Modern Atomics’ Reaktor is a power distribution unit that changes how motorized shades are powered. Launched at CEDIA Expo 2024 with multiple awards and praise and making Residential Systems’ “Companies to Watch 2025” list — the company launches Reaktor internationally at ISE 2025 (Innovation Park, #CS844).

Reaktor is the first power distribution unit designed solely for motorized window shades. Leveraging Modern Atomics’ patented artificial intelligence technology, Reaktor eliminates up to 99.75% of quiescent current (wasted energy consumption), saving as much as 412 Kilowatt-hours yearly. A built-in Ammeter depicts the amount of current being saved for all shades in real-time.
Reaktor simplifies installation for the systems integrator. It operates on 24-48 DC Volt power (vs. AC), thereby eliminating the need for a licensed electrician or conduit. Powering takes place via a passive POE injector or a Somfy 24V inline BUS power supply. Reaktor connects to shade motors via Cat5 cable and RJ45 and one Reaktor can power up to 22-shades where other’s max at eight. Further befitting green, Reaktor can be powered by a Modern Atomics Solar Panel kit or compatible Tesla Solar Roof Panels.
Reaktor’s modest 44.5 h x 216 w x 254 d (mm) footprint saves as much as 60% of rack space or 80% of wall space. Add to these many conveniences Modern Atomics’ automated user-interface programming, and Reaktor reduces overall deployment time by more than 50%.
Reaktor is compatible with Somfy motors, the most-used brand in indoor and outdoor shades. This includes Screen Innovations, Draper, BTX, Corradi, Sol-Lux, Spring Blinds, Clara, Alta, Universal Window Coverings, Peachtree, Graber, and SunSetter.
Reaktor works with all major control systems including Control4, Crestron Home, Crestron SIMPL, Elan, URC, RTI, Bond Bridge Pro, and more. Complete specs here: https://modernatomics.com/reaktor
