To Be Delivered On One Existing Coax Cable Using New Multilet™ Technology
Burlington, Iowa – Winegard Company, a leading manufacturer of video reception and distribution equipment for over 50 years, announced today it has contracted Advanced Media Services to be its exclusive supplier of Triple Play services for Winegard’s new product line using Multilet technology. Winegard’s Triple Play is aimed specifically at Multi-Dwelling Unit owners and managers. Multilet offers MDUs the enormous advantage of networking or retro-fitting entire MDU projects using existing RG-6 coaxial runs, eliminating the necessity to pull additional coax or CAT-5 wire-runs. Under this agreement, AMS will install or retrofit, deliver and service Triple Play PlusTM Video, including DIRECTV or Dish Network programming and Off-Air local broadcasts, Broadband Access (high speed Internet) and Broadband Phone (Voice-over-IP), supporting Winegard’s marketing of the new Multilet Triple Play “Plus” product. Why Plus?
Bob Howell, Director Signal Distribution/Off-Air Antenna Business Group, said “AMS’s QuantumAlertTM proactive web-enabled real-time 24/7 remote management system, monitors the entire MDU IP physical signal distribution network, taking our Triple Play to a whole new level by eliminating IP service quality headache in an MDU installation.”
QuantumAlert is a powerful tool allowing AMS technicians to monitor, manage and troubleshoot MDU system status from signal source, through distribution and amplification, to the subscriber modem. This network management capability allows AMS engineers to achieve optimum performance levels with minimal service disruption, minimizing repair time and costly outages, while maximizing optimum user performance and fast resolution.
Chris Silk, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at AMS states: “We are very pleased to partner with a well known and respected company like Winegard Company to support Multilet with our QuantumAlert state-of-the-art monitoring software, which greatly enhances their Triple Play. We will also supply Winegard with customized Triple Play design options for each property with attractive revenue sharing programs for MDU owners, while delivering guaranteed quality and outstanding customer service providing the necessary peace of mind property managers and owners expect and Winegard requires.”
“Winegard has a tradition in leading the industry with new technology innovation, quality built products and customer service” said Howell, “AMS’s QuantumSpeedTM high speed Broadband Access and QuantumVoiceTM VoIP services have been well received in the industry already and their dedication to quality assurance through their Service Level Guarantee was a very important selection criteria.”
