WALL-SMART redesigns its line of ceiling mounts for the universal application of multiple brands of access points, making the specification and installation of networking components faster and easier for builders, architects, and technology integrators.
Las Vegas, Nevada (January 4, 2023) – WALL-SMART, a multi-award-winning manufacturer of innovative mounting hardware that enables a wide variety of smart devices to be recessed flush with wall and ceiling surfaces, introduces a simple, straightforward way to hide Wi-Fi access points from view. WALL-SMART’s new line of Universal Access Point Mounts has been meticulously designed with all the appropriate ports and sizing requirements to accommodate nearly any brand of Wi-Fi access point on the market today.
Created for a universal fit of popular Wi-Fi access points from CommScope, Juniper Networks, POEWIT, Snap One, and Ubiquiti, among others, the new mounts simplify the specification process for builders, architects, designers, and technology integrators. Rather than searching for and stocking a brand-
specific mount, building professionals can rely on 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 helps deliver high-performance Wi-Fi 6 connectivity without compromising the aesthetics of the home environment.
WALL-SMART addresses every detail in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of each Universal Access Point Mount, which comes in small, medium, and large sizes. It includes the necessary hardware for installation in both new and existing homes, incorporates technology to ensure exceptional Wi-Fi performance, and affords easy access to the access point for service. Additionally, the mount has been designed for installation in any orientation and to ensure proper air ventilation and heat dissipation to protect the access point from overheating.
“Wi-Fi access points are a necessary component of modern homes that often clash with the home design. They also come in a variety of form factors that had historically required product specifiers to wade through a long list of SKUs to find the most appropriate mount. Our Universal Access Point Mount addresses both issues,” says WALL-SMART Co-CEO and Founder Galia Ben-Dor. “The Universal Access Point mount represents a complete redesign of the line to simplify the installation process from product procurement to completion of the project experience.”

WALL-SMART’s broad range of flush wall mounts helps home builders, architects, designers, and systems integrators minimize the appearance of iPads, Wi-Fi access points, touchscreens, voice assistants, and more.
Las Vegas, Nevada (January 4, 2023) – WALL-SMART, a multi-award-winning manufacturer of custom wall mounts, understands the challenges builders, architects, designers, and systems integrators face when adding popular technologies like touchscreens, tablets, voice assistants, security cameras, Wi-Fi access points, and other home tech devices into homes.

Developed for new construction and retrofit applications, the innovative wall and ceiling mounts turn home tech devices into natural, seamless extensions of wall or ceiling materials, rendering them dramatically less conspicuous yet still easy and convenient to use.
“Technology has become a necessity for most households, but that doesn’t mean the home 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 was conceived and bases the design of every product we develop. We think every home should be as beautiful as it is smart, and our mounting solutions give builders, architects, designers, technology integrators, and their clientele even more ways to achieve this objective with ease and simplicity.”
WALL-SMART showcases at IBS 2023, Booth W2264, a variety of design-friendly flush wall and ceiling mounts from its portfolio, including mounts for the newest generation of Apple iPad tablets, an all-inclusive mount that accommodates multiple brands of Wi-Fi access points, and a mount made for the installation of technology within masonry walls. These new products join WALL-SMART’s diverse family of discreet mounting solutions for installation in drywall, as well as marble, glass, wood, concrete, and other solid surfaces.
Each of WALL-SMART’s wall and ceiling mounts is custom-designed, -engineered, and made with a specific home tech product in mind. This attention to detail ensures not only a seamless, flush appearance but optimal convenience of use and quality of performance. Included in the WALL-SMART line are mounts for best-in-brand devices, including Sonos Beam and Arc soundbars, Apple iPad tablets, Lutron lighting keypads, Control4 and Crestron home automation touchscreens and keypads, Savant low-voltage keypads, Araknis Wi-Fi access points, IC Realtime security cameras, Honeywell home security keypads, Legrand light switches, and more.

The new design- and installation-friendly selection of Flush Wall Mounts for Apple iPads recesses the device flush with the wall surface. Builders, architects, designers, and systems integrators can now blend these ubiquitous mobile devices beautifully into the home
environment where they won’t clash with the interior design, clutter coffee tables, or go misplaced.

