ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. Subsidiary
Jones Broadband International Authorized as a
Premier Distributor for Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc.
BROKEN ARROW, Oklahoma September 15, 2008 – ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEY), today announced that its subsidiary, Jones Broadband International, has been selected as a Premier Stocking Distributor for Blonder Tongue products. Blonder Tongue is a principal provider of integrated network solutions and technical services to broadband service providers.
As a Premier Stocking Distributor, Jones Broadband of Oceanside, California, will provide its customers with Blonder Tongue’s cost effective broadband equipment used to transmit voice, data and digital video signals. Stocking inventory at this Oceanside, CA location facilitates fast shipment to West Coast and Pacific Rim international customers.
Commenting on the partnership, Ken Chymiak, President and CEO of ADDvantage Technologies, stated, “Becoming an Authorized Premier Distributor for Blonder Tongue is a significant step in our ability to provide our customers with cost saving solutions for their broadband needs. This is especially important as the 2009 FCC mandate requiring operators to switch their over the air broadcast signals from analog to digital quickly approaches. There are still a lot of systems that have not been updated to meet the new transmission requirements. By providing a wide array of Blonder Tongue product offerings in an efficient manner, we believe we can offer these operators a more cost effective solution as this deadline fast approaches.”
