First Transmission Solution App Launched

First Transmission Solution App Launched

  • Jan 30, 2013

 

ComNet, Communication Networks of Danbury, Connecticut, a USA-based manufacturer of fiber optic transmission and networking equipment, introduced its new product selection app for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

The ComNet Fiber Optic & Ethernet Products app is a solution identifier that allows the user to choose the right transmission product for virtually every application. The ComNet app allows the user to search by application or model number. It also gives the user the opportunity to identify media options and the specific benefits of each when choosing products for new or retrofit applications. The ComNet app gives the user access to product datasheets, installation manuals and A&E Specs for the complete line of fiber optic video, data and audio products as well as fiber optic Ethernet and Ethernet over copper extenders. The ComNet app is available at no charge at the App Store.

“The markets ComNet competes in today are continuing to be very fluid. Business today moves quickly,” said Andrew Acquarulo, Jr, ComNet president and COO. “The days of ‘I’ll send a data sheet, and we can review in our next meeting’ are past. Having a mobile app puts our product information in the hands of our customers and sales people much faster, and we believe this gives us a distinct advantage, competing on a day-to-day basis,” concluded Acquarulo.

“To the best of my knowledge, ComNet is the first transmission product manufacturer to offer a mobile app,” said Skip Haight, ComNet VP of marketing. “Our idea from the beginning has always been to position the company as being focused on innovation, be it product, support or how we strive to delight the customer. Being the first to offer a transmission solution app is another way we continue to set the standard for supporting our customers,” Haight continued.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
