    Global Caché and Modern Atomics Form Partnership, Delivering Intelligent Networked Motorized Shade Power Distribution

    Global Caché has teamed up with Modern Atomics to expand smart automation capabilities with intelligent power distribution. Through this partnership, Modern Atomics’ flagship product, Reaktor®, will be bundled with Global Caché’s IP-based connectivity hardware, giving system integrators smarter, more efficient, and scalable solutions for motorized shade control and beyond.

    Reaktor’s ability to power up to 22 shades from a single unit, while cutting standby energy use by 99.75%, makes it a strong choice for projects where sustainability and performance matter. Together, the two companies are delivering an integrated platform that simplifies installation, reduces energy costs, and extends automation possibilities across education, enterprise, and residential environments.

    Global Caché, a leading manufacturer of award-winning IP- and WiFi-enabling hardware for the control and automation industry, is excited to announce the addition of Modern Atomics as its newest Value Added Reseller (VAR). Known for pioneering innovation in smart power distribution, Modern Atomics brings its groundbreaking power distribution unit (PDU) solution, ReaktorÒ, to the Global Caché ecosystem—offering enhanced energy efficiency and smarter shade control integration.

    This strategic partnership reflects Global Caché’s ongoing commitment to providing open, flexible, and future-ready connectivity through a strong, carefully selected partner network. As part of this collaboration, Modern Atomics will bundle its intelligent power product with Global Caché’s reliable connectivity hardware—delivering expanded capabilities to system integrators and automation professionals worldwide.

    At the heart of the offering is Reaktor, Modern Atomics’ flagship power distribution unit designed to support up to 22 window shades from a single device. With a quiescent current draw reduced by up to 99.75%, Reaktor offers significant energy savings while simplifying installation. Its compact design, compatibility with leading shade and automation brands, and intelligent power management make it an ideal solution for projects that prioritize efficiency, performance, and sustainability.

    When paired with Global Caché’s IR, serial, and relay/contact closure to IP products, Modern Atomics’ offerings now gain access to a broader range of automation and control environments—while Global Caché extends its footprint into emerging markets powered by smart energy infrastructure.

    “We’ve had the privilege of collaborating with Michael Braithwaite over the years, and we’re honored to welcome his newest venture, Modern Atomics, to the Global Caché partner family,” said Robin Ford, VP of Business Development at Global Caché. “Their innovation addresses real-world challenges with style and precision. By adding ReaktorÒ to our VAR network, we’re giving our partners new tools to create greener, smarter, and more scalable automation systems.”

    Michael Braithwaite, Chairperson and Co-Founder of Modern Atomics, shared, “Global Caché has long been a trusted name in delivering flexible connectivity to integrators. Partnering with them aligns seamlessly with our mission to modernize the power backbone of automation. Together, we offer a complete, integrated solution—control connectivity from Global Caché, combined with intelligent power from Reaktor. It’s a big step toward making advanced automation more efficient and accessible.”

    This partnership strengthens Global Caché’s mission to deliver cutting-edge IP solutions enhanced by complementary technologies that streamline integration and elevate system performance across sectors—including education, enterprise, and high-end residential automation.
