FORT WORTH, TX — June 8, 2026 – Sinclair Digital, Inc., a pioneer in sustainable digital infrastructure, has officially won the prestigious 2026 Digie Award for Best Tech Innovation in DC Power at the annual Realcomm/IBcon conference in San Diego. The Digie Awards recognize companies revolutionizing commercial smart buildings by delivering safe, efficient digital electricity and Power over Ethernet (PoE) to replace traditional AC systems.

The award marks a historic milestone for the company, as Sinclair Digital secured a complete category sweep. Every single project nominated for the 2026 DC Powered Building Digie Award deployed Sinclair Digital’s flagship platform, AGILE-CORE® Distributed Edge Architecture.

“Winning the Digie Award for Best Tech Innovation is a profound validation of our mission to eliminate legacy infrastructure bottlenecks,” said Luis Suau, Chief Business Officer at Sinclair Digital. “To see HITT Contracting’s Headquarters, Hotel Marcel, and Mouser Electronics all recognized on this stage proves that Class 4 Fault-Managed Power and PoE are no longer experimental concepts—they are the standard for modern, intelligent real estate.”

The landmark nominated projects showcase how AGILE-CORE® scales across diverse commercial sectors:

• HITT Contracting Headquarters (Falls Church, VA) – A premier corporate environment demonstrating the scaling capabilities of unified DC low-voltage platforms, slated to open in 2027.

• Hotel Marcel (New Haven, CT) – The first net-zero energy, Passive House-certified hotel in the United States, utilizing a DC microgrid and PoE infrastructure.

• Mouser Electronics (Dallas-Fort Worth, TX) – A massive logistics and warehouse facility leveraging DC power and PoE lighting across large-scale industrial spaces.

At the core of these award-winning projects is a fundamental shift in building infrastructure. As an intelligent distributed edge architecture, AGILE-CORE® replaces outdated AC electrical systems with a unified, digital power and data backbone. By integrating advanced Class 4 Power (also known as Fault-Managed Power, or FMP) with PoE, the platform distributes safe low-voltage DC power alongside high-speed data directly to edge devices like lighting, IT networks, OT endpoints, and IoT sensors.

By eliminating the need for multiple localized IT closets (IDFs), this unique architecture drastically reduces building material requirements—such as copper and metal conduits. The results are tangible, lowering construction CAPEX by $3 to $8 per square foot, cutting building energy consumption by up to 30%, and providing the essential, flexible physical layer required to handle modern, high-density edge compute and AI workloads.

Further elevating the company’s milestone week, Sinclair Digital’s CEO, Farukh Aslam, was nominated for the esteemed Julie Devine Digital Impact Award, which honors visionary individuals who have driven significant, lasting change in the commercial real estate and smart building industries through technology and innovation.

“I am incredibly honored by the Julie Devine Digital Impact Award nomination, but I am even more proud of what our ecosystem and partners have achieved this week,” said Farukh Aslam, CEO of Sinclair Digital. “Having every single DC-power nominee powered by AGILE-CORE® shows that the transition away from inefficient AC systems toward safe, resilient digital electricity is accelerating globally. We are thrilled to pave the way alongside industry leaders and our forward-thinking clients.”
