WALL-SMART Helps Systems Integrators Break into New Markets with Growing Line of Design-Friendly Wall and Ceiling Mounts

Visually discreet flush mounts from WALL-SMART blend technology beautifully into the architecture and interior style of residential and commercial environments.

BARCELONA, SPAIN; BUFFALO, NY (January 25, 2024)WALL-SMART understands the importance of preserving a building’s unique design characteristics when incorporating technology into the interior space. Premium materials and finishes, fine architectural details, and elegant interior surroundings create an aesthetic that technology should not overshadow. Yet, touchscreens, keypads, tablets, Wi-Fi access points, and other technologies have become critical components of modern living. WALL-SMART’s distinctive, design-friendly, flush wall and ceiling mounts solve this ongoing dilemma by enabling systems integrators to blend, if not hide, a wide range of tech seamlessly into any wall or ceiling surface, new construction and retrofit applications, alike. 

Displayed for the first time at an ISE event are WALL-SMART’s award-winning Universal Access Point Mounts and Mount for Sonos Beam Soundbar. At stand #2F460, ISE 2024 attendees can see the precise fit and clean finish of these and other products from industry-leading brands including Savant, Crestron, Control4, Lutron, and more, mounted in a variety of building materials. It’s this attention to detail and level of customization that renders devices less noticeable, preserves the architectural, design and structural integrity of the surrounding surface, and maintains optimal performance and convenient use of the technology. By turning eyesores into natural elements of the home or business environment, WALL-SMART offers integrators a means of differentiation and an avenue into new untapped markets. 

“Technology has become a necessity for most homes and businesses, but this doesn’t mean the aesthetic environment must suffer from ‘wall and ceiling acne’,” says WALL-SMART Co-CEO and Founder Galia Ben-Dor. “This is the philosophy on which WALL-SMART bases the design of every product developed. We think every living or working space should be as beautiful as it is functional, and our new solutions give technology integrators, builders, architects, designers, and their clientele even more ways to achieve this objective with ease and simplicity.”

WALL-SMART Introduces All-Inclusive Mounts for Wi-Fi Access Points 

Created for a universal fit of popular Wi-Fi access points from Araknis and Netgear, among many others, WALL-SMART’s Universal Access Point Mount offers integrators an opportunity to broaden their scope of business. Reliable, stable Wi-Fi connectivity is just as critical to IT and commercial customers as it is to homeowners, which drives the need for discreetly installed Wi-Fi access points across several vertical markets. The Universal Access Point Mount simplifies the transition into new markets and product specification process for builders, architects, designers and technology integrators. Rather than searching for and stocking a brand-specific mount, building professionals can rely on this one all-inclusive mount to take a device that would ordinarily protrude from the ceiling and recess it completely within the surface. By rendering Wi-Fi access points virtually invisible, the Universal Access Point Mount ensures high-performance Wi-Fi 6 and 7 connectivity without compromising the aesthetics of the environment. The multi-purpose design of the Universal Access Point Mount, which comes in ceiling- and wall-mounted versions, in small, medium, and large sizes, accommodates other products, as well, such as gateway devices and networking components like the Bond Bridge from Olibra.

WALL-SMART Mounts for Sonos Beam and ARC Break Soundbar Barriers 

Another popular yet visually invasive technology addressed by WALL-SMART is the soundbar. They’ve overcome the tech-versus-design conflict by creating a flush wall mount for the Sonos Beam and ARC soundbars. Systems integrators now have an eye-appealing alternative to placing soundbars inside furniture or attaching directly to displays. “While the Sonos Beam and ARC soundbars are beautiful in their own right, sometimes furniture is not desired or possible underneath the display. For these applications, our Wall Mounts for the Sonos Beam and ARC Soundbars provide a clean, minimalist appearance in any surround-sound application,” says Ben-Dor. The wall mounts, which are available in black and white, are covered with an attractive, matching acoustically and IR transparent grille cloth, allowing sound to transmit to the audience unfettered. 

Mounts Purpose-Built for Best-in-Class Keypads, Touchscreens, Tablets, and More

WALL-SMART demonstrates to ISE 2024 attendees its extensive breadth of products by also bringing wall mounts for inconspicuous installation of keypads, touchscreens, tablets, and electrical receptacles. Recessed wall mounts for keypads from ABB, Basalte, Black Nova, Lutron, and Vantage will be exhibited. In the touchscreen category, WALL-SMART showcases wall mounts for Control4, Crestron, Nice, RTI, and Savant. Leading brands of tablets are accounted for, as well, with solutions designed for the latest versions of the Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy. Electrical receptacles from Atlier and Basalte sit flush with wall surfaces, thanks to mounts customized by WALL-SMART.

Kordz Expands Range of Professional-Grade Connectivity Solutions for Even Greater Versatility, Installation Ease and Performance

Systems technicians can count on Kordz to develop the connectivity solutions they need to support emerging technologies and complete projects faster and more profitably. 

December 9, 2023AV technologies have progressed at an incredible rate over the past few years; high-res streaming services and bandwidth-intensive distribution and control systems are pushing the limits of ordinary cabling. Kordz has responded by unveiling at ISE 2024 an expanded line of next-generation cabling and connectivity solutions. At Stand #2F500, systems technicians can experience the Kordz difference through product showcases, demonstrations and an opportunity to compete against their peers in the popular Kordz cable Termination Challenge held throughout the show. 

