San Jose, CA - March 18, 2003 - Global Caché, a provider of products that enable technology in homes, announced today that it has begun selling the Global Caché GC-100 Home Network Adapter through Home Controls, a national distributor of home automation equipment and winner of the Home Automation Association's Mark of Excellence Awards. Global Caché's hardware addresses the growing number of homes with high-bandwidth Internet and networking capability and enables the use of PC-based software to control and automate diverse devices throughout the home, eliminating the need for costly and complex proprietary systems. Additionally, the Global Caché GC-100 replaces the current requirement to piggyback different devices from several vendors with one easy to use product.

"Home Controls is focused on providing the best solutions available to homeowners interested in extending the conveniences inside their homes to include control of lighting, appliances, entertainment components, temperature, pool/spa, communication, security, and more," said Ken Kerr, President of Home Controls. "Global Caché's new Home Network Adapter helps us to achieve this very simply and inexpensively by providing a product that is easy to install and use and is cost-effective." Kerr went on to add, "Usually one Global Caché device replaces the need to purchase several more expensive products. This is a real benefit to our customers."

"We're pleased that Home Controls is representing our product, offering technical expertise and support to homeowners interested in automating and controlling their homes," said Robin Ford, Global Cache's VP of Business Development.
