Unipalm, a COMPUTERLINKS Company, to Distribute Global Caché Products in the UK and Ireland

Jacksonville, OR USA - February 7, 2006 - Global Caché, the award winning provider of IP-enabling products for homes and businesses, announced today it has signed IP-based solution provider, Unipalm, to sell and support Global Caché products in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Global Caché’s flagship product, the GC-100 Network Adapter, is 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.

Unipalm, a COMPUTERLINKS company, is the UK and Ireland's foremost specialist distributor of Internet technology solutions. For channel partners implementing intelligent network environments and integrated, scalable security systems, Unipalm offers a single point of expertise and assistance.

COMPUTERLINKS also has a presence in North America.

“Partnering with Unipalm to represent us in the UK and Ireland is an important event for us,” said Robin Ford, Global Caché VP of Business Development. “Unipalm has the channel commitment, the reach, and the support structure to take us the next step in penetrating the business and residential markets that we both serve. The fact that they are owned by COMPUTERLINKS offers even more opportunities for growth into the rest of the European market. Europe is an important market to us and we are very excited to be aligning ourselves with the leading distributor of IP based solutions in their market. This is a really good development for us and our international customers.”

John Turner, Head of Multi Media Networking for Unipalm concurred, saying, “We believe that Global Caché’s line of IP-enabling products is going to be an important part of our IP-enabling offering. Their ability to connect previously isolated devices like DVD players to a network is a huge bonus for our Automation and Control solutions aimed at both business and residential markets. The simplicity, and flexible design of the GC-100 Network Adapter, as well as the very competitive pricing, is going to be incredibly attractive to our channel.”
