“We are extremely pleased to bring such a unique and complimentary solution to the marketplace with a partner such as Honeywell,” says Doug Fikse, president of OnQ. “Our alliance will provide consumers with a powerful, integrated solution to their home networking and home control needs.” “Never before has the industry witnessed the combined forces of leaders in home control solutions and home networking,” adds Jay Schrankler, vice president of Honeywell Home Comfort and Systems. “Consumers can enjoy greater control over their future-ready home networks and home systems. This alliance strengthens Honeywell’s solutions for Web-enabled, future-ready homes that are more comfortable, secure and convenient.”
