San Jose, CA - August 4, 2004 - Global Caché, the award winning provider of products that enable technology in homes and businesses announced today that it will begin selling the complete line of Global Caché products, including the acclaimed GC-100 Network Adapter, through Homemation, a leading South African home technology distributor. Global Caché’s hardware addresses the growing number of homes with high-bandwidth Internet and networking capability and enables the use of network-based software to control and automate diverse devices throughout the home. Homemation focuses on delivering leading edge, technology lifestyle products to South African and African markets.

Global Caché's GC-100 Network Adapter is a hardware product designed to IP-enable devices and appliances that otherwise could not be connected to a network, bringing Ethernet connectivity to infrared (IR) devices, serial (RS232) devices, and relay switches (contact closure) so they can be controlled using IP-based software. Global Caché also supplies IR learning devices, IR receivers, sensors, and other connectivity devices for use over a network.

Walt Keller, Global Caché President, said, "We are very impressed with Homemation's focus on providing leading edge products that are reliable and cost effective, their attention to customer service, their on-site engineering, and their extensive experience in the home automation/control market.
