From data centers to modern homes: a new era of residential energy reliability
SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- FranklinWH Energy Storage Inc., a leading provider of home energy solutions, proudly announces that the FranklinWH System with aPower battery storage has obtained the world's first TIA-942 certification across the full rating spectrum spanning from rated 1 through rated 4 (4 is the peak of the certification hierarchy) for residential systems. TIA-942 is a well-known data center standard for ensuring reliability and availability of equipment and extending that to home energy systems is critical for providing homeowners the confidence that they will have power when it is needed. This milestone sets a new benchmark in the residential energy storage system (ESS) sector, signifying the FranklinWH System meets the stringent data-center standard for reliability, resiliency, and availability.
The demand for exceptional energy reliability is increasingly required in modern homes. However, the residential ESS industry today lacks a universally accepted benchmark for reliability. Adopting the data center standard offers consumers and partners a transparent, objective assurance that the ESS performs to the highest standard of reliability and robustness, with ultra-clean and stable UPS-grade power delivery.
"With this certification, we are raising the bar for residential energy storage, giving homeowners added confidence that their system will perform when they need it most," said Gary Lam, CEO of FranklinWH. "TIA-942 is a rigorous, measurable standard trusted by the world's most critical facilities. Bringing this level of proven reliability to the home means performance isn't just promised, it's verified."
Developed by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) and accredited by ANSI, TIA-942 certification evaluates infrastructure across power systems, redundancy, monitoring, fault tolerance, and overall resiliency. The standard is issued by Enterprise Products Integration (EPI) and defines four increasing levels of reliability, each requiring stringent engineering and system design to minimize downtime and ensure continuous operation. It is widely considered the leading standard for uptime in data centers and other always-on facilities and, until now, it had never been applied to residential energy systems.
The standard defines four rated levels, with rated 4 representing the highest level of redundancy, fault tolerance, maintainability, and resiliency. For decades, the standard has served as one of the most rigorous and complete reliability frameworks.
With this milestone, FranklinWH sets a new industry standard that brings enterprise-level reliability to homeowners for the first time.

Dual-track strategy: Industrial-grade precision boosts enterprise efficiency, while consumer innovations redefine smart living
LAS VEGAS, Dec. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Eforthink, a global leader in UWB-powered location IoT solutions, is set to unveil a brandnew lineup of new ultra-wideband (UWB) products and platforms at CES 2026. Bridging the gap between industrial automation and consumer smart living, the company will showcase cutting-edge real-time positioning systems for manufacturers alongside intuitive spatial sensing devices designed for homes, offices, and beyond.
Industrial IoT: Precision Control for Smarter Manufacturing
Eforthink's industrial-grade solution leverages a hybrid positioning system that fuses UWB with Bluetooth Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) technology. Delivering centimeter-level accuracy, it tracks people, vehicles, and materials in real time — optimizing workflows across automotive plants, warehouses, logistics hubs, and various factories.
Key applications include:
- Asset tracking
- Forlift tracking
- Production tracking
- Yard management
- Indoor positioning and navigation
By streamlining operations, Eforthink's platform helps global manufacturers enhance lean production and achieve greater agility in increasingly complex supply chains.
Touchless Interaction: From Connected Devices to People-oriented Experiences
Taking its industrial UWB expertise into the consumer realm, Eforthink introduces three spatial sensing products that promise to transform everyday interactions:
1. Eforlink ScreenLock – Smart Key for Computers
With 10 cm spatial sensing precision, ScreenLock recognizes authorized users via their smartphones. The computer unlocks as the user approaches and locks instantly upon leaving — no passwords, no keystrokes, just seamless security and productivity.
2. Eforlink UWB Identity Presence Sensor – A Home That Knows You
This sensor identifies who is in the room and adjusts lighting, temperature, entertainment settings, and even pre-configured appliance actions accordingly. Moving beyond simple voice commands, it enables a shift from passive device control to proactive, personalized environments.
3. Eforlink UWB Pet Tag – Hands-Free Access for Pets
Authorized pets can now enter and exit freely with automatic door unlocking, while unknown animals are kept out. It's a small innovation that makes a big difference for pet owners seeking both security and convenience.
Bridging Two Worlds
UWB technology has long been the backbone of industrial automation, said a company spokesperson. Now, Eforthink is bringing that same precision and reliability into consumers' daily lives — redefining how people interact with their homes, offices, and even their pets.
Eforthink envisions a future where spatial intelligence is as ubiquitous in personal spaces as it is on factory floors.
