RTI Demo Stations Now Featured at all AVAD Locations

RTI In-Wall Interactive Control Kiosks Slated for 37 AVAD Distribution Centers

EDEN PRAIRIE, MN — November 30, 2006 — Remote Technologies Inc, the leading manufacturer in home control products, and AVAD LLC, America’s leading distributor of custom home electronics, have expanded their partnership with the addition of RTI demonstration stations at every AVAD location.

The demo stations will give dealers a first-hand look at all the great features RTI In-Wall products have to offer. RTI’s RK3 and K4 In-Wall control panels will be featured at the various demo sites. Both the RK3 and the K4 provide touch-sensitive control of distributed audio, lighting control systems, network cameras and more. Every RK3 & K4 demonstration site will allow users to try out these features plus experience Escient Fireball integration, video monitoring and web browsers.

“These demonstration stations allow custom installers to experience RTI In-Wall Controls up close and personal,” said Pete Baker, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for RTI. “Having these stations at every AVAD location will allow more dealers to recognize RTI not only as a manufacturer of hand-held remotes but also as a leader of In-Wall control solutions. It is a convenient resource for those interested in learning more about RTI’s powerful control solutions. We believe this leading-edge concept will take RTI’s recognition to another level.”

“As RTI’s sole supplier, AVAD is proud to provide a platform for the company’s award-winning products,” said Bob Gartland, president of AVAD. “By visiting any of our 37 locations, AVAD dealers can utilize the demo stations to keep informed on the latest and greatest in advanced control solutions — an advantage only AVAD can provide.”

About the RK3

The RK3 In-Wall Touchpanel is a compact color touchpanel that allows users to control entertainment and convenience systems throughout the home. The RK3,which mounts flush in a wall, features a 3.5″ color LCD touchpanel that is small enough to subtly integrate with any room’s decor, yet is detailed enough to display text, graphics, and animations with crisp clarity. The controller is now available exclusively to custom installers at an MSRP of $999.00.

About the K4

The K4 is a color LCD touchpanel designed for flush-mount installations. It provides a self-contained control system for controlling audio/video components, lights, or other electronic systems in the home. It also displays composite video, motion JPEG, and web pages — either full screen or in an adjustable window. The K4 is available to custom installers at an MSRP of $2,499.00

Every demonstration station will also feature RTI’s RP-6; an advanced control system for RTI’s family of universal remote controls. The RP-6 receives trigger codes from RTI remote controls using external IR and RF receivers. The RP-6 is now available exclusively to custom installers at an MSRP of $599.00.
