Israel well represented at CES 2011
International Consumer Electric Show in Las Vegas included 16 exhibitors whose head office is based in Jewish state, many more which have sub-offices in Israel such as Intel and Microsoft
The annual show, held at the Las Vegas Convention Center between January 6-9, featured hundreds of exhibitors from around the world and with more than four decades of success, the CES has become the soapbox for some of the biggest announcements in the electronic industry.
One would expect that Israel, with its well documented history of successful technology companies, would have a strong showing at this year’s CES; and it did. There were 16 exhibitors whose head office is based in Israel and there were many more which have sub-offices in Israel such as Intel and Microsoft.
Out of the 16 companies, there was a mix of early round and well established. Some of the Israeli companies exhibiting were:
PrimeSense: The company responsible for the technology behind the Kinect controller for the Microsoft Xbox 360 gaming system. PrimeSense has already announced, pre-CES, that they will partner with Asus to release a new motion based controller for media centre PCs.
Jungo: Founded in 1998, Jungo is a leading provider of Connectivity and Media software for local and broadband connectivity solutions. Jungo’s software is deployed in over 500 million connectivity products in hundreds of designs. Jungo is an NDS Group company.
Morel: An award-winning manufacture of a wide range of speakers and audio drivers for car and home. Morel has been in operation for over 35 years and their products are sold in over 55 countries worldwide.
Omek Interactive: Much like PrimeSense, Omek is a provider of gesture recognition software for natural user interfaces. Through Omek, any hardware platform can provide touchless screens, allowing users to interact without any controller, pointer, stylus or need to physically touch the screen.
The remaining Israeli exhibitors were: Accel Telecom, Celeno Communications (Israel) Ltd., Cyber1 Ltd, Grippity, Idesia Ltd., Jinni, MiniFrame Ltd., Siano Mobile Silicon, Snapkeys, Spetrotec Ltd., Wisair
