Amsterdam, 10 September 2011 – AirTies, the innovative wireless networking and set-top box vendor, today announced that the company has been awarded the Best Customer Premises Technology for the Air4420 in this year’s Cable & Satellite International’s awards. The award, which is now in its ninth year, is one of the most comprehensive and competitive technology awards, and is designed to reward technical and product marketing excellence in the cable, satellite, terrestrial broadcasting, IPTV, online/internet video and mobile TV sectors.

The Air4420 is a wireless video streaming access point and media server that connects an IP Gateway and any network-enabled TV/BluRay Player, games console, IPTV or Hybrid Sat/Cable/DTT STB wirelessly to the Internet and home network.  Fully self-provisioning at the push of a button, users can download 3D, HD and SD movies from the Internet and stream multiple channels simultaneously to PCs, STBs, Connected TVs or games consoles.  Adding a USB device, such as a portable hard drive, to the USB port enables the device to be shared on the network and for multimedia content to be streamed wirelessly around the home using the UPNP AV/DLNA media server.
