The Consumer Electronics Association's (CEA) Mark of Excellence Award recognizes the best. In CEA's category of Whole House-Automation System, t-ORB is ecstatic about being selected as a Mark of Excellence finalist.

t-ORB's finalist standing for Remote Life was announced at the 2004 International CES in Las Vegas. "The world's authority on electronics has recognized t-ORB as a leader in the industry, which takes them to a whole new level," exclaimed David Dietrich, President and CEO of t-ORB. As a finalist, t-ORB gains extensive exposure throughout the global electronics industry. The award winners will be honored at the Mark of Excellence Award banquet at the Rosen Centre Hotel in Orlando, Fla., on Wednesday, March 10, 2004.

Remote Life's selection in the Whole House-Automation System category was based on home control and networking functions, as well as its ease of subsystem integration. Remote Life provides home control by controlling lights and appliances with a TV remote, dimmer switch, keypad or the Internet. As for networking functions, Remote Life extends beyond the TV remote to cell phones and computers so that homeowners have control of their house from anywhere! Remote Life's accessibility from anywhere makes it easier for homeowners to manage and control their home and provides homeowners with additional family security. Integrating cameras, motion sensors and electrical devices, Remote Life's easy-to-use Web interface gives homeowners the power to turn lights and appliances on or off, shut garage doors, let the kids into the house without leaving work and even notify parents of children arriving home from school via e-mail pictures. In addition, Remote Life automatically notifies the owner of events via e-mail, text messaging and/or triggered device responses.
