FREEWAVE ANNOUNCES NEW, LOWER PRICED ADDITIONS TO ITS AWARD-WINNING MM2 FAMILY OF WIRELESS DATA RADIOS
FreeWave Technologies’ OEM partners now can take advantage of a new suite of radios for M2M communications that offer the same benefits at a lower price
BOULDER, Colo., March 26, 2013 — FreeWave Technologies, (http://www.freewave.com), manufacturer of the most reliable, high-performance spread spectrum and licensed radios for critical data transmission, has added a lower price point option to its award-winning MM2 family of radios. The new suite of radios gives OEM partners a more affordable option with the same reliability and performance that FreeWave’s customers have trusted for 20 years. Additions to the MM2 family include the MM2 LT, GXM-LT14 and GXM-LT24 (http://www.freewave.com/products/Promotions.aspx). The new radios are ideal for applications in the electric power, precision agriculture, water/wastewater and automated vehicle location markets.
“Our product development team has worked hard to refine the engineering of our MM2 solutions so that we can offer the option of a lower price point,” said Ashish Sharma, chief marketing officer at FreeWave. “The new suite of MM2 solutions features the same small footprint and lightweight framework as our existing MM2 family making it ideal for applications requiring compact and modular design. The tiny form factor is perfect for installations where small size and weight are required and dependable performance is vital.”
Like its predecessors, the new MM2 radios weigh in at a mere 14 grams with a size of 1.4 inches high by 2.0 inches wide and offer the same long-range ability, versatility and security features for which the MM2 family is known. They are especially suited for narrowband sensor applications. A single radio can operate simultaneously as a master, slave, repeater or slave/repeater and offers superior link performance in high-interference environments. The MM2-LT and GXM-LT radios feature secure data transmission, with the option of AES encryption.
Pricing of the MM2-LT and GXM-LT radios is based on quantity of unit volume and is less than $200 for orders of 500+.
“We are excited to offer our OEM partners a new price point for the MM2 family of radios,” added Sharma. “Through continued design and performance improvements, we aim to lead the industry in the most versatile portfolio of wireless data radios for M2M applications.”

FREEWAVE TECHNOLOGIES’ DAN STEELE TO PRESENT AT ANNUAL GAS WELL DELIQUIFICATION WORKSHOP
Executive at leading wireless technologies solutions provider to present on innovations in hybrid communication networks and plunger lift
WHO: Dan Steele
Market Manager – Oil and Gas
FreeWave Technologies, Inc.
Daniel G. Steele is the manager for the oil and gas market at FreeWave Technologies, Inc. Steele has more than 25 years of experience selling Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) networks for the water and wastewater, oil and gas, electric utilities, railroad, traffic, government and process control instrumentation markets. Some of Steele’s previous experience includes; senior vice president of sales for Bluewave Antenna Systems, the western division manager for Automation-X, regional sales manager for Microwave Data Systems (now GEMDS), sales manager for WETCO, Inc., branch manager for JMC Instruments, regional sales manager for Rockwell Automation; branch manager for Water Works Equipment Company.
Founded in 1993, FreeWave Technologies is a world leader in the innovative design/manufacture of license-free spread spectrum, licensed band radios and wireless data solutions that are trusted for mission critical applications around the world (www.freewave.com).
WHAT: Hybrid Communication Networks
In an industry saturated with many pipeline monitoring solutions, it is critical for operators to understand which technologies are best-suited for their pipeline infrastructure and their impact on their cathodic protection (CP) efforts. Sometimes, it makes the most sense to take a hybrid approach and leverage several solutions for a company’s asset monitoring needs.
Traditionally, companies with large geographically dispersed communication networks typically have selected one technology, one source, one vendor to collect, retrieve and report data to assess the health of their pipeline infrastructures. However, there is a new paradigm today in which organizations are breaking away from tradition and deploying multiple communication technologies to create a hybrid communications network that can better serve an organization’s needs. Steele will present the many different technologies available to keeps maintenance and monthly costs down; decrease polling cycle times and reduce network error-correction time; and eliminate “pinch points,” or single points of failure.
Plunger Lift I/O
Traditionally, an operator was required to manually shut in a well to create pressure downhole in wells that suffered from heavy fluid loads. Artificial lift is a method used to build enough downhole pressure to lift or produce the liquid from the well. With options for communicating plunger lift data to the RTU being wired or wireless, producers have a decision to consider. This paper is intended to enable that decision with valuable information.
Steele will review artificial lift and teach attendees how to navigate the decision between wired or wireless solutions in regards to their artificial lift systems. The presentation will explore the viable, reliable and robust qualities of wireless tools which keep them on par with, and in some cases, superior to their wired solution competitors.
WHERE: 11th Annual Gas Well Deliquification Workshop
Sheraton Denver Hotel
1550 Court Place
Denver, CO 80202
WHEN: Monday, Feb. 18 through Wednesday, Feb. 20
SHARE: Dan Steele from @freewavetech to present wireless technologies at Gas Well Deliquification Workshop http://www.alrdc.com/workshops/index.htm #GWD13

FREEWAVE TECHNOLOGIES’ CRAIG HELD TO PRESENT ON HYBRID COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AT NACE CENTRAL AREA CONFERENCE
FreeWave expert to discuss hybrid communications network technology
WHO: Craig Held
General Manager, International Operations and Cathodic Protection Product Manager
FreeWave Technologies, Inc.
Craig Held is general manager of FreeWave Technologies’ international operations and also serves as cathodic protection product manager.
Founded in 1993, FreeWave Technologies is a world leader in the innovative design/manufacture of license-free spread spectrum, licensed band radios and wireless data solutions that are trusted for mission critical applications around the world (www.freewave.com).
WHAT: New Considerations for Hybrid Communications Network Technology
The concept of automation (and its corresponding technologies) is a primary driver of competitiveness for all types of organizations, but increasingly it is critical for energy companies. Automating processes and key business functions enable organizations to improve operations and make procedures more streamlined, cost-effective, safer and robust. There are several data communication technologies available today to help automate key functions within an organization including, cellular, satellite, licensed and spread spectrum wireless data radios, fiber and wire.
Traditionally, companies with large geographically dispersed communication networks typically have selected one technology, one source, one vendor to collect, retrieve and report data to assess the health of their network. However, there is a new paradigm today in which organizations are breaking away from tradition and deploying multiple communication technologies to create a hybrid communications network that can better serve an organization in general.
This presentation will address the idea that companies need to break away from thinking of communication needs in vertical silos. Due consideration also should be given to capital costs and operating costs (independent of one another) and ultimately organizations should review the option of hybrid communications networks. Due to the need for expanding automation across large networks, certain communication expansion technologies will be required and security threats must be considered and mitigated.
