Global Caché to Participate in NextGen Demonstration Home

The GC-100 Home Network Adapter to enable connectivity in NextGen Home in Las Vegas at CES

San Jose, CA - December 19, 2002 - Global Caché announced today that the GC-100 Home Network Adapter will be included as part of the connected home solution in the NextGen Demonstration Home being built in the Stardust Hotel parking lot in Las Vegas, NV. The demo home, which is scheduled to premier during the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January 2003, will demonstrate that smart and efficient homes can be built for the typical homebuyer, not just the wealthy.

The Global Caché GC-100 Home Network Adapter enables the use of network-based software to control and automate diverse devices such as audio/video equipment, automated curtains and blinds, and other common household appliances found in the home. Using the GC-100, all infrared, serial and relay devices can be simply and affordably connected to a home network.

"We're pleased to have Global Cache's products in this groundbreaking demonstration home," said Paul Barnett, iShow CEO. "The GC-100 Home Network Adapter is an essential part of connecting the homes' devices to the software that runs it, and helps us to achieve our goal of providing leading-edge connectivity at a price that the common homeowner can afford."

"We are very excited about being part of this project," said Robin Ford, VP of Business Development at Global Caché. "Seeing is believing, and we think the idea of actually building an affordable home using the latest in home technology is the best tool ever in getting the message out there that connected, efficient, automated homes are available for everyone. This is no longer a vision for the future, but is working today."

Look for Global Caché at the Lantronix booth No. 25199 during CES in Las Vegas on January 9th through the 12th.
