“I am honored to be named the 2021 SIA Chairman’s Award winner. It has been so rewarding to work together [with SIA] in advocating on the issues that matter the most to our members and to the safety of our citizens.” – Craig Sharman

SILVER SPRING, Md. (PRWEB)
March 03, 2021

The Security Industry Association (SIA) has named Craig Sharman as the 2021 recipient of the SIA Chairman’s Award, an award presented annually and selected by SIA’s Board of Directors chair recognizing SIA members’ diligent efforts in furthering the association’s mission and commitment to its future. SIA will present Sharman with the award at The Advance, SIA’s annual membership meeting, which will be held March 23 as a virtual event.

Craig Sharman – senior director of federal government relations at Johnson Controls – is a longtime member and the current chair of the SIA Government Relations Committee, which advises SIA members regarding legislation, regulations and pending government actions affecting the security industry and makes recommendations for related actions. Sharman has more than 20 years of government, association and private-sector experience; prior to his time with Johnson Controls, he served in government relations and leadership roles with the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security and the National Volunteer Fire Council. He holds a master’s degree in political management from the George Washington University and a bachelor’s degree in political science from West Virginia University.

“I am honored to be named the 2021 SIA Chairman’s Award winner; thank you to SIA for your support and the opportunity to give back to the security industry,” said Sharman. “I’d like to thank my colleagues on the SIA Government Relations Committee, as well as Jake Parker and SIA’s government relations team, for their outstanding efforts on behalf of the industry. It has been so rewarding to work together in advocating on the issues that matter the most to our members and to the safety of our citizens.”

Sharman was an early recipient of the SIA Statesman Award and has helped guide SIA in developing and coordinating its advocacy and lobbying activities. In addition to expanding SIA’s contacts and relationships with members of Congress and their staff, he was instrumental in helping SIA launch SecurityPAC, SIA’s political action committee, and in engaging other members to participate in that effort as well as other special projects. Sharman has helped maximize participation from employees at his own company in SIA events and activities and engaged with members to help grow participation in SIA’s government relations committee and working groups.

“Craig Sharman has been and is a key leader on SIAS’s Government Relations Committee and has helped drive SIA’s advocacy and lobbying initiatives. He has made enormous contributions in leadership, time and effort as a volunteer with the association overall,” said Pierre Trapanese, chair of the SIA Board of Directors. “SIA is grateful for Craig’s valuable efforts to benefit the security industry and help advance SIA’s mission. We look forward to honoring him with the 2021 SIA Chair’s Award.”

The Advance 2021 will take place on Tuesday, March 23, at 1:30 p.m. EDT and be hosted as a virtual event. At this special membership meeting, attendees will review official association business, recognize volunteer achievements in 2020 and exchange market intelligence for the year ahead.

Keyssa’s tiny, 3mm x 3mm high-speed connector

“Sansi is excited to use Keyssa’s high-speed wireless connectors in our new SR2.6 and SR2.9 video wall products targeting the LED rental market” said Fan Zhou, Product Manager, Sansi.

CAMPBELL, Calif. (PRWEB)
March 03, 2021

Keyssa, a leader in high-speed, contactless connectivity, today announced that Sansi Technology, a global Leader in LED displays and lighting, has launched their SR Series of indoor rental LED display cabinets using Keyssa’s wireless connectors to transmit the high-speed video signals between cabinets. Keyssa’s embedded solid-state connector improves LED video wall reliability by reducing failure rates common with LED cabinets typically connected with mechanical connectors and cables. Eliminating cumbersome cables also minimizes the time and cost to install and breakdown a video wall – a major benefit to installers whose livelihood is based on erecting video walls in a timely manner.

“Sansi is excited to use Keyssa’s high-speed wireless connectors in our new SR2.6 and SR2.9 video wall products targeting the LED rental market” said Fan Zhou, Product Manager, Sansi. “Reliability of LED cabinet-to-cabinet connections is a key differentiator in the rental market where video walls are installed and taken down daily, and mechanical connectors are prone to wear and tear and ultimately, failure. This is not an issue with Sansi’s products. Keyssa’s connectors provide solid-state reliability by eliminating the mechanical connector – one of the key failure points in every LED video wall. Additionally, our SR Series is designed to be installed and taken down much more quickly than traditional designs that require cabinet-to-cabinet cabling.”

Keyssa’s KSS104M, the core product chosen by Sansi, is a tiny semiconductor, just 3 mm x 3mm square with an antenna onboard, embedded beneath the surface of each cabinet…immune to water, dust or dirt, and able to transmit data up to 6 gigabits per second when two devices come into contact with each other. Unlike mechanical connectors, the KSS104M is solid-state, which means no wear and tear, and Mean Time Between Failure is measured in thousands of years rather than hundreds of insertions.

