Austin, TX (PRWEB) June 6, 2008 -- uControl, a leading provider of next-generation home security and automation solutions, today announced that NXTcomm has selected uControl's Home Security, Monitoring and Automation (SMA) Platform winner of Eos Award for Excellence in Technology Innovation. This industry award identifies vendors and suppliers of public and enterprise network technologies and products that represent the most promising of new technologies present at NXTcomm 2008.
"NXTcomm's recognition of our SMA Platform validates the industry's desire for an open approach to the Digital Home," said Jim Johnson, President of uControl. "We are excited to provide service providers with the first SMA platform that supports redundant connectivity, cameras, home automation and interoperability with existing alarm panels."
The uControl SMA Platform is an industry-changing software platform that allows service providers to deploy cutting edge SMA services. Announced in May, the Platform, accompanied by the uControl TouchScreen, combine to create an open, technology-agnostic infrastructure that works equally well for all homes whether they have an existing wired alarm system or require a new wireless alarm system to be installed.

Beyond home security, the uControl SMA Platform delivers the next generation of digital home services that customers are demanding.
