Dianich joined FreeWave in 2010 as a business development executive for the Western region and renewable energy. Dianich is responsible for business development for solar and wind energy markets, such as utility-scale concentrated solar power, concentrated photovoltaic, wind turbines and wind farms.

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: â��Wireless Communication Technologies for Distribution Automation: Smart Grid Layers and Playersâ��

Much has been written about the Smart Grid including a myriad of definitions and points of view. Communications has and always will allocate proper distribution of power needed. There are numerous communications players (technologies) that can be deployed across the smart grid applications layers. The â��best fitâ�� technology for any one layer or overall system depends on objectives for the system. Decision makers also should factor in the risk profile of the company and their communications requirements will start to take shape.

This presentation is intended to provide a point of view focused solely on the application layers, how they impact the Distribution Layer and support the communications technologies at each layer. Dianich also will provide attendees with specific criteria to consider when selecting a communication technology.

FREEWAVE TECHNOLOGIES TO SHOWCASE AND DISCUSS WIRELESS DATA SOLUTIONS AT AUTOMATION & POWER WORLD

FreeWave to demonstrate how combined solutions allow customers to use wireless data radios for effective distribution automation in the Smart Grid

ORLANDO, Fla., ABB AUTOMATION & POWER WORLD, (Booth #55), April 19, 2011 -- FreeWave Technologies, (http://www.freewave.com), manufacturer of the most reliable, high-performance spread spectrum and licensed radios for critical data transmission, will showcase its portfolio of wireless data radio solutions, including its IO Sensor Module and FGR2-PE, for a multitude of Smart Grid applications at this year's ABB Automation and Power World (http://www.abb.com/A&Pworld).

FreeWave will be demonstrating its IO Sensor Module and FGR2 Series radios in the conference's Technology and Solutions Center (Booth #55 & #56). FreeWave's IO Sensor Module combines measurement and communications in one package to measure voltage, current and temperature at a three-phase sensor. The power line data is then sent to the utility for monitoring and management. FreeWave's FGR2 Series wireless radios offer superior noise filtering and interference handling, are capable of accurately transmitting data up to 60 miles, and offer the lowest power consumption in the industry.

"FreeWave's IO Sensor Module and FGR2 Series radios offer customers developing Smart Grid networks the most robust and reliable solution available," explained Curt Goldman, business development executive at FreeWave Technologies. "Our technologies are proven to deliver critical data transmission for distribution automation applications in the Smart Grid marketplace."

In addition, Goldman also will be presenting a paper on "Wireless Communications for Distribution Automation" as part of the conference agenda. During his presentation, Goldman will review how FreeWave Technologies' radio transceivers are used in the Smart Grid for remote monitoring and control without any hardwiring in the infrastructure.

Goldman's talk will take place on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. as part of the conference proceedings. A copy of his presentation and paper can be obtained by contacting Catapult PR-IR at 303-581-7760.
