SYNNEX Corporation Develops Mobile App for INSTEON Home and Office Control

synnex-logo2Greenville, SC – June 3, 2014 – SYNNEX Corporation (NYSE: SNX), a leading distributor of IT products and services, announced that it has developed a newly enhanced and exclusive mobile app for INSTEON, creator of best-selling home automation and control technology, to be used on Microsoft Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 devices. New Age Electronics, a division of SYNNEX Corporation, currently distributes INSTEON products to the retail channel.

The launch of the new mobile app complements the INSTEON product line and enables SYNNEX and New Age Electronics to provide commercial and retail customers with a cost-effective, cutting-edge mobile solution to monitor home and office automation. With the help of SYNNEX, INSTEON products are also now available from MicrosoftStore.com and will be available from Microsoft retail stores across the US in early July. The INSTEON mobile app is currently available for download on the Windows and Windows Phone Stores.

According to a recent market report published by Transparency Market Research, the Home Automation market is expected to reach 16.4 billion by 2019, growing at a CAGR of 24.6% from 2013-2019. By developing the Windows and Windows Phone app, SYNNEX brings benefits of INSTEON’s enhanced control, monitoring and energy savings to homes and businesses and supports the constantly evolving, worldwide transition to a connected lifestyle.

SYNNEX’ Mobile App Development Team rapidly developed the mobile application, which comes with exclusive new features and makes home and office automation easier than ever before for INSTEON users. INSTEON devices turn any home into a connected home, giving users the ability to set up lighting scenes, schedule lights to automatically turn on and off and monitor their homes via wireless cameras from any mobile device. INSTEON kits and modules allow users to receive instant notification alerts when doors and windows are opened or closed, or when there is a water leak in the home, all via the free Windows and Windows Phone app.

“As a distributor focused on enabling its customers to improve their businesses through innovative, value-added technology solutions, SYNNEX is very pleased to augment the INSTEON product line with the new and enhanced mobile app,” said Peter Larocque, President, North America, Distribution, SYNNEX Corporation. “Part of our continued investment is to make emerging solutions more readily available to businesses and consumers via user-friendly processes such as mobile applications and to simultaneously help our vendors and customers identify opportunities for collaboration and mutual success in emerging markets.”
