(November 8, 2006 - New York, NY) - CellSTART has been recognized as a 2007 International CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards honoree. The awards were announced in New York City on November 8, 2006. Honorees will be unveiled at 2007 International CES, to be held January 8 - 11, 2007 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
CellSTART allows users to control keyless entry, remote start and vehicle security systems through cell phones. The product uses proprietary software that provides a graphical interface on the cell phone for functions such as unlocking and locking doors, starting and stopping the engine, and providing notifications to users in the event of vehicle theft. By utilizing cellular technology, CellSTART connects people to their vehicles regardless of distance or obstructions, unlike the current remote start and vehicle security systems being sold today. CellSTART will retail for $300 with a $99.00 annual service fee.
CellSTART was developed by Crayon Interface, and is manufactured and distributed by JBS Technologies. CellSTART is supported by Crayon Interface’s Moshi wireless platform technology. Moshi® turns cell phones into remote control and monitoring devices through graphical software downloaded over-the-air to phones and a data network for dispatching messages between cell phones and various devices.
"CES is the premier venue for showcasing the latest advancements in consumer electronics," states Garrick Pohl, Crayon Interface CEO. "Winning a CES Innovation Award with our partner JBS is a testament to the appeal of CellSTART for consumers looking for the latest in automotive and wireless technologies."
Since 1989, the prestigious Innovations Design and Engineering Awards have given consumer technology manufacturers and developers an opportunity to have their newest products judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, independent engineers and members of the trade press. Submissions are judged based on user value, unique and novel features, contributions to the quality of life, as well as aesthetic and design qualities.
