Wi3 "Best of CES Innovations 2012" Wi3 Named Best of CES Innovations 2012 Design and Engineering Award Honoree ROCHESTER, NY — November 9, 2011 — Wi3 today announced that it has been named an International CES Innovations 2012 Design and Engineering Award Honoree for the WiFi version of its WiPNET in-wall networking product series. Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and members of the media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronics products across 32 product categories. Wi3’s patented WiPNET Series will be displayed at the 2012 International CES, which runs January 10-13, 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Selected as an honoree and the winner of the home networking product category, the WiFi WiPNET port is a true revolution in home networking technology. Without disrupting any existing Cable TV or Satellite services in place, WiPNET utilizes the existing coax cable already in the walls of tens of millions of homes and commercial properties, to provide a fast, innovative solution to what was once a complicated, costly and time-intensive process. Now the freedom of WiFi and dependability of wired Internet can be delivered to multiple locations around a home, apartment, hotel or office via the self-configuring WiPNET ports. Whether plugged into an IPTV, PC or HDTV, additional WiPNET ports are automatically configured to maximize the reliability, speed and simplicity of wired Web connections or wireless access points tethered to a wired backbone. Advantages to WiPNET include its ease of set-up; its creative “cartridge & sleeve” product design that allow cartridges with various technology solutions to be swapped based on connection needs; and its elimination of network delays when multiple media formats are simultaneously in use, meaning no more dropped connections while gaming, streaming movies, watching IPTV or using any array of connected Apple or PC devices. “To compete with the likes of Belkin, Cisco, D-Link, NETGEAR and others, and win… we’re honored just to have been compared, but we really think it speaks volumes to the market potential of WiPNET,” commented Bill Thompson, CEO of Wi3. “And as Internet-based services continue to migrate toward delivery through the TV, we believe this product will not only be adopted as the industry standard, but that it will become the platform for the cable industry and beyond.” - more - About Wi3 Inc Founded in 2008, by CEO Bill Thompson, Wi3 Inc., is committed to the design and development of world-class digital networking products.
