ComNet Adds New North American Strategic Partner

Jun 27, 2011

ComNet, a manufacturer of fiber optic transmission and networking equipment, has been approved by Code Blue of Holland, Mich. to supply fiber optic media converters and EoVDSL modems (Ethernet over Very High Digital Subscriber Link) for use with its line of IP-compatible phones and emergency call boxes. Code Blue turned to ComNet for its product quality, scope of products, ease of use and level of customer support. The products are unique in that they are manufactured in the U.S.

“By approving ComNet, Code Blue will now be able to provide their customers with an easily implemented and reliable solution to extend the transmission distances of its products through fiber optic, coaxial cable, and twisted copper media. As many of Code Blue’s products utilize Ethernet for local and wide area network transmission, methods to extend transmission distances through legacy and newly deployed transmission media become a necessity,” said Bruce M. Berman, ComNet vice president for new business development.

“Code Blue had been seeking a partner to provide a method of extending the usable distance between our devices, and ComNet proved to be the right choice for the solution,” said Mick Doran, Code Blue product development manager.
