uniView Technologies Introduces the Linux Based uniView 110; uniView Expanded Product Offering to Include Entry Level Set Top Box
DALLAS, Feb 24, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- uniView Technologies Corp.
(Nasdaq: UVEW), a market leader in the field of interactive broadband services
and innovative connectivity solutions, announced today the introduction of its
new entry level set top box, model uniView(R) 110, which runs on the Linux
operating system (OS).
This latest expansion of the uniView set top box product line helps the company
address the growing demand for cost effective Internet appliances. The Linux
based uniView 110 is specifically designed to address the requirements of the
multilevel marketing business.
"The uniView 110 set top box utilizes the Linux platform and was created in a
joint effort with specific marketing companies. The feature set and price point
of the uniView 110 were the primary issues in addressing the needs of our
multilevel marketing customer base," said Patrick Custer, President of uniView
Technologies Corp. "Even though the 110 is positioned to be an entry level
product, it offers robust features such as smart card security management, home
banking applications, a fully featured browser which supports plug-ins for audio
and video, e-mail, SSL 3.0 compliant technology, a built-in microphone, printing
capability, a simple user interface, open ISP model and a new compact size."
"The uniView 110 was developed to provide a versatile platform with an easily
modified graphic user interface, allowing for multiple uses, in multiple
markets. Even though the platform provides for 'open' connectivity, uniView
anticipates supplying the ISP service, as well as maintaining portal sites for
e-commerce transactions," said Tom O'Mara, President of the uniView Products
Group. "This new approach should dramatically increase our annuity income due to
the large target market of multilevel marketing organizations. A large sales
force is inherent to most multilevel marketing organizations and the
acceptability of these types of products is greatly enhanced by the one on one
sales concept."
Dallas based uniView Technologies Corp. has four business units: Advanced
Systems Group, Network America, uniView Softgen and the Products Group. This
unique architecture of key companies offer competencies and expertise creating
solutions in video on demand, set top box products, interactive broadband
connectivity, computer telephony integration software, and overall e-business
solutions. The companies market their products and services both domestically
and internationally focusing on multi-level marketing, hospitality, utilities,
banking, telecommunications and fortune 1,000 companies. More information on
