`A Coaxial-based Broadband Delivery Solution for the US Hospitality Industry,' New White Paper from coaXmedia, Now Available Online.Business Editors ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 2003 coaXmedia today announced the publication of a new white paper discussing its unique "On-Premise Ethernet over Coax" technology solution for enabling robust high-speed internet See broadband. access (HSIA Hsia (shēä), semilegendary first dynasty of China, which ruled, according to traditional dates, from c.2205 B.C. to c.1766 B.C. or, according to some modern scholars, from c.1994 B.C. to c.1523 B.C. ) in hotels. Broadband access See broadband and wireless broadband. is rapidly evolving from an amenity to a fundamental requirement for the business traveler, and coaXmedia is at the forefront of the efforts to enable ubiquitous availability of high-speed Internet access in the hospitality segment. Hotel owners and franchisees no longer need to sift through a complex array of technology solutions. The coaXmedia Series 6100 Broadband Gateway, SandDollar access appliance and Wireless Access Point combine to provide a complete HSIA access package. The solution enables the hotelier to provide a guest with broadband access, anywhere in a hotel, in a way that is economically viable for the hotel, the Internet service provider Internet service provider (ISP) Company that provides Internet connections and services to individuals and organizations. For a monthly fee, ISPs provide computer users with a connection to their site (see data transmission), as well as a log-in name and password. and the guest.

Thomas J. Mitchell was born in Dublin in 1931. and Don Davis The name Don Davis may refer to one of the following people:
-- Discusses an alternate approach to the delivery of broadband services to the hospitality industry -- Describes the available technologies for broadband delivery within the hospitality industry -- Provides an overview of the coaXmedia "Ethernet over Coax" solution which is particularly suited for retrofit applications -- Concludes with a discussion of system implementations and a brief introduction to the coaXmedia network management system. "The deployment of broadband data service requires an adequate infrastructure from the head end, central office, ISP (1) See in-system programmable. (2) (Internet Service Provider) An organization that provides access to the Internet. Connection to the user is provided via dial-up, ISDN, cable, DSL and T1/T3 lines. , etc. all the way to the subscriber's PC. From the side of the building, the 'last yard' delivery technologies include wireless, CAT5, other twisted pair A thin-diameter wire (22 to 26 gauge) commonly used for telephone and network cabling. The wires are twisted around each other to minimize interference from other twisted pairs in the cable (Alexander Graham Bell invented this and was awarded a patent for it in 1881). solutions, and the like. Coaxial cable is available in nearly every hotel room," said Don Davis, vice president of engineering and technical support. "The prevalence coax cable along with its superior intrinsic bandwidth makes it an ideal candidate for delivering high-speed data to the client PC without the cost of rewiring."

About the coaXmedia, Inc. coaXmedia, Inc. provides a breakthrough solution for providing high-speed Internet access to hotels utilizing the existing coaxial television wiring in a building. coaXmedia's field-proven, patented technology provides cost-effective alternative to Ethernet, cable modems, DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary and wireless broadband in the hotel segments. An innovative retrofit solution, the coaXmedia HSIA System solutions operate without rewiring the existing in-building coaxial cable and without the requirement to install Cat5 wiring, thereby reducing the time and costs for installation, ownership, maintenance and expansion. The coaXmedia system, which is connection agnostic to the Internet, supports all typical Ethernet backhaul connections (T1, wireless, cable, DSL, fiber), is simple to install and support. Hotel owners and operators will generate new revenue opportunities by providing plug and play, added value services for their guests. coaXmedia is a privately funded company in Duluth, Georgia, just north of Atlanta.
