Redflow Chairman Simon HackettRedflow ZBM cost reduced by over 50% to US$0.20/kWh and extends reach to include homes and SMEs

ASX-listed power storage specialist Redflow Ltd today announces it will deliver its innovative batteries for residential and small business energy storage systems by early 2016.

While still pursuing telco sector opportunities, Redflow is developing a companion Battery Management System (BMS) to simplify installing and managing its batteries at smaller sites.

Development of the BMS will be guided by newly elected Redflow Chairman Simon Hackett, with the first version of this device expected to hit the market early in the first quarter of 2016.

Redflow made these announcements today in a statement to the Australian Stock Exchange that outlined a number of initiatives to address longer than expected sales cycles.

Simon Hackett said the decisions announced today would expand the market segments addressed by Redflow at just the right time. “The residential and SME markets are currently hot sectors for power storage which Redflow is well equipped to supply,” he said.

David McNeely, a senior Centrify executive who has worked in the identity management space for the past 20 years, is visiting Australia this week to speak today at Gartner's Security Summit in Sydney and to meet with Centrify customers in Sydney and Melbourne.

David's visit coincides with Centrify's inclusion - for the second year running - on the Inc. 5000 ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the US. Companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, LinkedIn, Zillow and other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 5000.



Centrify Corporation, the leader in securing identities from cyberthreats, also announces it has been awarded a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its Privileged Account Security. The patented technology is a new method and apparatus for transmitting additional authorisation data.

MIMP CEO Allan AitchisonA National Science Week event in the remote SA community of Arkaroola today will use a MIMP microwave wireless network to showcase the value of telehealth for regional Australia.

Run by Dr Paul Gardner-Stephen of Flinders University, the interactive event has invited locals to have their blood pressure taken in Arkaroola and reviewed by a health professional 700km away in Adelaide, demonstrating the ease and convenience of telehealth.

Connecting the patient and doctor will be a microwave wireless network deployed by Adelaide-based wireless specialist MIMP Connecting Solutions to serve a mine in the Northern Flinders Ranges in 2012. At its own expense, MIMP extended that network to reach Arkaroola in 2013, with plans to expand it to Nepabunna and other local communities. The telehealth event will be held at the Arkaroola Visitor Centre from 11am to 12.45pm on Wednesday, August 19, 2015.

Kangaroo Island Council CEO Andrew BoardmanAdelaide-based wireless specialist MIMP Connecting Solutions has beaten the NBN to the punch by delivering high-speed broadband services for SA’s Kangaroo Island.

Supported by the Kangaroo Island Council, MIMP has established a 100 megabit-per-second (Mb/s) microwave wireless connection from Adelaide to Kingscote. The new NEC Microwave radio network can carry 300 megabits per second (Mb/s) of data to meet expected demand and can be upgraded to 850 Mb/s in future.

As well as providing the Kangaroo Island Council with a full-duplex 20 Mb/s link to its data centre in Kingscote, MIMP’s link has enough extra capacity to offer broadband to other residents and businesses on the island, which has limited ADSL and 3G mobile broadband.
