Recognizing the most noteworthy new products and technologies, CE Pro is pleased to announce the winners of the 2020 CE Pro BEST (Best Electronics Systems Technologies) Product Awards.

“We’re privileged to recognize the many manufacturers that provide custom integrators with exciting, cutting-edge and very practical products to add to their businesses,” says Arlen Schweiger, Executive Editor of CE Pro. “The CE Pro BEST Awards represents technical engineering and thoughtful development that deserve praise,” says Arlen. “We always look forward to seeing what each year’s new group of entries brings, and how these solutions may impact our industry for years to come.”

All CE Pro BEST Awards’ entries were judged on innovation, functionality, competitive advantages and benefits to the installer by industry leaders, along with the editors of CE Pro.

The judging panel included the team from Bluesalve Partners, which includes industry veterans Avi Rosenthal, Robert Heiblim, Lew Brown and David Kaplan. Combined, the group has more than 100 years of of industry experience. Both Kaplan and Rosenthal are past recipients of the Consumer Technology Association Smart Home Division’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
