Earlier today, Phottix announced the release of a new wireless flash trigger, called the Phottix Atlas.

The features of the Atlas include:

• each unit is a transceiver, and can function as a receiver or a transmitter
• can be used to trigger remote flashes or studio lights
• range of upto 100 metres
• supports sync speeds upto 1/250 second
• can trigger flashes via built-in female hotshoe, 3.5mm socket or 6.3mm socket
• compatible with PocketWizards
• can also be used as a wireless shutter release
• uses two AA batteries

I haven't been able to get my hands on an Atlas yet, but based on my experience with other Phottix accessories, I would expect the Atlas to be of comparable high quality build, with reliable triggering.
