Global Caché and M+ Integration Form Alliance

M+ and Global Caché team up to provide plug-and-play solutions for home automation

San Jose, CA - September 30, 2003 - Global Caché, an award winning manufacturer of products that enable technology in the home, and M+ Integration, a developer and marketer of software-based home network control solutions and enabling tools, announced today they have signed a strategic alliance agreement. According to the agreement, the companies will work together closely to provide compatible and optimized products to their customers.

Global Caché's GC-100 Home Network Adapter connects home networks to infrared (IR), serial (TVs and DVDs), and relay (lighting and pool/spa) devices, allowing them to be accessed and managed simply and inexpensively by network-based software. M+ Complete Home is a flexible, dynamic, expandable wireless home control and monitoring system. It is easy to install, is secure, and grows with the user. Using a unique, user profile-driven Dynamic Imaging feature users can add or change features whenever they want.

"The team here at M+ is committed to providing a very high-end solution at an affordable price," said Joe Storm, President of M+. "Our M+ Complete Home software delivers on that commitment and more. Teaming up with Global Caché was a no-brainer for us. We immediately recognized that they are delivering on the same promise that we are, with cost-effective hardware at an affordable price. Combining our products to deliver a complete and easy to use home control solution makes all the sense in the world."

"We're very pleased to be partnering with M+," said Walt Keller, Global Caché President. "Our GC-100 Home Network Adapter is designed to connect a home network to common household devices, and we are reliant on software like M+ Complete Home to provide the home automation and control intelligence to get the job done. The M+ software is a great product and we are really looking forward to working with their team."

The Global Caché GC-100 Home Network Adapter and M+ Complete Home system are currently shipping and have been optimized for compatibility.
