Have any legislative or regulatory efforts been undertaken to promote the development of microgrids? What are the most significant legal obstacles to the development of microgrids?

GreatcellSolar (ex Dyesol, ex Sustainable Technologies Australia ) has been trying to get thin film solar windows going for over twenty years. GSL is currently suspended from trading on the ASX as it searches (yet again) for more money to head off running out of cash (yet again). While the tech from Curtin is radically different (the solar cells are in the window frame with the magic switchable, reflecting ingredient being a coating/mix of nano-something) the 3-5% efficiency is not going to set the world alight or give a reasonable payback .The sideffect of UV and IR blocking is probably worth more. Australian tech companies have a bad habit of going to the listed market too early before their product is viable when they might be better off with angel investor early stage funding. Good luck anyway.

Saratoga, too, plans on converting its streetlights to LED, and is also studying which equipment to install on poles as part of broader connectivity efforts.

When a security integrator needs to guarantee quality of service for both high-payload video and critical communications coexisting on the same network, they would typically virtually or logically separate the LAN (hence a VLAN). Companies like MSI (Motorola parent company) and Ericsson needed a more sophisticated model to support the IoT; thus, the network slicing concept was created and now supports Massive IoT, Critical Communications and enhanced Broadband.

The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting, whereby revenue is recognized when earned and expenses when incurred.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.  As such, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Apple’s Beats brand in April unveiled the Powerbeats Pro, a redesigned wire-free version of its popular fitness-oriented Powerbeats earbuds.

Solar photovoltaic installations are achieving significant electricity cost savings for fuel service stations across Namibia and South Africa.

• Onera Health, an Palo Alto, California and Netherlands-based provider of sleep diagnostic solutions and services, raised over $9.3 million in Series A funding. Investors included Jazz Pharmaceuticals and imec.xpand.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – Mountain Metro Transit is installing solar lights to about 60 bus stops around Colorado Springs so passengers feel safer while waiting for the bus and to make sure drivers don’t miss them in the dark.

The low price and deployment specialization make LiDAR solutions a profitable opportunity for integrators; however, they will need to get used to an ecosystem where designers use open-source software, such as UC Davis’ LiDAR Viewer, MeshLab and object libraries at a far lower cost than the security industry’s VMS and video analytics software licenses. LiDAR prices will continue to drop and solution providers from different industries will soon participate in security-related use cases.
