TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - April 09, 2015) - ViXS Systems Inc. (
For the North American market, MDSG is manufacturing systems with the XConnex EoC chipset for installations into Multiple Dwelling Units (MDUs), apartments, or condominiums in cooperation with target service providers, such as Comcast, Charter, and Verizon. Further targets include the deployment of managed IP services within the hospitality segment for international hotel brands such as Marriott, Hyatt, and Hilton. Outside of North America, MDS Global, and ViXS are leveraging their existing integrator and reseller channels to sell white label/ODM system solutions and Manufacturing Development Kits (MDK's).
ViXS' XConnex EoC family of chips enable high-speed broadband access and managed IP services over new or existing coaxial networks. The XConnex EoC chipset family, coupled with MDS' system designs, bring new dimensions to the EoC market reducing deployment and operational costs by up to 50% through shorter installation time, reduced capital expenses, and lower maintenance costs. This EoC solution leverages years of ViXS R&D and MDSG market experience together to deliver robust operation and unique software upgradability, and specifically addresses deficiencies in competing solutions.
"MDS Global is thrilled to be part of this trial with several major vendors in the MDU and hospitality market," said Jim Luciano, Managing Director, MDS Global Technologies. "ViXS has been a great partner to work with, and these trials further solidify and extend our relationship."
"These customer lab trials are an important validation stage for our product family. Certification by these labs opens the door to rapid acceptance in the hospitality segment, and service operator market and is a significant milestone," said John Pomeroy, VP Sales, Cloud & CPE at VIXS systems. "We are confident that the ViXS XConnex EoC based solution from MDS Global will exceed expectations in these trials, and we look forward to announcing more EoC customers throughout 2015 and into next year."
