Comtrol Corp., a provider of serial device integration technology, launced its new Internet retail store, which provides customers with the ability to research product capabilities and purchase them immediately from Comtrol — 24 hours per day.

The new store, located at www.shopcomtrol.com, offers the full range of Comtrol's products, including flagship brands such as RocketPort multiport serial cards, DeviceMaster serial device servers, and RocketModem multimodem cards. The e-store will soon also host the Comtrol Clearance Center, where customers can find new overstock, discontinued and refurbished product for sale at significantly reduced prices.

Orders received through the new e-store will be electronically transmitted to established Comtrol distribution partners who will ship product from their inventory. Using this approach prevents channel conflict while leveraging the PC distributors' state-of-the-art fulfillment centers.

"Our new Internet store in no way diminishes our commitment to our distribution partners," remarked Lee Stagni, president and COO of Comtrol. "We know that many of our customers shop technology over the Internet and the new store provides a convenient place for Web-savvy customers to research and buy Comtrol products in the same place."

The new e-store is open 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Customers have instant access to all technical information about the Comtrol products with a click of the mouse. Value-added resellers and systems integrators can quickly and easily purchase evaluation units through the e-store to confirm that the product's capabilities meet their device connectivity needs.
