And the NH Product of the Year is ….

Another great program and even a great dinner by Matt Pierson and the NH High Technology Council.

INSIGHT TECH GEAR named 2008 PRODUCT OF THE YEAR Insight Tech Gear 2008 POY

Insight Tech-Gear - MTMv2-LCD

Imagine if you could see crisp, clear, live images in total darkness, through fog, smoke, or thick brush with a devise that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, said Devin Standard, Director of Marketing & Business Development - as he addressed the audience at last night’s Product of the Year Awards banquet. And, imagine if you could locate a lost child lying unconscious in the deep woods or a man overboard from your pleasure boat at night or in dense fog. STOP imagining. Insight Tech-Gear has the solution, the MTMv2-LCD, the smallest high-resolution handheld thermal imaging devise in the world, weighing in a less that 11oz. Boasting a robust military heritage and innovative features, this product has been created to directly serve the first responder market with unprecedented portability, thermal imaging performance, and easy viewing. The MTMv2-LCD is the only thermal imaging devise that renders facial-recognition quality images and man-sized objects at a 1/3-mile distance in a package this small. Utilizing a high-resolution infrared detector coupled with Insight’s proprietary electronics and imbedded software, the MTMv2-LCD runs on commercially available batteries for over 4 hours making it ideal for search & rescue operations on land and at sea. Saving lives in the goal of using this New Hampshire designed and manufactured high-tech product. Resume imagining! www.insight-tek.com

As the audience and finalists waited for the results, Governor Lynch received the winning company’s name and announced Insight Tech- Gear’s MTMv2-LCD the 2008 New Hampshire High-Tech product of the year. The winning team cheered as they all gathered on stage to be recognized. The elegant crystal Product of the Year trophy will be engraved with this year’s winner, Insight Tech-Gear.
