MHT Technologies > About Us

FROM LEDS TO SMART BUILDING SOLUTIONS.

MHT Technologies is a New York-based software development and lighting services company.

Nearly 15 years ago, MHT Technologies began as MHT Lighting, a company focused on the early development of LED, low-voltage, and PoE-based lighting fixtures. By 2015, the company started developing Inspextor, a PoE-based software solution for smart buildings.

Today, we are a technology company that provides a software-based solution that takes sensor-based feedback and turns it into actionable data to provide a safer, more productive, sustainable, and lower-cost space for owners and occupants. Our PoE smart building technology platform, Inspextor, is a market-leading software solution to connect your devices and systems into one easy-to-manage interface. MHT has been granted three (3) U.S. Patents on Inspextor, which sets it apart in the PoE industry.

MHT’s 55,000 sq/ft facility, located in New York, has received ETL, UL and ISO 9001:2015 listings and certifications.

Our staff of engineers, software developers and lighting designers provide MHT’s clients with the experience necessary to take their lighting project from the drawing board to implementation.

2009

MHT Technologies (MHT) was founded in Staten Island, NY, in 2009.  The vision of MHT was to create energy efficient and innovative lighting fixtures for commercial Properties.

Advancements in technology brought the cost of LEDs down to a level that allowed mass adoption and long-term viability for MHT’s fixtures.

Around the same time, new Power over Ethernet (PoE) technologies came into the market.  These new technologies combined the advancements in PoE power capabilities with  the declining power requirements of LED’s, creating something never see before: PoE Lighting. 

2013

MHT was one of the first lighting fixture companies to create native PoE lighting fixtures for use in PoE technology applications in data centers across the United States. In 2013, MHT expanded its product offering to include a patented Energy Management software platform. This innovative system allowed commercial clients to reduce their overall electric bill by an average of 15%. It was successfully acquired by a large corporation.

2016

In 2016, MHT saw a market need for a reliable software platform to create a complete Internet of Things (IoT) building solution system that could manage all PoE-connected devices. At the time, PoE technology was just beginning to expand beyond PoE lighting. Cabling providers, switch manufacturers, IoT sensor developers, and the other supportive technologies were advancing rapidly to meet demand but were challenged to find a complete, reliable software solution. Customers, excited about a low-voltage DC infrastructure, hesitated to adopt technology without an easy and reliable way to have visibility into their connected devices.

2018

Using its intimate knowledge of lighting technology and previous experience with developing its own in-house energy management software, MHT used its team of developers to launch Inspextor, their PoE-based smart building software, in 2018 to bring together all connected devices into one easy to use interface.

MHT’s mantra has always been to be a high quality, reliable partner with its customers. In the first year of the market launch, MHT focused on quietly testing its software with a variety of customers.

2020

The pandemic spurred a lot of change, including new opportunities. In the summer of 2020, MHT gained new leadership from the appointment of several new members to its board with deep experience in real estate development in the New Jersey and New York areas. Soon thereafter, Ira Horowitz, an IBM veteran and respected team developer, was appointed to the chief executive officer role.

Today

MHT’s Inspextor product is seeing fast adoption and growth in commercial offices and data centers – quickly outpacing the revenue from its reliable fixture product lines which it continues to produce for their various global customers to this day.
