SMC is Ready to Show Its Hand with a Full House of New Home Security, Monitoring and Automation Products at NCTA


IRVINE, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

SMC Networks (News - Alert), a leading global provider of Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) for the complete digital home, is set to introduce its new Veloxite™ gateways and Oaziss™ Home Security, Monitoring and Automation (HSMA) solutions at The Cable Show 2013, June 10 - 12 in Washington, DC.

Show attendees will have the opportunity to learn about SMC's new leadership comprised of seasoned industry veterans as well as the company's new vision that includes innovating products to open expanded market opportunities for its customers.

On hand at The Cable Show will be SMC's EVP & COO Joe Wytanis. "SMC is very excited to re-introduce our company to the nation's leading innovators of digital content, products and services," says Wytanis. "SMC will be introducing this audience to our latest generation of solutions that will expand cable operators' value proposition with new products and services."

At the heart of the Oaziss HSMA product line is SMC's revolutionary Aegis 3G touch screen, the latest generation of the industry's first home control center launched for MSOs more than two years ago. Featuring a 7-inch capacitive color touch screen, 3G cellular connection, Wi-Fi and ZigBee®, a compact form factor, front facing camera, stereo headphone jack, and a 24-hour bck-up battery, the Aegis 3G is an all-in-one wireless command center for remotely controlling a home's complete security, monitoring and automation features.

"We've built the Aegis 3G on our experience selling and deploying nearly one hundred thousand units of our previous touch screen products, including the industry's first touch screen," explains Wytanis. "Our technology just keeps getting better."

Using the Aegis 3G, home owners will have touch-control of an array of new sensors also from SMC, including:


  • CO sensor with 10-year life
  • Glass Break sensor that meets UL639
  • Motion Detector with 50-100 lb selectable pet immunity
  • Lower cost smoke alarm and new "alarm-less" smoke detector

All sensors feature smaller, lighter and sleeker footprints as well as excellent coverage even for very large homes, thanks to the Siren Repeater peripheral. An added advantage to homeowners and the cable operators and MSOs who service them, the Aegis can also be used with existing home security hardware - saving homeowners from having to purchase and rewire new systems.

Wytanis and other SMC leadership will be performing live demonstrations of the new Veloxite, Oaziss and Aegis products during The Cable Show at booth # 3915. All attendees are welcome to stop by to see the new products in action.
