FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Selective Call Intercom System by On-Q/Legrand Exceeds all Initial Sales Goals

Effective Combination of Design and Functionality Driving Intense Demand

 

Harrisburg, PA, June 30, 2008 - On-Q/Legrand, the leader in home systems, announced today that it has exceeded annual sales goal for the Cat 5e Selective Call Intercom System in less than three months. Sales of the award-winning Selective Call Intercom System, which began shipping in April, have surpassed expectations due to the product’s superior quality, easy installation and elegant design.

“We designed the Selective Call Intercom System with the needs of both installers and homeowners as our top priority,” said Bill Bruggemeier, product manager for On-Q/Legrand. “Its early success substantiates our goal to create unprecedented functionality and convenience for our customers.”

Popular features of the Selective Call Intercom System include a high-resolution color LCD interface with customizable room names; the ability to support three separate conversations simultaneously; “page all” functionality to communicate with the entire house; and a “hands-free reply” setting to respond without pressing a button. The system also recently won an Innovative Housing Technology Award in the “Networking” category.

The Selective Call Intercom is based upon On-Q’s new Q-Link Communications Protocol, which enables the system to auto-discover all units, streamlining the installation process. During initial set up, remote units in the home beep for identification, allowing the installer to accurately name locations without traveling from room to room. Additionally, the system features a self-healing capability which causes de-activated units to drop off without hindering the performance of the rest of the system.

Beyond its functionality, the Selective Call Intercom System offers an innovative design that accentuates the décor of a home. The system is available as part of the Studio Collection, On-Q’s globally-inspired line of products that combine innovative technology with inspired design. The Studio Collection includes a suite of wall plates and devices in 17 bold colors with a screwless finish and titanium edging.

Additional installation features include:

  • Ability to dynamically rank customized room names according to frequency called
  • Innovative, high-quality microphone and speaker for clear, static-free sound
  • Local mute and monitor
  • Modular and scalable – System grows up to 32 rooms or locations by cascading eight location modules.
  • Variable hands-free reply time – Installers can increase or decrease the hands-free reply system to meet customer preferences.
  • Unique, digital door tone options
  • Structured wiring-based – System requires only a single run of Cat 5 to each location
  • Common mounting hardware – Locations mount in standard two-gang electrical box or low voltage bracket.
