(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:15072008
Victoria, British Columbia CANADA /FSC/ - Carmanah Technologies
Corporation (CMH - TSX, QCX - FWB, CMHXF - OTCBB_Pink_Sheets), Solar
technology provider, Carmanah Technologies Corporation, has partnered
with ENCOM Wireless Data Solutions Inc. to add a wireless interface
capability to its line of stand-alone solar-powered traffic beacons.
According to Richard Chesson, Carmanah Vice President, Marketing and
Business Development, this arrangement represents the next step in the
evolution of Carmanah's solar powered LED (light emitting diode)
lighting technology for traffic applications.
"A key benefit of a solar powered beacon is convenience - it's easy to
install, generates its own electricity, and operates automatically for
years with little or no maintenance," said Chesson "So how do you make
it even better? We believe the answer is wireless interactivity; and
who better to provide that capability than ENCOM - an established
industry leader in wireless technologies, specializing in the traffic
industry. We know our customers already trust ENCOM as the standard for
wireless communications in the traffic industry, so now we'll be able
to offer our flashing beacons with this proven technology built right
in. With ENCOM technology providing remote interface and control
capabilities, our Carmanah solar-powered flashing beacons will offer
our customers new levels of versatility and flexibility," added Chesson.
"We are delighted to be joining forces with Carmanah - a leader in its
field," said Joaquin Segl, General Manager of ENCOM. "This partnership
follows our strategy to provide unmatched wireless solutions by
collaborating with the best companies. People seeking reliable,
flexible and robust solar-wireless solutions will benefit greatly from
the combined experience and innovative spirit of our two companies."
Carmanah solar-powered traffic beacons are currently used for a range
of roadway and intelligent traffic system (ITS) functions across North
America. With no need for trenching, cabling or wiring, Carmanah
beacons install quickly and easily onto new or existing signposts for
fast, economical installations and minimal disruption to traffic.
Bright, durable and long lasting, Carmanah flashing beacons can help
motorists and pedestrians spot signage and identify hazardous road
conditions, day and night, along roads, highways, construction zones,
parking areas, school zones and more.
