iQhome to Include Global Caché Products with Security and Control Systems

Jacksonville, OR - April 14, 2005 - the award winning provider of products that enable technology in homes and businesses, announced today it has begun selling products through iQhome. iQhome is a full service security, control, and communication distributor, and the exclusive reseller of the Cytech Comfort system, a highly integrated security and home control solution based on open systems.

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), allowing them to be controlled using IP-based software. Global Caché also supplies IR learning devices, IR receivers, and sensors for use over networks. iQhome distributes products focused on home security, control and communication to dealers and installers in the Australian market, including fully tested, complete system solutions.

“We’re very pleased that iQhome has chosen to resell our products in Australia. Their market knowledge, experience, and established relationships with system integrators and installers, as well as their ability to sell a complete solution, makes them a really great partner for us,” said Robin Ford, Global Caché VP of Business Development. “This alliance will enable us to better serve the Australian market and address a new market segment.”

“Global Caché products are a perfect fit into our current home automation solutions, and integrating them into our new eLife touchscreen home controller makes our systems even more cost-effective and versatile. The fact that the iQhome home automation solutions and Global Caché products are based on open systems enables us to make this addition in a seamless and simple manner. We know our system integrators are going to love it,” said Ian Clarke, iQhome Technical Director.
