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 docu- ments, 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 innovative safe lock systems – product innova- tions such as biometric authen- tication, remote management, network connectivity and Bluetooth for the business or corporate safe market – all fea- tures 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 own- ers to equip their safes with advanced technology – turning their big, old forti- fied steel box into a smart safe. This tech- nology now allows you to be as connect- ed to the secure storage of your precious belongings as you are to every other aspect of your life. For more information, visit www .securamsys.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 flex- ibility and mobility of laptop computing and the performance and convenience 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 ability 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 suit- able for use by government agencies. 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 com- puters to easily share connected resources with the push of a button, sav- ing 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 profession- als the best of both worlds, enabling them to enjoy the flexibility and convenience of mobile computing, without having to sacrifice the performance and capabili- ties of a full workstation," explained David Lin, Product Manager at IOGEAR.
