Westell's Home Monitoring Application Selected for Display at The Cable Center

AURORA, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Westell Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of broadband products, gateways and conferencing services, has been selected to feature their new home monitoring and control solution at The Cable Center's 2008-2009 Cable Today and Tomorrow exhibit. Westell's application, which allows users to remotely monitor their home as well as control lighting, appliances, and other devices, is one of a small, exclusive group chosen for display.

"The Cable Center's Cable Today and Tomorrow exhibit features some of today's most innovative companies and demonstrates the industry's commitment to continuous technological advancement, something we believe Westell exemplifies with their solution for home monitoring and control," said Larry Satkowiak, president and chief executive officer of The Cable Center.

In the exhibit, Westell demonstrates how the company's UltraLine(R) Series3 Gateway combines multiple technologies to enable remote monitoring over high-speed cable service. The always-on service allows cameras, lighting, and images to be viewed and controlled through a screen on any internet-connected device. These capabilities can be extended from general consumer use to a wide range of applications, such as in-home health care, energy management, and security services.

"We believe that this solution represents not only an advance in home networking and broadband communications, but also in providing convenience, security, and peace of mind to the consumer," said Westell's Vice President of Business Development, Muckai Girish. "Westell is pleased to display these capabilities at the Cable Today and Tomorrow exhibit."
