MANHASSET, NY -- International CES is always chuck full of goodies for the consumer and this year's event in Las Vegas is no exception, as far as the TechZones are concerned.
One of the more seemingly mundane TechZones is Eureka Park where one may not expect to see what one perceives to be significant. It is a dedicated area showcasing innovative start-ups and entrepreneurs and is partially sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
According to the organizers, it is designed to benefit budding entrepreneurs, fledgling start-ups, home grown innovation and small companies looking to gain footing in the consumer electronics industry.
One such company, Current Werks, has introduced what they claim are two industry-changing, energy-saving USB wall outlets: the Quattro and Duo, which the company will be exhibiting in the Eureka Park TechZone.
The Quattro replaces a standard electrical wall outlet with four USB charging ports, whose combined output of 22Watts makes the Quattro the most powerful in-wall charging solution available anywhere, according to the company.
The Quattro also features an innovative tamper-resistant door that when closed completely eliminates standby power, also known as vampire power. The Quattro has the ability to replace four bulky USB AC adapters with one wall outlet.
The Duo features two powerful in-wall USB charging ports delivering 16Watts of output power from a standard 110V wall outlet. The Duo's advanced power management design gives the consumer a total of four charging solutions, two USB charging ports and two standard US/CAN sockets from a single wall outlet. This makes the Duo the second most powerful in-wall charging solution available in the market today, surpassed only by the Quattro. The Duo supports 15Amp and 20Amp wall receptacles, according to Current Werks.
"These products are the latest innovations in green tech charging," said Patrick Manning, CEO, Current Werks, in a statement.
Los Gatos, Calif.,-based Current Werks LLC innovates in green power storage and charging devices for portable consumer electronics.
