Falcon Electric Wins Byte.com's
Prestigious Orchid Award

IRWINDALE, Calif. – January 31, 2006 – Falcon Electric, Inc., a leading supplier of power protection and conversion solutions today announced that preeminent computer publication Byte.com has awarded Falcon’s SG Series UPS Plus Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) its annual Orchid award. Chosen by renowned Byte.com columnist and science fiction writer, Jerry Pournelle, the coveted Chaos Manor Orchid award was bestowed to Falcon for the superior quality and reliability of its SG Series UPS Plus systems.

“The Falcon UPS systems use regenerative on-line UPS technology, and in my experience - more than a decade of hard use…their batteries last longer. One Falcon UPS in use at Chaos Manor survived the Great Power Spike of 1989 and continued to work for another five years before it was replaced,” commented Pournelle, Byte.com’s Senior Contributing Editor.

“We are delighted to once again be honored by Byte.com and Jerry Pournelle for our UPS systems’ design, technology and reliability,” stated Falcon Electric’s Engineering Manager, Michael Stout. “We are extremely pleased that our systems are standing the test of time providing power backup even during the most critical of power disturbances.”

Stressing the importance of power protection, Pournelle advises, “If you value your time and your work, make sure your computer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply, otherwise known as a UPS. There is never a time when you are absolutely safe from power failures and power spikes, and gremlins always arrange that the power failure will take place when you have done your best work but have not yet saved it.”

Falcon’s SG Series UPS Plus units feature a true regenerative on-line design to provide the highest level

of protection against the widest spectrum of power problems. Tight output regulation, extended brownout protection and advanced communications make the SG Series one of the most robust UPSs on the market today. Special models feature a unique voltage/frequency converter option for worldwide applications. These models also work well in harsh environmental conditions where there is poor frequency input, such as applications that rely on generator power. Their wide input frequency window allows for flawless operation in difficult conditions.
