ISE 2015 Best of Show – Installation’s award winners

Read about the winning entries in Installation's Best of Show Awards for ISE 2015.

Installation is pleased to announce the winning entries in our ISE 2015 Best of Show Awards. Companies showing new products at ISE 2015 submitted their entries ahead of the event, and were visited at their stands by one of our judging team.

Here are our comments on each of the winning entries.

Analog Way Ascender 16

The price point of this multi-screen seamless switcher opens up the technology to a whole new market. The ability to be coupled with a second unit brings top-end functionality at a similar cost to larger models in the range (Ascender 32 and 48) and reduces risk to the end user in investing.

Clear-Com FreeSpeak II

Scalable, able to operate dependably in challenging operating conditions and built to cope with harsh environments, the FreeSpeak II is a high-performing wireless intercom that is simple to operate and to manage. A notable reduction in latency is one of the secrets of the system’s performance.
