Island Router Gains Nationwide Marketing and Distribution Coverage
PerfTech, creator of the Island® wired router, is poised for expanded Island sales and fulfillment across all corners of the US, further aiding integrators to specify and acquire the Island router for their home and small-business networking projects. “During the past months, the Island team has engaged, signed, and trained a top-notch group of geographically-dispersed manufacturer rep firms and distributors,” stated EVP of Island Sales Tom Gallo, adding “These guys are primed to market, deliver, and support Island as we advance into 2024.”
Manufacturer Representation
Select manufacturer rep firms, early to discover Island’s enterprise-grade speed, capacity, and reliability, conducted months-long evaluations resulting in the enthusiastic addition of Island to their product portfolios. Active rep firms today include: DSG Metro (northeast); Tandem Marketing (north central); SoundTech (west), and Bell & McCoy (south central/Gulf Coast). Dave Silkin, CEO of New York-based DSG Metro, explains, “Our decision to bring the Island router to our dealer network was due to ease of installation, operation, and support. These guys have made the complex simple—easy for both installers and homeowners.”
Distribution
Distributors currently carrying Island include five regional distributors aligned with the PowerHouse Alliance: 21st Century, Davis, Mountain West, PMC, and Sierra Select. After its CEDIA ’22 debut, Island caught the eye of Dennis Holzer, Executive Director of Powerhouse Alliance, who states, “Alliance member distributors are always looking for premium products that differentiate us from all the others. Island does just that. It also opens new doors to light commercial opportunities which is a direction our members are navigating towards.” President of Sierra Select John Tatro adds, “The Island router is a terrific fit for our dealers whose customers demand a premium router that enhances the performance and security of their home automation solutions.” In addition, Dave Silkin’s DSG Distribution supplies Island in the northeast.
