Leading Distributor of Custom Home Electronics to Demonstrate and Sell Global Caché Products at 37 Locations

Jacksonville, OR USA – November 5, 2008 - Global Caché, the award winning provider of network connectivity products for homes and businesses, announced today it has partnered with AVAD LLC, America's leading distributor of custom home electronics, to offer Global Caché products to AVAD’s 11,000+ certified custom installers and dealers. According to the agreement, AVAD will immediately offer Global Caché's family of products online and at its 37 locations.

Global Caché's GC-100 Network Adapter, engineered to easily integrate with other systems, physically connects IR, serial, and contact closure devices to a network so they can be controlled, automated, and maintained by network-based software and hardware systems.

AVAD is committed to providing dealers with the best brands in the industry and offers demonstration facilities, next-day nationwide delivery, as well as local dealer training and support services in regional offices throughout the United States.

“We're delighted that a distributor of AVAD's stature has chosen to distribute our products,” said Robin Ford, Global Caché VP of Business Development. “Global Caché is well known for reliable, cost-effective products that integrate easily with other vendors offerings. That makes us a perfect fit for AVAD's Integration Partner Program which is dedicated to promoting seamless interoperability between its brands. Their recent announcement that they are representing Life|ware products by Exceptional Innovation, a close partner of Global Caché, is icing on the cake.”

John Soumbasakis, senior vice president and general manager of AVAD, agreed saying, “The emergence of open systems and the availability of powerful, cost-effective products in the custom installation market paves the way for a very successful partnership with AVAD and Global Caché. Our dealers will value the ability to expand their installations and widen their opportunities with products that enhance the systems they are already using.
