MIDDLE ATLANTIC PRODUCTS PROVIDES UNITED TECHNOLOGY SERVICE WITH ENCLOSURE SOLUTIONS FOR UPS CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS A/V SYSTEM UPGRADE

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, June 9, 2004 — Citing its ability to address all thermal, cable and space management issues critical to the success of commercial A/V systems, Middle Atlantic Products’ leading-edge enclosure systems were selected by United Technology Service (UTS) for the A/V system upgrade at United Parcel Service’s (UPS) corporate headquarters. Middle Atlantic Products SRS Series Slide Out and MRK Series Vertical enclosure systems house all active A/V components for the UPS Oberkotter training and presentation room.

The A/V system upgrade includes a standard lectern and a hands-free audio system featuring ceiling mounted and wireless microphones and loudspeakers. Also included in the Oberkotter training and presentation room is a 15” video touch panel to preview information displayed on large-screen projectors and a press feed where the press can plug their recording devices into the provided UPS interface.

“Middle Atlantic Products continues to develop the highest quality enclosure systems to accommodate all A/V system equipment,” said Kim Butler, Project Manager, UTS. “As digital A/V systems become more and more sophisticated, the need for enclosure systems to effectively manage heated air and cable becomes more prevalent and Middle Atlantic Products enclosure systems meet these challenges efficiently.”

Middle Atlantic’s SRS Series slide out rack system houses equipment that requires easy access to both the front and back for servicing. Integral to the design of the SRS Series is its unique slide out function, offering A/V integrators easy access to rear connections of equipment, and effectively manages space restrictions, by sliding in and out of a wall.

Serving as the backbone of the A/V systems upgrade are two Middle Atlantic Products MRK Series gangable enclosure systems. Designed for applications that require advanced cable and thermal management solutions the UL-Listed MRK Series features abundant lacing points and knockouts to facilitate cable management. UTS has also implemented Middle Atlantic Products active thermal management solutions, including vented front doors, fan tops and 10” fans, to effectively manage high-volumes of heated air generated from digital equipment.

“As digital technology is becoming the standard for A/V systems, we have engineered our line of enclosure systems and accessories to provide the highest levels of thermal, cable and space management,” said Mark Tracy, Director of Marketing, Middle Atlantic Products. “The decision to install our enclosure systems at UPS reaffirms the ability of our products to address the everyday challenges that installers and end-users continuously encounter.”
