as published by http://www.prnewswire.com
DIRECTV Users Can Connect to Their Telephone Through the Standard
Electrical
Outlets in Homes
SALT LAKE
CITY, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Phonex Broadband(TM) Corporation a world
leader in Power Line Carrier (PLC) voice and data communication devices,
today announced that DIRECTV, Inc. provider of the nation's leading
digital television service with more than 12 million customers, has
approved the use of the Wireless Phone Jack for Modems with their set
top boxes.
DIRECTV
set top boxes require a land-based phone line connection to enable pay-per-view
orders via remote control. The Wireless Phone Jack creates a
phone connection by using the electrical outlets in a home. The base
is placed near an existing phone connection and plugged into the electrical
outlet. It then transmits the phone signal to a receiver at another
electrical outlet and eliminates the need to run wiring to the DIRECTV
set top
box. "We are proud to have DIRECTV approve our Wireless Phone Jacks
for Modems for use in their set top box installations," Said John
Knab, CEO Phonex Broadband. "We provide a simple solution for the
DIRECTV phone connection. By using our products, users and installers
can set up a phone jack near the television within minutes, saving time
and trouble." The Wireless Phone Jack device has two variations:
The Wireless Phone Jack is used for standard voice phone service. The
Wireless Jack for Modems offers Caller ID and improved modem performance.
The products are available
through several OEMs and are found on retail shelves under the RCA,
GE, Southwestern Bell, Phonex, and Belkin brand names.
