The collective Group of companies’ most ambitious Dealer outreach program to date will kick-off at the Spring 2009 EHX from March 11th through 14th in Orlando, Florida before officially embarking on its 50 city North American tour on March 31st. ‘Takin’ it to the Streets’ underscores a landmark product launch year as well as the introduction of major new selling promotions developed to help the Group’s Dealer base prosper during these different times. The announcement was made by Paul Starkey, ELAN’s Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

Among the product highlights debuting on the tour is the red-hot new HomeLogic Mobile Control app for the Apple® iPhone™ and iPod® touch. Already receiving rave advance reviews and accolades posted on the Apple iTunes® App Store site by both the trade and end users, HomeLogic Mobil Control is a feature-rich new iPhone and iPod touch application for instant-on, 2-way whole-house control from both inside the home and from anywhere around the world outside the home with access via the Edge, 3G networks or any WIFI Internet connection.

In addition, HomeLogic will preview tight new integration capabilities with both ELAN and Sunfire products, additional interface templates, the latest third party product drivers, and some key new packages to help Dealers sell control systems more easily than ever.
