Press Release Body = Burgess Hill, UK, February 1, 2007 - Technetix Group, European
leader in developing and supplying networking solutions, secured three prestigious
awards with their unique Adapt-x solution at the IIPSEC show in Coventry.

IIPSEC 2007 International IP in Security Exhibition and Conference, is the only
event dedicated to innovation in security technology. This year it was held from the
22nd to the 25th of January in Coventry. In words of the organizers, "Innovation is

sector is no different. The IP in Security Awards programme recognises this fact and
believes that innovation should be rewarded and promoted to both our peers,
customers and the industry at large, presenting the benefits of the technology and

technically advanced solutions, so Technetix were delighted to secure all three of
these prestigious awards.

How the judges commented on the awards:

the IP UserGroup membership"

Winner of the IP in Security Award for 2007
"Providing a good upgrade path this product could be the "big time" catalyst to
digital migration"

The solution:
The revolutionary Adapt-x solution was launched by Technetix at the IIPSEC show in
January 2007. This unique solution enables the upgrade of analogue CCTV networks to
IP capability while reducing installation costs and operational disturbance by using
the existing coax cable.
Two of the main issues faced when upgrading CCTV networks from analogue to IP are
the cost and inconvenience of having the coaxial cable removed and replaced with
CAT5 or fibre optic cabling and supplying power and guaranteeing continuity in
recording in the case of power failures. The Adapt-x range addresses both these
issues.
The products in the Adapt-x range allow high speed Ethernet traffic and DC power, to
be carried over the existing analogue coaxial cable of distances up to 350 metres.
This is done simply by installing a small device, known as an Intelligent Ethernet
Coax Adapter, at both ends of the coaxial cable. This single pair of devices carries
both power and Ethernet over a single coax cable.
In summary, some of the key features of the solution are:
* Uses existing coax cabling up to 350 metres
* Provides unique DC Powering options end to end over the same cable
* Supports multiple IP cameras/devices
* Supports high definition cameras
* Supports any network device - fully transparent 100BaseT Ethernet
* Simple and easy to install with no set-up involved
* Rack mount option for control room scenarios
* Extended Uninterruptible Power Supply capability from central end to remote cameras


The technology:
The revolutionary technology behind the company's new Adapt-x range is the Technetix
cXcomm100 technology (patent pending), which enables propagation of wire speed
Ethernet and DC power over existing coaxial cabling without the speed or delay
limitations that carrier/modem based technologies introduce.
