Oplink to Launch Mobile Interactive Security and Safety System
GlobeNewswire 2012-09-24
FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 24, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oplink
Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPLK), a leading provider of photonic
telecommunications components, intelligent modules and subsystem
solutions, today announced the addition of its mobile interactive
business division and introduction of its new security and safety
system for homes and businesses.
Leveraging its in-house design and integration expertise in conjunction
with mobile cloud software development, Oplink is building
Smartphone-centric security service applications for the high growth
home and business markets. Integrating Smartphones, Tablets, wireless
security sensors, IPCAMs and network storage devices, Oplink's
patent-pending plug-n-play mobile cloud solutions offer Smartphones'
users on-the-go real time protection and monitoring. Oplink's
software-centric Smartphone Owner Protection service provides many
innovative features that aim to replace the legacy "central station
call service" over time. These patent-pending plug-n-play
solution-in-a-box systems will come in different packages with
different numbers of IPCAMs, wireless sensors, controllers, and storage
options. Oplink will also offer a 3G/4G dongle and back-up battery
option, to ensure continued service during power or Internet outages.
Oplink intends to sell through its web store initially and co-sale with
wireless carriers later for both products and services. Product
pre-launch details will be available at http://www.oplink.com/mi.
"We are excited to introduce these software-centric,
mass-merchandisable security solutions-in-boxes for home and business,"
commented Joe Liu, Chairman & CEO of Oplink. "Our mobile cloud offers
multiple A/V alerts to unlimited emergency contacts, and supports
multiple video viewing at different locations at once. We are pleased
to officially announce our entrance into this big and growing market
with this initiative, and look forward to capitalizing on this
opportunity with our innovative solutions."
