I heard the two companies are merging. How will this affect current and future products? Will existing products be able to communicate between each other?

Give it time, I'd like to think so eventually but the two company's haven't even started development yet?!
 
FAQ from Ecotech's Website:

FAQs

Is either brand being dissolved?
No, both brands will remain independent. This exciting merger is designed to capitalize on the operational and infrastructure advantages that result from the merger of two US based manufacturers. Product lines and branding will remain separate and occur at the separate Iowa and Pennsylvania facilities.

Will EcoTech products be sold under the AI brand or vice versa?
No, the brands and products will remain independent.

Will I still be able to buy EcoTech and AI products from my favorite store?
Yes, there will be no changes to retail availability. AI products will remain distributed by AI and EcoTech products will be distributed by EcoTech.

Will there be any changes to EcoTech or AI prices?
No. Prices will not be impacted.

Who do I contact for customer support?
EcoTech and AI customer support channels will remain exactly as they are currently. There will be no change to the support numbers, emails, or location.

Are there any changes to my warranty?
Warranty support, warranty conditions and product support will remain unchanged.

Are any products being discontinued?
No products are being discontinued.

Will EcoTech and AI products and technology be compatible in the future?
Currently there are no plans to make the two brands compatible.
 
Eh I doubt it. It seems like the radion line will end up being the cutting bleeding edge of design (Iphone 5s) and AI may become the lower end (Iphone 5c). It is smart if you can pull it off. You will hit both the high end and the just starting markets.
 
So if they are still independent, and they will keep developing by themselves, and they are not changing their companies name, and prices wont change, and customer support is independent, so "WHY THE MERGER" como to think about it this is useless announcement, lol

They would increase their buying power with the LED manufacturers (maybe bringing price down) and could colloborate to focus on specific niches in the Aquarium industry.
 
As others have mentioned, one of the main benefits of us working together is that our engineers and R&D teams will be able to collaborate and share resources in an effort to provide hobbyists with new and exciting products. This merger will directly affect hobbyists in a very positive way- we have a lot of exciting things in the works and can't wait to share them with all of you!
 
Well hopefully the one company will be showing the other one how quality customer service is done. :thumbsup:
