Harmonic Data Systems to unveil new category of consumer Internet appliance at CeBIT 2000 02/09/2000 M2 PRESSWIRE Copyright 2000 M2 Communications, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Harmonic Data Systems (HDS), a subsidiary of Harmonic Inc. (Nasdaq: HLIT ), will be demonstrating a market-first at this year's CeBIT 2000 exhibition - a broadband DVB compliant Internet-over-TV appliance. This device is targeted at the consumer market that is eager to embrace the Internet without having to invest in a PC. The device is designed to deliver fast Internet access to the home using a domestic television set as the viewing platform. By utilising existing broadband networks, whether satellite or cable, to deliver the high-speed access, this new product exploits the growth in bandwidth-intensive multimedia content coming on-stream - graphically rich entertainment and educational content, streamed video and audio or even online interactive programming. Live demonstrations of this breakthrough end-user Internet product will be taking place on the ASTRA stand during CeBIT 2000, on Stand D24 in Hall 25 of the Hanover Deutsche Messe. This will also include a live demonstration of Harmonic Data Systems' complete end-to-end fast Internet solution, from the Data Gateway uplink to a variety of end user devices including PC receiver cards, external PC receivers and the new Internet-over-TV device. In addition spokespeople from Harmonic Data Systems will be available for in-depth interview opportunities.
