CEDIA Expo, Xantech’s XIS100 iPod Docking Station was awarded
an EXCITE Award by CustomRetailer, a leading publication for custom
installers, integrators and retailers for various new and cutting-edge
products, ventures and technology. The contestants are judged based
on their design, innovation, engineering and market presence, with the
most outstanding products taking home the honors.
“We are
proud to be recognized for our product line,” commented Graham
Hallett, Xantech President. “To receive these honors from industry
experts and peers is validation that our engineering innovation is successfully
translating into market-driven products for system integrators and consumers
alike.”
