Magenta Solutions Launches Corinex Distribution and Reseller Programme

And brings ‘Anywire ConnectivityTM’ networking products to the UK

July 06, 2005 - Press Dispensary - Magenta Solutions (http://www.shopmagenta.com), a York-based online retailer of IT equipment, today announces a distribution agreement and reseller programme to sell the renowned Corinex Communications (http://www.corinex.com) range of networking products in the UK, which are renowned for their Anywire ConnectivityTM.

Ideal for business users and, in particular, the hotel industry, Corinex products enable internet connectivity over existing mains, coaxial and phone lines and provide a viable alternative to WIFI for distributing high-speed video, data or telephone functionality throughout a building.

Thanks to Corinex’s advances in networking, the customer’s existing wiring/cable is turned into high-speed backbones capable of supporting low-jitter, high-bandwidth digital video streams. By using technologies such as HPNA 3.0 and AV Powerline, bandwidths of 128Mbps and 200Mbps are achieved without the need for any new wiring.

Catering for the broadband market, Corinex offers the largest product portfolio of Powerline (HomePlug) products in the world, which also transmit data through the customer’s existing electrical wiring. The range includes desktop and wall mount adapters, routers, wireless B and G products and network management software.

Additionally, Corinex is leading the price performance range in the IP telephony market. Its high-performance VoIP products give customers a variety of affordable yet powerful methods for making voice calls over the internet. For example, the Corinex Internet VideoPhone sells for a RRP of just 62.35 GBP.

Magenta Solutions’ newly signed agreement with Corinex will see the introduction of its comprehensive product set to the UK market: The full product range and specifications can be viewed at http://www.shopmagenta.com/stores/corinexshop.aspx.

Norbert Benko, director of sales for EMEA, Corinex, comments: ‘Our relationship with Magenta Solutions gives Corinex a young but mature partner in the UK market. With Magenta’s distribution channel and reseller programme, we can take the benefits of Anywire ConnectivityTM to an even wider range of resellers and end users.’

Chris Smales, technical director at Magenta Solutions, comments: ‘We expect demand for Corinex products to be high as they allow the customer to tap into their existing wiring – without the need for expensive installations throughout the building. This cuts complexity and cost and means that data, voice and video services can quickly be distributed to the rooms where they are needed most.’

Magenta is running a reseller programme with attractive profit margins. Reseller accounts can be set up within 24 hours and vendors benefit from bulk discounts that help them tap into a potentially explosive market for Corinex products.
