Communication Networks (30 ComNet) has been approved by 761 Code Blue to supply fibre optic media converters and EoVDSL modems (Ethernet over Very High Digital Subscriber Link) for use with its line of IP-compatible phones and emergency call boxes.

“By approving ComNet, Code Blue will now be able to provide their customers with an easily implemented and reliable solution to extend the transmission distances of its products through fibre optic, coaxial cable, and twisted copper media,” said Bruce M. Berman, ComNet VP for new business development. As many of Code Blue’s products utilise Ethernet for local and wide area network transmission, methods to extend transmission distances through legacy and newly deployed transmission media become a necessity.”

Code Blue will now recommend the use of ComNet EoVDSL and fibre optic media converter products to its customers for use with the company’s IP-based products. “Code Blue had been seeking a partner to provide a method of extending the usable distance between our devices, and ComNet proved to be the right choice for the solution,” said Mick Doran, Code Blue product development manager.
