NEW YORK, Aug. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- ITT Industries, Network Systems &
Services (NYSE: ITT) announced today the launch of the DiLAN solution -- the
first Domestic Integrated Local Area Network that supports telephony, data,
audio/video and security capabilities over a single cabling infrastructure.
DiLAN (pronounced "Dylan") will enable homeowners to use their home
technologies, from the security system to the entertainment center to the
laser printer, without usage and location constraints -- creating a home that
grows and evolves with a family's ever-changing needs.
"The DiLAN solution is an extremely useful and practical home networking
tool," said Jonathan Chauvin-Blitt, President, ITT Industries Network Systems
& Services - Americas. "It is allowing families to change and adapt their
home entertainment, computer and security systems so that a room's use will no
longer be determined by the type of outlet and connectivity that is already in
place. And, because DiLAN enables a user to access fixed equipment from any
point in the house, families will be able to get more use from a single
printer, DVD player or stereo system."
DiLAN's capabilities are supported by CAT 5 or 5e cabling installed
throughout the house and linked between a centrally located control cabinet
and numerous socket outlets in each room. In addition, because the system
uses only a single copper cabling infrastructure and standard RJ45 outlets,
the DiLAN solution is as easy and economical to install in a new home as the
plumbing and electrical systems. Previously launched in Europe, DiLAN has
already been installed in approximately 4,000 homes.
The DiLAN solution will allow property developers and architects to design
and build homes capable of supporting future home automation technologies. It
will add value to properties by incorporating a more robust home cabling
system that will be able to withstand the increasing demands families place on
their home technology systems.
"Families have been anticipating smart home and home networking
capabilities for years, and now there is a system that can support current and
future technologies," Chauvin-Blitt said. "Systems like DiLAN will become as
common in a home as the PC. Families and developers who install these systems
today will be able to efficiently and easily adopt future home automation
technologies."
