OMNIMETRIX being chosen as the supplier for backup power monitoring technology by Nixon and one of the most distinctive upscale food & pharmacy chains that focused on customer service is a clear indication of its importance in the market. "Recent utility grid failures on the east coast of the US emphasizes the need for reliable back up power for a myriad of facilities.  Sustained loss of power accompanied by failed back up power would pose a risk to shoppers and significant financial loss for the stores that OMNIMETRIX will be monitoring," said Deena Redding, President of OMNIMETRIX, LLC.

"This order and the connections it constitutes validate the recent change in our business model that emphasizes growth by connection volume and recurring revenue vs sales of individual units," added Redding.
