December 11, 2006—Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America’s
Imaging Products Division today announced its membership in
the Retail Broadband Alliance to make it easier for customers
to use and integrate their digital imaging products through
broadband and related applications.
The
Retail Broadband Alliance, an industry consortium that
brings together companies that represent products and services
used in the entire retail sales supply chain for data networks,
was formed in 2004 by New Edge Networks, a wholly owned
subsidiary of EarthLink Inc. (NASDAQ: ELNK).
Mitsubishi
Digital Electronics America’s membership in the Retail
Broadband Alliance will give its customers access to a wide
range of proven and emerging broadband technologies. It will
also expand the company’s distribution outlets to include
other member companies, as there are currently more than
225 member companies in the Retail Broadband Alliance.
Working
together, Retail Broadband Alliance member companies develop
awareness programs that help both merchants and other member
companies learn of new certified solutions, technology options
and how to maximize value from new virtual private networks
or VPNs.
“Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America and New Edge
Networks each bring to the table established brand names
and a reputation for reliable, durable solutions,” said
Margie Chiaramonte, marketing manager for Mitsubishi Digital
Electronics America’s Imaging Products Division. “The
Retail Broadband Alliance is a beneficial strategy for all
its member brands, enabling each company to refer the other
to its clients as a recommended source. As a result, this
referral capability allows us to expand our customers’ options
as well.”
Paul Salzinger, director of business development for New Edge Networks added,
“New Edge Networks welcomes Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America into
the growing Retail Broadband Alliance. Mitsubishi represents yet another trusted
choice for merchants who turn to the Retail Broadband Alliance for support in
migrating to broadband and maximizing its value.”
Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America is a subsidiary
of Mitsubishi Electric and offers a variety of products
including digital photo printers for professional photographers,
photofinishing kiosk systems for use at retail outlets,
medical imaging printers for medical technicians, and digital
video recorders for the security market.
Vancouver, Wash.-based New Edge Networks designs, builds,
and manages private broadband networks for businesses.
High-speed broadband networks help businesses grow revenue,
cut expenses and improve overall client services. New VPNs
can provide three times the speed for about half the cost
of traditional wide area networks.
