International Technology Companies Add Major Global Focus to 2007 International CES


    More than 1,150 technology companies from around the world will
    join more than 1,500 U.S. companies in showcasing their latest
    consumer electronics products at the 2007 International CES, the
    world's largest consumer technology tradeshow, January 8-11 in Las
    Vegas, Nevada. These exhibiting companies represent more than 30
    consumer technology categories, including accessories, broadband,
    digital imaging, electronic gaming, high-performance audio, home
    theater, mobile electronics, robotics, VoIP and wireless
    communications.

    The 2007 International CES promises to be the largest and most
    successful in the show's 40-year history, with 2,700 exhibitors
    debuting the latest innovations in consumer technology to an expected
    140,000 industry buyers, distributors, engineers, installers,
    financial analysts, top-level executives, media and industry
    professionals.

    "We have high expectations for the upcoming 2007 International CES
    and the opportunities it creates for our new products," said Robert
    Young, vice president, sales and marketing, for Montreal (Quebec),
    Canada based, Algolith. "With our flagship Dragonfly, and new Mosquito
    HDMI and Flea HDMI digital video enhancers, we'll be showcasing the
    most effective products videophiles can use to improve their systems'
    picture quality."

    CES continues to educate attendees on the latest developments and
    trends in the consumer electronics industry. The 2007 International
    CES will house 280 conference sessions featuring more than 860 of the
    industry's leading speakers helping attendees discover the newest
    trends, strategies and profit opportunities in the consumer technology
    industry. Conference tracks begin Saturday, January 6, 2007 and focus
    on key industry segments such as digital imaging, emerging
    electronics, gaming, mobile electronics, and high-performance audio
    and home theater.

    "We can't wait to participate in the 2007 International CES. At
    the show, we will be exhibiting HDMI Splitters and HDMI Switches that
    are popular in the consumer electronics market," said Carinna Yeh,
    marketing manager of Ever Connect Technology based in Taipei, Taiwan.
    "Not only does the show provide us a very good opportunity to meet
    with our existing partners, but also to exhibit our brand new HDMI
    interfaced products to all our prospective business partners."

    The 2007 International CES will host more than 20 market-specific
    TechZones. Half of these TechZones will be housed at Innovations Plus
    at the Sands/Venetian which is also home to the award-winning
    Innovations Showcase. These TechZones will highlight the latest
    innovations, technologies and trends in consumer electronics including
    Blu-ray, Bluetooth, IPTV, consumer VoIP, connected home entertainment
    and gaming.

    "The 2007 International CES is a great business opportunity to
    promote our newest product innovations and to meet, interact and form
    relationships with current and potential clients," said Meir Mordechai
    founder and president of Morel in Israel. "This year we will unveil
    our newest technological innovation in home and car audio."

    The Sands Expo and Convention Center also includes the
    Anytime-Anywhere TechArena, which showcases companies that make the
    dream of having electronics ubiquitously available a reality.
    TechZones featured within this area include: The Download,
    ExpressCard, Podcasting and IPTV.

    "This year's CES will be the first time we showcase our products
    at the show along with our daughter company, HR US. Many of our
    international customers will be visiting CES, to take advantage of the
    fastening systems we are offering to manufacturers of mobile phones
    and navigation sets," said Harald Richter of Pforzheim, German-based
    Herbert Richter Metallwaren. "CES is of major interest to us and to US
    HR, an import and sales subsidiary, selling wireless programs, due to
    the large number of CE retailer buyers on the show floor."

    "We participate in consumer electronics and telecom shows all over
    the world, and none of them reaches the quality, the excitement or the
    prestige that the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas has to
    offer," said Radomir Jovanovic, president and CEO of SPiDCOM
    Technologies, in Bourg La Reine, France. "This year, we will exhibit
    our mass produced SPC200-e chip for 224 Mbps communications over the
    powerlines and the coaxial cables, as well as several partner products
    based on it. We will also unveil our market perspectives for our
    coming HomePlug AV compliant chip, which has received tremendous
    response from service providers and consumer electronics
    manufacturers. This chip ideally completes our high-speed powerline
    communication product range."
