<strong>AZTECH</strong> <strong>200Mbps</strong> <strong>HOMEPLUG</strong> <strong>FOR</strong> <strong>SINGTEL</strong> <strong>IPTV</strong><br />
Singapore, 20 Aug 2007 – Singapore Stock Exchange Main Board Listed Aztech Systems Ltd<br />
(“Aztech”), a data and voice communications solutions provider is pleased that its latest <strong>200Mbps</strong><br />
HomePlug is the preferred choice for networking product powering SingTel’s Internet Protocol<br />
Television (“<strong>IPTV</strong>”) service. Stamping another key milestone for the powerline adapter product<br />
range, the contract win is its first local HomePlug order, and is for 10,000 pairs (20,000 units) to<br />
power the next generation of digital entertainment that SingTel is providing to homeowners.<br />
Aztech is honoured to partner SingTel yet again, stemming from a relationship that started almost<br />
8 years ago when the Group provided ADSL modems.<br />
<strong>IPTV</strong> is primarily a digital television service delivered by a broadband<br />
connection. With SingTel’s offering named mio TV, users watch<br />
television programmes streamed from the Internet direct to the<br />
television set via a set-top box. Unlike other services which require<br />
customers to be tied to programme schedules and rigid basic tier<br />
packages, mio TV allows subscribers full flexibility to watch what they<br />
want, when they want. Other key benefits include features like full High<br />
Definition Content, with full interactivity to carry out scheduled recording<br />
of programmes.<br />
Due to the demanding requirement of high speed and consistent data<br />
transfer speeds required, the HomePlug technology is the best and<br />
easiest solution to set up an <strong>IPTV</strong> connection via Powerline<br />
communications. Plugging a pair of Aztech’s <strong>200Mbps</strong> HomePlug into<br />
any existing power socket, homeowners enjoy the ease of streaming Internet video to different<br />
parts of the home, without having to run unsightly cables to link the broadband connection to the<br />
<strong>IPTV</strong> set-top box.<br />
Aztech CEO and Chairman, Michael Mun<br />
comments, “The Plug & Play use of<br />
HomePlug removes the hassle and<br />
inconvenience of laying cables throughout<br />
a home in order to stream high speed data<br />
packets. With the use of power lines, they<br />
are further guaranteed the consistent<br />
speeds that <strong>IPTV</strong> demands, while enjoying<br />
their <strong>IPTV</strong> in any part of the house, without<br />
worrying about how and where their<br />
Internet networking is set up.”<br />
