So we've made a lot of investments recently in the partner program. What I'm most excited about is in my new organization, we have finally brought together all elements of the channel. So we have our business agents, our alternate channel distribution, which is outbound telemarketing and door to door distribution. We also have our mobility co sell program, which as our VADs and our VARS, which we work with on a daily basis and a co cell motion. And in order to really pull that together, we've also included our indirect to business point, which is our business agents that we sell through brick and mortar over five thousand doors throughout the nation. So by pulling this channel together, We're seeing synergies. We're seeing cohesion. We've got a very strong leadership team in place. And we're working hand in hand also with our direct sales teams. We all report into our CRO, Aparnaker. And so there's a lot of great synergy across the business units.

Atlona's Omega 2 puts 4K video, USB and Ethernet on one Cat 6A cable

Atlona's Omega 2 puts 4K video, USB and Ethernet on one Cat 6A cable

TWICE reports that Atlona added Omega 2 to its Omega Series on Oct. 22, 2026. According to Atlona, the HDBaseT 3.0 lineup carries uncompressed 4K/60 4:4:4 video, USB 2.0 data and Gigabit Ethernet over a single Cat 6A cable at distances up to 330 feet. The company says presenters get one cable and integrators get fewer boxes behind the display.

  • 01Omega products shown in 2019 were rated for up to 330 feet. Atlona says Omega 2, which uses HDBaseT 3.0, moves uncompressed 4K/60 4:4:4 video plus USB 2.0 data and Gigabit Ethernet across a single Cat 6A cable for distances up to 330 feet.
  • 02On the AT-OME2-E2311 transmitter and AT-OME2-D2311 receiver, bi-directional Power over HDBaseT lets either end power the other, so the link runs on one power supply, according to TWICE. That could mean one fewer power supply to mount behind a display.
  • 03Two models, the AT-OME2-E2311 transmitter and the AT-OME2-D2311 receiver, are already available. Atlona expects the AT-OME2-E2321-WP wall plate and the AT-OME2-R2742 switcher to begin shipping in mid-November.
