The company sought to disrupt the industry trend of integrating expensive and restrictive user interfaces integrated into the wireless security system. Helix breaks through this gap by embracing smartphones and tablets as the primary user interface. This ensures the platform keeps pace with the consumers' appetite to always have the latest and greatest phones and tablets. The Helix platform delivers an innovative, hardened security platform to professional dealers. This architecture extends the reach of the security industry into the expanding connected home space. "Resolution has always served the professional security dealers well," said Brian Seemann, President of Resolution Products. "While Helix is a breakthrough for the security industry, we are seeing a growing opportunities in adjacent channels that can leverage the value of a UL Listed, battery backed Internet-of-things (IoT) gateway. Not only is Helix the first professional security system designed as a gateway. It is also the first multi-radio IoT gateway desgned to be always on, and always available." Helix delivers one of the most responsive platforms in the security industry through a partnership with SecureNet Technologies out of Orlando Florida. The SecureNet platform offers a comprehensive suite of security and home automation features, and boasts an "always on" connection to each system ensuring near immediate response to all consumer actions. This feature further differentiates the Helix offering to the industry. "The SecureNet Platform overcomes chronic shortcomings found in established interactive service offerings," Said Andrew Wilson, CEO of SecureNet. "For example, most systems use a polling mechanism rather than maintaining an active, always-on, and supervised network connection with the cloud. With support for Helix and Resolution's Interactive Gateway (News - Alert) Modules, the SecureNet offering now reaches the widest array of security platforms of any provider." The CEA Techhome Mark of Excellence award is the latest recognition for the Helix platform, which was previously recognized by Residential Systems as the CEDIA Best of Show, and by Security Sales and Integration as a Top 30 Innovation award winner.
