Arestar (R*), LLC is on track with Chicago road show
July 01, 2008–Chicago, IL
Arestar (R*), LLC is setting up shop in Chicago and is focused on Commercial Automation while still maintaining it presence in South Florida where we are basing our Home and Assistive Technology businesses
Arestar (R*), LLC opened a Chicago office that will focus on high end and customized PC based automation for high rises, both commercial and residential. Ray Casey, Owner of Arestar, LLC announced today that they will begin a "go to market" campaign featuring Exceptional Innovation’s Life|ware and Microsoft’s Communications Server as the platform for a turn key, PC centric presentation system that ties together, Environment, Lighting, Presentation, Communications, Automation, Application Sharing, Collaboration and Video Conferencing tightly integrated into an Windows Vista Ultimate/Windows Server 2008 client/server solution bundle.
"This will revolutionize the way business people and their clients interact with, within and amongst their board and conference rooms. For much too long businesses have called their strategic conference rooms a War Room, yet the technology in these rooms is archaic and mostly inoperable or hard to understand. That is hardly what one expects when we think of a technically state of the art War Room, and we are about the change that radically…", states Ray Casey, founder of Arestar (R*), LLC. He purports that the synthesis of automation control, media editing and playback and audio/video communications (VoIP and IPTV) into a Window Vista Ultimate Media Center control consol is the "Killer FUNCTIONAL application" that will finally transform the corporate board room and/or Master meeting room.
Life|ware, an automation control software with a very robust scripting tool, from Exceptional Innovations, is a "plug in" for Microsoft Vista Media Center (32 and 64 bit version). Life|ware uses a Media Center PC as a hub for controlling, managing, displaying and automating lighting, cameras, HVAC controls, and various other appliances (like screens/projectors/touch panels/etc). Life|ware also completes the coupling between Microsoft Vista Media Center, Windows Home Server and Xbox 360 based media extenders by integrating control, feedback and presentation of content and services offered by all three product sets. In its commercial incarnation, the Life|ware software will perform as the same HUB but this time connecting Commercial Automation components and completing the client server connection between Vista Media Center and industrial strength media and application/collaboration services such as those available on Microsoft Communications Server.
"When you bundle a Microsoft Vista Media Center (client) solution with a standard remote control, Microsoft’s Communications Server (server) and the Exceptional Innovations, Life|ware automation software (software) you have a platform that makes as much sense as chocolate combined with peanut butter… Two applications (hardware/software) that work great together but up until now they have been separate, and we plan to change that." The R* vision for complete control of a board room is to bundle a virtual remote control that can run on a Windows PC, PDA or smart phone that will allow you to easily manage all aspects of the automation, presentation and communications solution. Additionally the system will be coupled with a real time Assistive communications options that will allow a technician to act as a conference/meeting concierge/operator always on standby before, during and after a meeting/event.
Arestar (R*) professionals synthesize, integrate and manage: audio/visual, Computer, Internet, security, automation, entertainment and educational media and applications across your primary residence, vehicle, boat and business all via your PDA/cell phone. Information and control at your fingertips.
