Rancho Cordova, CA (July 22, 2003) MCE, the largest manufacturer of elevator system control panels for modernization, announced MCE's "the power of i".

The "i" control system seamlessly integrates hardware and software; it is an intelligent technology engine that operates intuitively; it enables MCE to build powerful equipment that is simple to install, adjust and maintain.

The graceful lines and smooth curves of the iBOX are futuristic. Beneath the handsome cover, state-of-the-art microprocessors execute a million operations in fractions of a second. Software with a highly flexible, open architecture gives the i platform its intelligence. The iBOX provides next generation intelligence for control logic and safety process management designed around the Power PC chipset.

Other Core Components:

• iLAND is an innovative maintenance-free landing system unencumbered by tape, struts or switches.
• iLINK is a convenient cartop wiring interconnection point for conversion of discrete car signals to serial
• iCUE is perhaps the world's most powerful, intuitive and adaptable dispatching engine

Tomorrow's elevator control technology is available...today. i platform products are available in limited release now, with full product scheduled starting later this year.

MCE has harnessed cutting edge technology in a way that makes it useful and friendly for the individual. This is the essence of the power of i.
