NASHVILLE, TN--(Marketwire - Jun 27, 2012) - ESX Conference -- After winning a host of major industry awards in 2011, including top honors at the Electronic Security Expo, 2GIG Technologies repeated by taking the overall prize at the 2012 Maximum Impact Awards held at the Electronic Security Expo (ESX) this week in Nashville, TN. The company's Go! 2.0 next generation control panel was chosen as Best Overall Product by a distinguished panel of judges drawn from the leadership and ranks of ESX's owner/sponsor associations, the Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA) and the Electronic Security Association (ESA). In addition, the Go! 2.0 was named the Best Alarm Equipment in the Wireless Alarm System category.

"The products and services honored with a Maximum Impact Award this year are delivering true value to security integration and monitoring companies," says John Cerasuolo, President of ESX All Star Host Company ADS Security and a member of this year's voting panel.

According to Lance Dean, Co-Founder of 2GIG Technologies, "It is a little surreal but we are extremely proud to have won ESX's overall Maximum Impact Award two years in a row. Our customers challenged us to continue innovating and to stay ahead of the competition. We answered with our Go! 2.0 platform, and this award validates our efforts. This is another game-changer for our industry."

2GIG's Go! 2.0 panel includes a 7" color touch screen and expands upon the functionality and ease of use of the original Go! Control system. Go! 2.0 includes enhanced energy management diagnostics and home automation tools, support of multiple HD cameras, and an on-board DVR for storing and playback of video feeds. Go! 2.0 is the perfect solution for the step-up residential and small commercial markets.

The Maximum Impact Awards showcase products and services that help security integration and monitoring companies meet their customer needs and grow their profits, while placing a critical perspective on the impact that new and recently introduced products and services have on security integration and monitoring businesses.