With a team of former integrators plus over 20 years of experience designing, engineering and manufacturing connectivity specifically for professional systems technicians, Kordz understands the installation challenges and performance requirements of a highly transformative AV market. It has evolved its line to simplify deployment of even the most complex cabling infrastructures, ensure reliable connectivity of myriad AV components, and support the increasing bandwidth demands and transmission speeds of current and future technologies.

Combining premium materials and advanced manufacturing techniques in its cabling construction, Kordz’ innovative solutions streamline installation and assure exceptional connectivity, reliability and performance throughout the life of a home or building. Robust, yet flexible, Kordz cables feature smaller connectors without hard edges to facilitate faster, easier installation in a wide range of commercial and residential settings. Each cable and component is individually tested during production for quality assurance and meets stringent performance certifications and fire rating compliance. Thanks to the superior build quality, state-of-the-art features, and adherence to the latest signal transmission standards, cabling from Kordz enables systems technicians to complete projects efficiently and confidently for optimal profitability. 

Per Integrator Requests: First-to-Market, Problem-Solving Cabling Solutions
Kordz showcases its wide range of industry-first cabling and connectivity solutions at Stand #2F500 at ISE 2024. This includes Kordz’ multi-award-winning PRO and PRS SlimCat Network Cable systems, exciting additions to its networking range and extensive line of HDMI cables, as well as a number of brand-new products systems technicians have been asking for. This includes new more environmentally conscious PRO SlimCat Patch Cord BeltPak packaging, a value pack that’s easier than traditional patch cord packaging to open, handle, and dispose of for greater installation efficiency, savings, and less waste. 

“In a world of increasing convergence and technological complexity, ‘small things’ like the calibre of cabling and packaging design make a big difference in the installation ease, functionality of AV systems, and the satisfaction of customers,” says James Chen, Kordz managing director. “We have properly engineered everything, whilst maximising flexibility and robustness and employing the industry’s most sensibly compact connectors for a firm, stable fit. These achievements empower systems technicians with a solid foundation on which to deploy and connect the sophisticated systems of today and tomorrow.”

Back by Popular Demand: The Kordz Termination Challenge
If you’re new to the Kordz brand or simply want to test your skills, there’s no better way to experience how easy it is to handle and terminate Kordz cabling than by competing in the Kordz Termination Challenge. ISE attendees can visit the Kordz exhibit to compete against the clock to win prizes. The record time to beat is 35:05 seconds, posted last year by an Australian integrator at the Integrate trade show in Sydney. “The Termination Challenge is a fun way for integrators to compete against their peers while experiencing first-hand how easy it is to handle our cables and terminate the connectors,” Chen says. “Since launching the challenge at ISE 2023, it’s become a highly popular event at our trade shows around the world. There’s nothing like a little friendly competition to inspire systems technicians to demonstrate the remarkable results they can achieve by using our installation-friendly connectors.” No registration is required; attendees can visit the Kordz exhibit at any time to compete.

Kordz Saves Systems Technicians Installation Time, Money and Packaging Waste with its Environmentally Conscious New Patch Cord Value Pack, BeltPak

Innovative patent pending new Kordz PRO SlimCat Patch Cord BeltPak packaging combines multiple patch cords in a single eco-friendly, tear-off strip for efficient transport, faster, easier handling, and leaves significantly less waste for disposal.

January 16, 2024One of the most tedious exercises systems technicians face when installing networks is the removal of individual patch cords from their packaging. When an average residential networking job might require dozens of patch cords, the process of freighting, storing, unboxing and carrying traditional patch cord packaging equates to an incredible amount of time, space, clean-up and waste. Kordz has solved these nagging issues and reduced the average cost per patch cord by developing a compact, eco-friendly belt that systems technicians can easily carry and open during installation.

Debuting at ISE 2024, Stand #2F500, the Kordz PRO SlimCat Patch Cord BeltPak comprises a multipack strip of perforated, tear-off recyclable paper packs each containing a single patch cord. Each pack can be quickly torn open at one end—no knife necessary ̶ to extract the patch cord without bending it. The BeltPak comes in multiples of 5 or 10 patch cords, making it quick and easy for the systems technician to count and carry the exact amount needed for the job—no guesswork or excess to deal with. 

In addition to hassle-free installation, the eco-friendly paper packaging of the BeltPak Patch Cords produces less waste for disposal and is 100% recyclable—even the cable ties are made of paper. Plus, the patent pending BeltPak design cuts shipping volume and costs significantly less. All things considered, the Kordz PRO SlimCat Patch Cord BeltPak delivers systems technicians incredible value on top of all the popular performance features of the PRO SlimCat line, such as the ’snap-proof’ connector.

As former integrators, we understand the tedium and labour involved in cutting dozens, if not hundreds, of individual patch cord packages before installation can even begin. It’s a task nobody enjoys, slows down a project, and can put the integrity of the patch cord at risk,” says Kordz managing director, James Chen. “The foundational aim of our business at Kordz has always been to make integrators’ jobs easier and more profitable. BeltPak is one more way we are delivering on this promise. A simple change in packaging design can make a huge difference to an integrator’s business while meeting the increasing demand for eco-friendly, time-saving and cost-efficient tech solutions.

Where to See Kordz at ISE 2024
To see Kordz’ new installation- and eco-friendly PRO SlimCat Patch Cord BeltPak and learn how this revolutionary packaging design can reduce labour, cost and waste, please visit Stand #2F500.
