Established in 1992, AEI began supplying Wickes Building Supplies, a UK based retailer, with OEM branded security products. By 1996 we had
achieved a level of over 200 retail outlets selling AEI products, across various retail stores, including newcomers to the television shopping channels.
During 2000, work started on Video Sender production and by 2003 we had created the DigiSender® brand, which is now available in over 800 retails
stores throughout Europe. is also led to development work on behalf of NTL - the American Cable TV giant now owned by Virgin Media - de-
veloping a custom module which allowed them to interface PC’s to their 2 million set top box receivers already in the market thus enabling them to
roll out their broadband internet services. From this, we also provided solutions to other technical barriers including the need to interface our own
DigiSender® range with their bespoke IrDA Remote Control protocols used on the majority of their 2 million set top boxes already in use. is in-
terfacing technology is still used today in our DigiSender® X4, X7, Zentrum™, HQ and HD Series providing the only world source of Video Senders
capable of working fully with every set top box ever made, as well as being the only remote relay protocol to offer multiple channel options and thus
avoiding interference within high density housing developments.
DigiSender® has established itself as a solid brand of European-designed products created within AEI, for which investments in tooling and custom
designed PCB’s now tops $100,000 and in turn supports a multi-million dollar turnover.
With advances in internet based multimedia programme providers, AEI has invested in streaming media creating a range of High Definition
DigiSender® products with internet compatibility. Working with our American partners we have created a series of streaming media integrated circuits
allowing us to manufacture the next generation of DigiSender® products and increasing our investment and product range dramatically. Chronos
Stream Media™ together with DigiSender iMedia® technology form the core of this exciting Video Sender range for the transmission of HD digital
television around the home as well as online media from internet programme providers.
With sales support in the UK, Germany and the USA, AEI products are now sold in over a 1000 outlets worldwide and our mission is to remain at
the forefront of innovation providing video transmission solutions for home and commercial applications. We will also continue our investment in
internet based instructional videos supporting our most recent product introductions and providing unprecedented levels of customer support and
product satisfaction.
