Broadcasters Show Daily 2 9 Wednesday, April 26 - Thursday, April 27, 2017 SECURAM BRINGS SAFE LOCKS INTO 21ST CENTURY WITH WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY Whether you own a gun safe, a person- al safe, a business or jewelry safe, chances are the lock it came with is an old-fashioned combination lock. You know the kind, where you spin the dial around to the correct combination num- bers, similar to opening your locker back in school. If you opted for the more updated variety, maybe it has an electronic push button lock – it was most likely built around 30-year-old technology. Consumer electronic devices are making giant leaps and bounds from a technology perspective in every category but the safe lock market. Ever wondered why? Is it because consumers don't want new and improved safe management systems? Is it because safe owners only trust old-fashioned technology when it comes to opening their safe? Is it because in the movies, the art of crack- ing a safe is a mystery only to be solved by the trained touch of a notorious safe cracker? None of these is the correct answer. The safe lock industry worldwide is controlled by a handful of stalwart com- panies who have very little interest in advancing the technology of safe locks. Why? Because innovation is tough. It takes vision and talent, but more than that, it takes money, and who wants to invest in an industry as small as the safe lock market? Well, a few years ago, a California company was founded with just that notion. What if it could revolutionize the way people interact with something as simple, but as important, as your gun safe? What if homeowners could remotely manage the access to their most prized possessions, heirloom jewelry, important documents, medical records, passports and weapons? What if they could get alerts when the door has been accidentally left open, or when someone is trying to break in or guess the combination? What if it was smart enough to send them an email or text message when the contents were at risk? In 2006, SecuRam Systems Inc., a company with extraordinary vision and a solid foundation in electronic engineer- ing and access control, brought its unique skill for innovative design and quality manufacturing to the safe lock industry. Since its founding, SecuRam has launched more than 150 inno- vative safe lock systems – product innovations such as biometric authentication, remote manage- ment, network connectivity and Bluetooth for the business or cor- porate safe market – all features that the market was searching for. This year, as home automa- tion is reaching exciting heights, SecuRam has launched a series of safe locks that can connect to your home's wireless network. Using WiFi and Bluetooth technology, SecuRam safe locks now allow safe owners to equip their safes with advanced technology – turning their big, old fortified steel box into a smart safe. This technology now allows you to be as connected to the secure storage of your precious belong- ings as you are to every other aspect of your life. For more information, visit www .securamsys.com. ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING & ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE Additive manufacturing (AM) is an exciting industry that has great implica- tions in many other industries including furniture, automobiles, aerospace and even housing. Another topic that tran- scends all of these industries is environ- mental sustainability. Every industry rep- resented within the AM space has its own set of environmental guidelines or regu- lations that it must follow, and these guidelines and regulations are likely to increase as the years progress. ALGIX 3D allows industrial customers to fulfill their diverse project needs while also knowing they are using materials that are better for the environment and safe for users. ALGIX 3D is a part of the ALGIX family of companies. ALGIX started as a bioplastics company, formulating the potential of algae to produce plastics that are more environmentally sustainable. In April of 2014, ALGIX ventured into the 3D printing and AM industries. Already having the vertical integration within its facility for bioplastics processing and extensive research and development, expanding into developing and producing materi- als for AM was a fairly easy move. ALGIX 3D produces some of the highest quality, highest performance and environmentally sustainable materi- als for this industry. ALGIX 3D is con- stantly developing and commercializing innovative materials for the fused fila- ment fabrication (FFF) 3D printing mar- ket and resins for the AM market. The ALGIX 3D bioplastic product portfolio currently consists of the following prod- ucts, available in filament and resin pel- let form: ALGA (algae-based), APLA (advanced PLA), DURA (durable and tough), OMNI (all purpose) and soon- to-launch YOGA (flexible). Versions of these materials have been custom formulated to work in Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) industrial 3D printers for high performance and sustainable materials with no warping. All materials produced by ALGIX 3D are compostable and non- toxic, making them better for the envi- ronment and better for users than other options. For more information, go to www.algix3d.com. IOGEAR LAUNCHES INDUSTRY-FIRST THUNDERBOLT 2 KVM/DOCKING STATION IOGEAR, a manufacturer of innovative information technology products for consumers and small- to medium-sized businesses, today announced the launch of the IOGEAR Thunderbolt 2 KVM/Docking Station (GTD732). The GTD732 is the industry's first product to combine a Thunderbolt 2 docking station and a KVM switch and enables users to easily establish and share a complete, full-featured workstation between two Thunderbolt 2-enabled computers. The GTD732, which has been named a CES 2017 Innovations Award Honoree, enables users to enjoy the flexibility and mobility of laptop com- puting and the performance and con- venience of a full workstation. With the simple push of a button, the GTD732 enables two Thunderbolt 2-enabled computers to share peripherals and Thunderbolt 2 devices, minimizing required desktop space and reducing capital expenses. In addition to the abil- ity to daisy chain up to four additional Thunderbolt devices, the GTD732 enables users to connect up to 11 devices and peripherals, such as exter- nal monitors, USB drives, printers, IP cameras, and a keyboard and mouse. The product is TAA compliant making it suitable for use by government agen- cies. Key Features of the Thunderbolt 2 KVM/Docking Station Sleek Full-Featured Docking Station – integrated three-port USB 3.0 and two- port USB 2.0 hub for external USB drives, cameras and phones; supports dual displays with HDMI and Thunderbolt 2 monitors with support for 4k (UHD) resolution; optical audio-in and audio-out ports provide 5.1 digital audio; eSATA interface; and a RJ-45 Gigabit LAN port. Share Peripherals Between Two Computers – the integrated KVM switch enables two Thunderbolt- enabled computers to easily share con- nected resources with the push of a but- ton, saving money and desktop space required by duplicate peripherals and resources. Blazing-Fast Speed – data transfer rate of up to 20Gbps is four times faster than USB 3.0 and 40 times faster than USB 2.0; Gigabit Ethernet port enables computers to share reliable, wired Gigabit connectivity to the network. Unparalleled Expandability – utiliz- ing one Thunderbolt 2 port on the dock- ing station, users can connect up to a total of four additional Thunderbolt-enabled devices such as an external disk array, video capture appliance, or Thunderbolt monitor. "The GTD732 gives mobile profes- sionals the best of both worlds, enabling them to enjoy the flexibility and convenience of mobile computing, without having to sacrifice the per- formance and capabilities of a full workstation," explained David Lin, Product Manager at IOGEAR. "This product is ideal for organizations in industries such as video production, finance and graphic design which often require the use of multiple computers and can benefit by sharing resources and peripherals to maximize limited desktop space and reduce capital expenditures." The IOGEAR Thunderbolt 2 KVM/Docking Station carries a limited one-year warranty and is available now at a MSRP of $399.95.
