CiAlliance Trusts Tripp Lite to Protect Stellar Golf Show House in Orlando


Showcase House Integrates Home Technology, Power Protection and IP Addressability

Chicago, IL (March 12, 2008) Tripp Lite, a world-leading manufacturer of power protection equipment, proudly announces that the recently completed Stellar Golf Show House in Orlando, Florida, includes Tripp Lite solutions. CiAlliance, the New York-based network of integrators that oversaw the project, chose Tripp Lite's AV550SC Backup Power Block and Pure Sine Wave UPS System to provide essential power protection and backup.

"We're proud that Tripp Lite was chosen to provide essential power protection for the Stellar Golf Show House," said Dennis Mariasis, Tripp Lite Audio/Video Brand Manager. "The AV550SC Backup Power Block and the Pure Sine Wave UPS Systems are built to integrate perfectly within today's home system designs, many of which now include a router and modem. The plans for the Stellar Golf Show House called for protection, convenience and IP addressability. In other words, they called for Tripp Lite solutions."

"With Tripp Lite products, the Stellar Golf Show House is protected in two major ways," said CiAlliance Senior Vice President of Business Development Joe Lucania. "First, the AV550SC Power Block is a great solution for supporting the structured wiring of the home. Second, the Pure Sine Wave AV UPS System will protect our equipment from damage during power surges. This is also a great feature if we have any generators on site. We'll be protected from over-voltages when the generators kick in."

The AV550SC Backup Power Block provides the highest level of protection for cabling within the house and fills the need for rebooting the modem and router, a problem familiar to business and homeowner alike. The recycle/reset button with 60-second outlet delay, allows for the modem to find its IP address first before the router reboots.

The Pure Sine Wave AV UPS System has a zero transfer time and regenerates clean power to allow the very best in EMI/RFI harmonic filtration and surge protection. Another added benefit is IP addressability, which sends an e-mail notification of any power outage within the system and provides remote diagnostics and reboot, saving valuable time and avoiding costly truck rolls.

Located on the 13th fairway of Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando, the golf-themed showcase house offers manufacturers and suppliers the opportunity to showcase high-quality products and services to builders and customers. Bay Hill is a non-gated suburban community west of Orlando that consists of nearly 668 home sites. In 2008 the Show House will open its doors for the International PGA Show, International Builders Show, Arnold Palmer Invitational and Southeast Builders Conference and will also be open at least one month to the public.
