Blonder Tongue, Monroe Team on Campus EAS

Blonder Tongue Laboratories (NYSE:BDR) and Monroe Electronics have teamed up to create an emergency alert information and distribution platform for the campus environment - whether it be university, government, enterprise, retail or stadium - without requiring a set-top box.

Monroe's One-Net SE emergency alert system (EAS) has been integrated with the EQAM-420B EdgeQAM with EAS from Blonder Tongue. The combined solution is intended to let cable operators deliver customized, local emergency alert information. After receiving emergency alert information from national, local, and private agencies, the One-Net SE generates a customized EAS message and transmits the information to the EQAM-420B with EAS for distribution into the TV system.

The combined solution will be demonstrated at the NCTC's Winter Educational Conference, Feb. 17-18 in Tampa, FL.
