SYLMAR, Calif., July 20, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- Pervasys (Pink Sheets:PVYS) and Consolidated Gold Win (CDNX:CGW) completed their first Los Angeles demonstration of the successful integration of the FeLIX Internet broadcast technologies with wireless capabilities at Lone Star Studio. Consolidated Gold Win Chairman Abby Farrage and Manager of Project Operations Brian Horton joined Pervasys Chairman Michael Meyer and FeLIX developer Daniel F. O'Neill for tests this week. Several more tests are contemplated for field use applications of the technology before the system returns to Lone Star Studio on Monday, where it will become part of Pervasys' Convergence Studio package and a permanent demonstration for the cross-marketing of Pervasys and Consolidated Gold Win technologies.
According to Horton, "The Gold Web Wireless System operates like a hub. We connect to the Internet through a Cat5 connector. The access point replaces a traditional hub. The LAN side supports up to 256 simultaneous wireless connections per access. Laptops and any PC can attach to the Gold Web Wireless System with a wireless adapter."
In explaining possible deployment scenarios, Pervasys FeLIX developer Daniel O'Neill explained that "for example, if Lone Star needs to place four cameras on each of four stages, each of the four cameras would be connected to a FeLIX. The FeLIX would use a PCI/PCMCIA converter to transmit a wireless signal to the Gold Web Wireless System, to create in input side of the Pervasys system for monitoring and previewing of the action on the various sound stages. Every PC in the complex could then similarly be outfitted with wireless modems, to create a LAN with up to 256 FeLIXs and PCs per access point. Because of the Cat5 connection to the Internet, the video from each of the FeLIX's could then be viewed remotely from anywhere on the Internet."
Meyer, a former film producer and director, feels that the greatest tie-in of the technologies is a result of the potential portability and mobility of the FeLIX Internet broadcast unit when coupled with the Gold Web Wireless System: "I'm very excited with Pervasys' opportunity to engage in the cross-marketing of the FeLIX with the Gold Web Wireless System. The wireless hub will support feeds up to 1.5 miles with direct line of site and up to 3 miles in flat, open terrain. Taking advantage of this, with a single laptop relay, we can cybercast live even if we are three miles from the nearest connection to the Internet. This means that we no longer need dedicated digital lines to every building from which we propose to cybercast. This also means that we can create inexpensive mobile cybercast units very economically.
"To give one of the more difficult live event "cybercast" propositions, assume we wanted to show all 18 holes of a golf tournament, and we didn't want to wire the golf course. With a FeLIX at each hole and lie, we could transmit 36 simultaneous feeds, each up to 1.5 miles to the Gold Web Wireless Hub System, and then we could transmit an additional 1.5 -miles to Internet bandwidth.
"The same logic applies to traffic maintenance. Connecting traffic light posts or bus stops along a route, using wireless connections from stop-to-stop, we can create a wireless network for live audio / video traffic cameras.
"The uses are limitless, and we are very excited about the potential for marketing these technologies to select clients as a package," concluded Meyer.
