New Products and Technologies on Display at CEDIA EXPO 2010:

At CEDIA EXPO 2010, Panamax/Furman will be demonstrating the latest version of its BlueBOLT(TM) Web-based power and energy management platform. In addition, the company will feature a sneak peek of the future of BlueBOLT, demonstrating how the platform can be extended wirelessly to direct plug-in devices. Also on display will be the new MIW-SURGE-1G and the MD2 family of surge protectors.

Wireless BlueBOLT(TM) Demonstration
CEDIA EXPO attendees will receive a sneak preview of how the benefits of BlueBOLT(TM) can be wirelessly extended to smaller point-of-use, direct plug-in devices. These devices provide an easy way for users to manage power and monitor the energy usage of more electronic devices throughout the home, giving them a larger picture of overall home energy consumption.

BlueBOLT(TM) Platform Updates
The Panamax/Furman booth at CEDIA EXPO 2010 will include a demo of the latest updates to its BlueBOLT(TM) power and energy management platform. To help users conserve energy and lower their utility bills, BlueBOLT now greatly expands the energy management feature set, in addition to providing new control options. The BlueBOLT platform calculates the energy used by connected devices and reports it, historically and in real time, in kilowatt-hours as well as dollars. Users can also set energy budgets for their equipment and receive alerts when their usage is near or exceeding their allotted budget. BlueBOLT now also includes an auto-reboot feature for networking equipment. With auto-reboot, outlets can be designed to automatically power-cycle when an Internet connection is lost, eliminating the all-too-common need to hard-reboot modems and routers.
