FREEWAVE TECHNOLOGIES TAKES INDUSTRY LEADING WIRELESS DATA RADIO SOLUTIONS INTO SOLAR POWER GENERATION MARKET
FreeWave appoints company veteran Colin Lippincott to head up its renewable energy practice
BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 19, 2009 — FreeWave Technologies, (http://www.freewave.com), manufacturer of the most reliable, high-performance spread spectrum and licensed radios for critical data transmission, today announced it is expanding into the fast-growing solar power generation market. As the leading independent developer and manufacturer of Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) wireless data radio technology, FreeWave has been producing some of the world’s most sophisticated wireless data radios for the past 16 years. Its radios are implemented in locations spanning the globe, including “solar friendly” locales, such as the American Southwest, the Middle East, Mexico, China and more. Some of the world’s largest energy companies, defense contractors, city and county municipalities and industrial manufacturers rely on FreeWave radios daily for mission critical communications.
In the solar power generation market, FreeWave’s industry-leading wireless data radios address a wide range of wireless applications that support monitoring and control for all types of solar power generation models – from solar troughs, dishes, photovoltaic (tracking and stationary) and heliostats. The company’s wireless technologies will help solar power generation providers lower their installation and infrastructure costs, while also offering reliable, robust communication performance with dependable, easily installed networks.
“Today’s solar power generation companies face several challenges, including the need to easily build an infrastructure capable of accurately monitoring data results and controlling systems in real-time,” explained Colin Lippincott, leader of FreeWave’s renewable energy practice. “FreeWave’s solutions address these factors eliminating solar power generation providers’ need to trench and to run fiber or wire This provides them with a strong ROI-based resource that reduces their initial capital investment and long-term maintenance costs while also providing all of the necessary communications. These factors, combined with FreeWave’s superior, reliable technology and best-in-class service and support, are key benefits we can offer to solar power generation providers and why we are the preferred choice among OEMs in the energy, military, agriculture markets and more.”
A company executive and veteran, Lippincott has been with FreeWave since 2003. He has led the company’s sales and marketing efforts since first hired until most recently being appointed to head up its renewable energy efforts.
Lippincott says the solar power generation industry is a perfect fit for FreeWave’s wireless data radios. Because the industry is still in its infancy and expected to grow at a fast clip, FreeWave’s radios fill an especially critical need as solar power generation networks are being built. According to a report by JP Morgan, cited in Greentech Media, solar power generation providers are expected to grow faster almost than other industry for the next 10 years and will surpass Germany as the largest market for solar power in the world by 2011.
FreeWave will be demonstrating its solar power generation wireless data radio offerings in booth #2750 at the upcoming the Solar Power International Annual Conference in Anaheim, Calif., October 27-29, 2009.
