed wireless data services. Vyyo's technology is designed to enable accurate, current assessment of consumption, allowing the reduction of excess power generation or reallocation of power generation. In addition, the Vyyo solution is designed to allow utility customers to generate additional revenues using the same technology by providing high-speed Internet services to rural commercial and residential subscribers.
