Developed to accommodate the growing digital communications needs of the home, the TecSystem wiring backbone is a CEBus-compliant home LAN system that can distribute high-bandwidth digital signals. The TecSystem consists of a patented TecPlate wall plate, a central server, and special networked cabling. You can use the TecSystem to communicate on global computing networks and to access programmable news and information, video on demand, multiple TV channels, and other multimedia services while having plug-and-play flexibility with other electronic devices anywhere in your house. The entry-level four-TecPlate network starts at $500; an eight-TecPlate network starts at $1500. The system can handle as many as 32 TecPlates.
