Hi

Anyone else get this? I believe it may answer someone's question,
unless I'm thinking of the Bristol and Bath Lug.

cheers

Liam,

 

On random chance while Googling, I noticed a posting that you made
regarding Coaxsys Ethernet-over-Coax products and the fact that you
never received a response when you contacted our company.  I would
like to apologize for this and answer the question that you posted
regarding your desire to run up to 100Mbps over coaxial cable.

 

Coaxsys currently has two adapter products for sale that allow
Ethernet-over-Coax distribution: the IPTV 7000 and the TVnet/AC.  BOTH
products are specifically designed to use the entire spectrum of the
coax, which means that you cannot use the adapters both for IP
networking and traditional cable/satellite television.  For this
reason, these products have been deployed predominately by
telecommunications companies that are delivering voice, video (IPTV),
and data all themselves.  If you are looking for an IP network without
a need to maintain compatibility with cable/satellite, the IPTV 7000
will deliver a minimum sustained throughput of 70 Mbps (optimal
network performance of 104Mbps).  The product works exceptionally
well, but it is not designed to be compatible with all things.  The
TVnet/AC has the same technology but is specifically designed for IPTV
delivery with a certain company's IP set-top box.

 

If you do require compatibility with CATV or DBS, you will need to
wait for general availability of our TVnet/C and TVnet/S adapters,
which have been announced by are not yet available for purchase. 
Because we sell to operators (telephone companies, cable operators,
and satellite providers), we do not have retail or consumer-based
channels currently open.  We will soon begin to sell our products
through some VAR channels, but currently the only way for individuals
or companies to purchase small quantities is to purchase through our
distributor, Power & Telephone Supply Company.  And, they only have
the whole-spectrum IPTV 7000 available for purchase currently.

 

I apologize again that you never received a response from our company.
 I hope that this helps to answer some of your questions.  As a small
company with a specific market strategy, we do not currently have the
resources to enter every channel in every market, but I would be
pleased to answer any more questions that you might have.  Might I ask
a favor of you?  How did you attempt to contact Coaxsys (which
email/phone/etc.)?  I would like to make sure that, in the future, we
better respond to people's inquiries.

 

Sincerely,

 

Ted Archer
