Icron Systems, Inc. announced today that it has signed an agreement with TeVeo Inc. to jointly market Icron’s USB Ranger™ family of products with TeVeo’s real-time streaming video software and related web services.

Headquartered in Mountain View, Calif., TeVeo Inc. offers VIDiO™ Suite, the best way to share video on the Internet. Now, anyone can easily share video, whether for education or business purposes. Plus, family and friends can keep in touch during special moments and everyday events. The suite’s TeVeo Live component streams high-resolution, real-time action from webcams or video cameras to any browser. An inexpensive upgrade, VIDiO Live Events’ flexible scheduling and remote monitoring features will optimize the real-time web video experience. The TeVeo.com site (www.teveo.com) offers secure, high-performance hosting services and provides viewers a growing directory of real-time streams, featuring interesting subjects and personalities.

“We are extremely pleased to solidify this agreement with Icron Systems. Their USB Ranger products open the door to exciting new opportunities to deliver content within TeVeo’s webcam communities,” said Todd Paquette, TeVeo’s Director of Business Development. “Icron’s ExtremeUSB™ technology allows webcams to be located up to 330 feet from the host computer, enabling a whole new range of applications and markets for webcams at home and in business.”

David Smith, Icron’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, stated, “TeVeo’s software and hosting services are innovative and powerful tools that are enhanced by Icron’s ExtremeUSB technology. With this agreement, Icron’s products will be presented to a large new audience of customers who require extended USB connections for their webcams. This relationship leverages the strong synergy of our companies and will provide incremental revenues in the near term.”

Icron’s USB Ranger products, with ExtremeUSB technology, have already gained acceptance in the server, KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) extension, entertainment, professional audio/video, industrial control, computer telephony and computer distribution markets.