“The mechanical connector is one of the biggest liabilities in any video wall system,” says Steve Venuti, vice president of marketing at Keyssa. This is especially true of the rental market, where cables and connectors consistently fail because of the constant wear and tear every time a video wall is installed and broken down. Keyssa’s solid-state high-speed wireless connectors remove this failure point, improving overall reliability of the video wall as well as making installation much easier and simpler by removing unnecessary cabling.”

About Keyssa

The mechanical connector has remained unchanged for over 100 years – metal touching metal – and has not kept pace with other fundamental components of computing devices. Signal integrity, EMI/RFI, and connector reliability, inside and outside of devices, continue to challenge product designers. Founded in 2009, Keyssa, Inc. brings advanced technology to an age-old problem by developing a solid-state connector that uses Extremely High Frequencies (EHF) to provide low-power, high-speed data transfer – securely and simply. With over 280 patent filings, Keyssa has reinvented the connector. Keyssa has volume implementations in a range of markets, including mobile, consumer electronics, displays, automotive, medical, and factory automation. Learn more at http://www.keyssa.com.

About Sansi Technology

Since its founding in 1993, SANSI has been dedicated to technological innovation in a wide range of LED applications, from commercial displays to home lighting. We fully integrate product design, production, sales, installation, and customer support in our effort to provide affordable, state-of-the-art LED technology. With over 480 in-house engineers, 2000 employees, and three advanced factories, SANSI has reached over 40 nations on five continents, and continues to grow. Having successfully launched dozens of cutting-edge projects, SANSI’s mission is to raise the bar for LED applications. Learn more at http://www.sansi.com/.

“Our vision is to design platforms to help accelerate the adoption of clean energy technologies to improve enterprise customer performance. The growth in both e-commerce and online data storage are timed alongside accelerated demand for green solutions.” Keith Washington, President & CEO

KOKOMO, Ind. (PRWEB)
March 03, 2021

Green Cubes Technology (Green Cubes), the leader in producing Lithium-ion (Li-ion) power systems that facilitate the transition from lead acid batteries and Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) power to green Lithium-ion battery power, today announced broad company expansion and rebranding to capture the new scope and scale of the company. Green Cubes added North American facilities, established operations in Europe and is expanding product lines for the Material Handling and Data Center markets.

Increasing industrial output and e-commerce is a key factor driving global demand for material handling equipment, and there is continued demand for online data storage that started with digital globalization and is exponentially increasing with the remote workforce. At the same time, green initiatives are gaining public and private support. While the need to decrease fossil-fuel dependency gets attention, green power storage – in the form of Lithium-ion batteries – is a necessary complementary technology.

“Expansion of warehouses and capacity across the globe has been fundamental to the global material handling battery market trends observed in the recent years,” said Christophe Pillot, Partner and Director of AVICENNE Energy. “As organizations recognize the potential to reduce total cost of ownership and meet green initiatives, we will see Li-ion based systems move further into the mainstream, specifically for 24/7 operations where the value proposition of the technology is easily recognized.”

“Our vision is to design platforms to help accelerate the adoption of clean energy technologies to improve enterprise customer performance,” said Keith Washington, President and CEO of Green Cubes. “In a remarkable confluence of events, the growth in both e-commerce and online data storage are timed alongside accelerated demand for green solutions.”

Green Cubes is responding with technology innovation and manufacturing scale to meet these needs on a global level. It recently expanded its engineering and production facilities in Kokomo, Indiana. In addition to the existing facility, Green Cubes added another 36,000 square foot facility. The existing production facility will continue provide Lithium-ion batteries for the mobile medical workstation market, while the new facility houses engineering staff and produces Lithium-ion material handling batteries.

Additionally, Green Cubes established two new facilities in Europe to better serve its growing overseas customer base. A new Technology Center is located in Zurich, Switzerland. This facility currently employs a high-performance team of engineers, with staff coming from Power-One, ABB and BEL Power Solutions. This facility is the center of excellence for data center and network power products, including rack-mounted Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and power conversion products. Products for the network power market are under development at this Technology Center and will be released in mid-2021. A new Production Center is located near Bratislava, Slovakia. This facility specializes in the manufacturing of battery and power conversion products for European market. Production of medium format Lithium-ion batteries for the material handling and network power market will be operational by the end of Q2, 2021.

The new European team includes industry expert Jochen Schumann as Chief Technical Officer for Green Cubes. Mr. Schumann has over 25 years of demonstrated experience in designing high efficiency AC/DC and DC/DC converters, as well as the management of global engineering teams in the power industry.

With the expansion of both North American and European operations, Green Cubes has a global footprint and now has engineering centers in the United States, India and Switzerland and production facilities in the United States, Malaysia, and Slovakia. An updated brand and new website capture the essence of the company.

About Green Cubes Technology

Green Cubes Technology develops and manufactures a complete portfolio of lithium power systems that enable its OEM and enterprise customers to transition from Lead Acid and Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) power to Lithium-ion battery power. Green Cubes utilizes proven hardware and software platforms to build the most reliable lithium battery systems in its industries. With over 300 employees across six countries, Green Cubes has been producing innovative, high-performance and high-quality products since 1986.