WALL-SMART’s Frameless Flush Mount breaks new ground by enabling builders, architects, designers, and systems integrators to easily blend technology into the tough, rigid walls of masonry homes.
Las Vegas, Nevada, (January 4, 2023) – Masonry construction is on the rise, and for good reason. Highly durable and resilient, it can withstand all types of weather; resist moisture, termites, and fire damage; and insulate exceptionally well. However, installing keypads, touchscreens, and other popular smart home technologies into solid, thick wall surfaces made of concrete, brick, plaster, and other rigid materials has historically been a difficult exercise for builders, architects, and systems integrators. WALL-SMART has developed a solution to this all-too-common problem.
Designed, engineered, and manufactured to simplify and beautify the installation of a wide range of wall-mounted technologies, its new patent-pending Frameless Flush Mount provides a seamless fit between rugged wall surfaces and sleek keypads, switches, touch panels, tablets, and more without sacrificing the architectural integrity of the structure or the performance of the device. Homes and buildings made of masonry can now provide the smart benefits of technology many buyers have come to expect in addition to unquestionable strength and durability. Furthermore, builders, designers, and architects can differentiate their businesses with a technology solution that’s simple to deploy and attractive to tech-savvy homebuyers.
The revolutionary Frameless Flush Mount features a depth calibration mechanism to ensure a flush appearance. Once the device has been securely mounted and the wall seams covered with a matching material, it looks like a natural part of the home or building with no compromise in performance. The Frameless Flush Mount achieves a level of installation simplicity and aesthetic appeal of requisite technology that has been missing in masonry construction.
“We wanted to give homebuilders, architects, designers, and systems integrators a simple solution for flush mounting smart devices into the types of wall surfaces that until now were often unaccommodating,” says WALL-SMART Co-CEO and Founder Galia Ben-Dor. “The Plaster Wall Mount achieves a level of installation beauty and simplicity that’s been historically difficult to accomplish with other integration techniques.”

Listening solution has legacy of outstanding performance and reliability; can extend usefulness of competitor systems
BLUFFDALE, UTAH – December 6, 2022 – Listen Technologies Corporation, the leading provider of advanced wireless listening solutions for 24 years, will showcase the full capabilities of ListenIR at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2023 in Booth 3P750.
ListenIR from Listen Technologies transmits clear, focused sound via infrared (IR) light directly to the listener without amplifying ambient noise. The product offers reliable coverage and a cost-effective and easy way to install a solution for assistive listening, interpretation, and other wireless audio applications. ListenIR iDSP (Intelligent Digital Signal Processing) receivers are compatible with other manufacturers’ transmitters/radiators and provide superior audio quality and a better user interface than other available receivers. They also can extend the usefulness of systems that have ceased production.
ListenIR differs from other infrared assistive listening systems in the market with patented technology that offers twice the infrared power and up to six times the coverage area. The result is that ListenIR users experience fewer audio dropouts and dead zones, especially compared to other manufacturers’ infrared assistive listening systems.
“Flexibility and reliability are crucial qualities of any listening system,” said Maile Keone, president and CEO of Listen Technologies. “ListenIR is a tried-and-true solution that delivers exceptional sound clarity and supports multiple applications. Our partners regularly recommend ListenIR because they know it consistently performs well and is backed by Listen Technologies’ support.”
How It Works
ListenIR systems include a multi-channel transmitter, iDSP software, receivers, and ear speakers, headphones, or earbuds. Venue audio from an AV system, speaker/presenter microphone, or sound system is routed to a transmitter. The transmitter receives and amplifies the incoming audio signal and broadcasts it via infrared light to associated receivers that users wear on lanyards around their necks. Listeners can hear the audio transmitted to the receiver with headphones or earbuds attached to the receiver. They also can use an integrated neck loop lanyard to listen through a t-coil-equipped hearing aid or cochlear implant.
ListenIR is ideal for conference centers, classrooms, courtrooms, and boardrooms where confidentiality is critical since there is no spillover into adjacent rooms. ListenIR receivers can also be used with other manufacturer’s transmitters/radiators. This is helpful for venues with competing infrared systems that want to acquire more receivers but can no longer procure them through the original manufacturer.
Additional Features and Benefits
- Thoughtfully-designed receivers – ListenIR receivers are small and lightweight. They are constructed with low loss, impact-resistant, infrared transparent materials that allow the receiver to pick up infrared light from all directions for the best reception.
- Easy to use management software – ListenIR is simple to install, manage, and maintain. The Listen iDSP software suite makes it easy to configure receivers and customize channel names, run diagnostics, update firmware, manage inventory and guest check-in and check-out of receivers.
- ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant – A neck loop/lanyard is available for venues to offer listeners with cochlear implants or hearing aids with a telecoil.
- Extended battery life – ListenIR receivers incorporate advanced, non-proprietary rechargeable batteries that offer long life and reliable power.
Availability
All ListenIR products are in stock and available to ship globally. To learn more about ListenIR and experience its full functionality, please visit Listen Technologies at ISE 2023 in Booth 3P750.
