CORTEXA SELECTED BY MICROSOFT TO SHOWCASE DIGITAL HOME TECHNOLOGY AT ELECTRONIC HOUSE EXPO

Austin company chosen for its unique capability to deliver affordable digital home technology to the mass market

Texas homebuilders and muli-tenant developers can now deliver high-end home functionality for a fraction of the price

AUSTIN, TX ­– November 07, 2006 – Cortexa Technology today announced the company has been selected by Microsoft to showcase their digital home solution at the Microsoft Vista Media Center Lounge at the prestigious Electronic House Expo, November 14-17, 2006 in Long Beach, California. 

Microsoft chose Austin-based Cortexa Technology for their unique capability in developing the most advanced home control solution at the most affordable price on the market. 

Cortexa’s technology gives homeowners total control of their digital home by merging their digital entertainment –music, photos, home videos, and live and recorded TV – with all the subsystems in the home – audio, lighting, security, surveillance cameras, irrigation and climate control -- in one complete, easy-to-use, affordable package.

Having launched just one year ago, Cortexa has revolutionized the digital home market.

Once deemed only for the luxury home buyer, home buyers today can have complete digital functionality within their home, at a fraction of the cost of competitor solutions without compromising on technology, functionality, or quality. 

Texas home builders, multi-tenant developers and architects are in a unique position to take advantage of this technology, by working directly with Cortexa in their home state.

“Our pricing hits the sweet spot for the mass market while our technology blows the doors wide open to create fully functional digital homes for a mass market price,” said Tom Goldman, Cortexa’s CEO. “Now architects, builders, and developers of multi-tenant dwellings have a way to really differentiate themselves  by delivering what today’s home buyers really needs in their home, but, until now could not afford.” 

The Cortexa team heads out to Long Beach next week to be on hand to demonstrate the new Cortexa Home Control Solution.  The Microsoft Vista Media Center Lounge is the first live showing of Microsoft Vista with Media Center-based products for the custom electronics trade. At EHX, the expansive Microsoft booth, #1313, will feature digital living room vignettes demonstrating the features, benefits and capabilities of systems built on the new Microsoft Vista platform. 

“We’re really excited that Microsoft has selected Cortexa to be a part of their huge presence at this show,” added Goldman.  “This further validates our belief that the mass market is truly ready for a product like ours at a price that average home buyers can afford.”
