PARIS, March 13 /PRNewswire/ --

- As a Promoter Member, AwoX Continues to Express its Support for the 
Growing DLNA Networked Interoperability Guidelines

AwoX announces that it has raised its membership within the Digital
Living Network Alliance (TM) (DLNA) to Promoter status, further indicating
its dedication to DLNA as the de facto guidelines for home networks.

AwoX designs and develops middleware solutions, and manufactures
connected devices for emerging markets such as internet radio, digital media
adapters, video-on-demand Box, and network add-on board for TV. The company
joins industry leaders in becoming DLNA Promoter members. These companies are
working together to enable interoperability between personal computing (PC),
consumer electronics (CE) and mobile devices in and beyond the home. Promoter
members are carefully selected by the DLNA board of directors.

"AwoX is further strengthening its commitment to the DLNA technology
specifications by upgrading to promoter membership," says Alain Molinié, CEO
and co-founder of AwoX. "We believe that the DLNA guidelines are already the
de facto guidelines for home networks. As more and more devices become
connected, it is increasingly important to promote guidelines for established
standards, ensuring that these devices can interoperate seamlessly."

Members of DLNA share a vision of an interoperable network of personal
computers (PC), consumer electronics (CE) and mobile devices in and beyond
the home, enabling a seamless environment for sharing and growing new digital
media and content services. More than 240 multi-industry companies from
around the world have joined DLNA, committing the time and resources
necessary to achieve their vision.

AwoX mediaCTRL server for PC, a subset of AwoX mediaCTRL(TM) middleware,
was recently certified reference device compliant with DLNA Networked Device
Interoperability Guidelines v1.5, thus being included on the official list of
DLNA Certified(TM) products.
