CEO Akram "AK" Khalis to Join ELECTRIFY and Source to Sink Panels on the Future of Smart Building Infrastructure at Realcomm in Savannah
NEW YORK, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MHT Technologies will showcase its latest innovations in PoE and DC-powered smart building solutions at Realcomm | IBcon 2025 in Savannah, Georgia. CEO Akram "AK" Khalis will also take the stage in two key sessions exploring the future of power infrastructure.
On June 2nd, Khalis joins ELECTRIFY, a Preconference Accelerator focused on the growing shift toward direct current (DC) power. On June 3rd, he will participate in the general conference panel "DC-Powered Buildings: From Source to Sink,"addressing how DC-based infrastructure reduces energy waste, streamlines installation, and supports sustainable building performance.
"The shift to DC power isn't an idea for the future. The shift is happening now," said Khalis. He emphasized that in major cities like New York, the importance of this transition lies in reducing carbon footprints and meeting aggressive sustainability goals. "MHT is proud to be at the forefront with technologies delivering real results today."
A Vision for U.S. Manufacturing
Known for staying ahead of industry trends, Khalis recognized early on the risks of relying on overseas supply chains. Under his leadership during the pandemic, MHT made the strategic decision to consolidate all manufacturing in the United States, bringing production home to Staten Island, NY.
"Over the years, we've had manufacturing in China, Europe, and New York. When COVID hit, we consolidated all production right here in New York. This means that whether you're in the US or abroad, you're getting the same high-quality, resilient products backed by dependable support. And if you're in the US, that means no tariffs for you!
This move has strengthened MHT's ability to ensure product reliability, accelerate delivery, and provide exceptional support, all while reducing exposure to geopolitical and logistical disruptions.
Real-World Results
At Realcomm, MHT will spotlight several recent high-impact projects that showcase the versatility and scalability of its platform, including the installation of advanced shade systems at the New York City office of a major asset management firm. Powered by MHT's Inspextor platform, these PoE window shades leverage AI to automate performance and optimize daylight management, delivering both energy savings and occupant comfort.
