Suttle Announces New MediaMAX(TM) Brand MINNEAPO

MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwired - Jul 24, 2014) - Suttle, a wholly owned subsidiary of Communications Systems, Inc. ( NASDAQ : JCS ), introduces MediaMAX ^™ , our new brand for reliable connectivity inside the premise. MediaMAX ^™ products offer solutions to meet the growing need for wired and wireless high-speed, high-quality triple play connectivity to all areas of the home and small office, while lowering total cost of ownership.

George Wakileh, Suttle Global Vice President of Technology and Business Development explains, "At Suttle we understand that to deliver the Truly Connected Home , service providers need flexible premise connectivity options for greenfield and brownfield deployments that not only lower service turn-up time, but also TCO (total cost of ownership). Suttle has reimagined premise connectivity and distribution for wired and wireless high-speed deployments with the new MediaMAX ^™ brand. The MediaMAX ^™ platform includes premise connectivity and distribution system, featuring: a plastic modular enclosures system; a high-speed quick-connect copper connectivity; a quick-connect fiber connectivity; and an intelligent wall plate system with medium agnostic connectivity for fiber, copper, powerline G.hn, and wireless. MediaMAX™ is designed to optimize installation cost and practice while maximizing coverage and bandwidth at the point of use for multiple deployment topologies."

"With an evolving ecosystem and competitive landscape, MediaMAX™ gives service providers a competitive edge as it lowers TCO and leverages existing infrastructure," said Bruce Blackwood, Suttle President and General Manager.

The MediaMAX ^™ Premise Distribution System is designed to accommodate the growing demand for secure housings that protect Residential Gateways, next generation ONTs and Battery Backup systems within new or existing media panels and in close proximity to traditional premise cable media panels. Additionally, MediaMAX ^™ enclosures are compatible with the Suttle SOHO Access ^™ product line.
