Jacksonville,
OR and Santa Clara, CA – March 21, 2006 – Global
Caché, the award-winning manufacturer of IP-enabling products,
and Niveus Media, manufacturer of media entertainment devices for the
high-end audio/video market, announced today they have signed an agreement
that provides the framework for the two companies to collaborate on
marketing and assures product compatibility.
Global Caché's GC-100 Network Adapter allows common household
devices to be connected to a network and controlled via network-based
software. In addition, Global Caché provides products for learning
infrared (IR) codes, extending IR functions over a network, and sensors
and specialized connectivity products. The Niveus Media Center product
line, recently recognized by Popular Science as the ‘Best of What’s
New for 2005’, offers a high fidelity audio and video experience,
including movies, music, photos, games & more.
“Partnering up with Global Caché assures our customers
of seamless product compatibility and provides them with the ability
to connect previously un-networked devices to the Niveus Media Center,”
said Brian Paper, VP Marketing for Niveus Media. “This opens up
exciting new market opportunities for our customer base, including cost-effective
entertainment automation, as well as whole-house control. The agreement
furthers our goal of delivering full services and features on the Niveus
Media Center.”
“We’re
very enthusiastic about this new alliance with Niveus,” said Robin
Ford, Global Caché’s VP of Business Development. “With
the convergence of the IT and consumer electronic markets, and the current
migration in the digital home market to open standards-based systems
from high-cost proprietary systems, this kind of alliance is essential.
Our respective customers can be assured that our products work well
together and they have the choice in best-of-breed products.”
