West Kingston, Rhode Island - November 16th, 2015 - Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and automation, today announced it has been named a CES 2016 Innovation Awards Honoree in the category of “Portable Power” for its Back-UPS Connect BGE50ML uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers and engineers as well as members of the trade media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronics products across 27 product categories.
The Back-UPS Connect BGE50ML is a first-of-its-kind combination UPS and mobile power pack engineered to protect and power home networking equipment including routers, modems, and VoIP phones. It also supplies power to mobile phones and tablets for users while on-the-go. The system offers rotating outlets and three USB charging ports and can provide two and a half hours of flexible, safe charging and protection for mobile devices and networks, particularly during critical power situations such as storms and outages. The fast-charging mobile power pack has an internal lithium-ion battery capable of five or more charges to a smartphone and a full charge to a tablet.
“The home network has become an integral part of life, providing a critical link to family, friends and remote work environments. Power emergencies break that link during the time we potentially need it the most," said Colin Campbell, vice president, Home & Business Networks, Schneider Electric. "As a CES 2016 Innovation Awards Honoree, the Back-UPS Connect BGE50ML breaks the mold of the traditional UPS by providing lithium-based backup power to both the network and mobile devices for power interruptions lasting hours, and by giving users the option to take that power with them to charge mobiles while on-the-go.”
The Back-UPS Connect BGE50ML will be displayed at the Innovation Awards Showcase, booth #833139, at CES 2016, which runs January 6-9, 2016, in Las Vegas, Nevada. It will also be displayed at the Schneider Electric booth #70246. [remove]
