Triteq recognised as finalist at IET Innovation Awards

Hosted by TV personality and science enthusiast Johnny Ball and held at the prestigious Marriott Hotel, Grosvenor Square London, Triteq was recognised and commended as a finalist for the product design category at the 2007 IET Innovation Awards.

The IET Innovation in Engineering Awards recognises and celebrates excellence in engineering innovation across a range of industry sectors and engineering disciplines. Winners were selected from hundreds of entries from around the world by a distinguished panel of judges.

Presenting the awards Johnny Ball said: "What makes a good innovator? Perhaps a little eccentricity, a desire for improvement, plus vision and the determination to see it through. All that equals the type of projects recognised through these awards. Innovators always ask 'why can't it be better?' If it wasn't for innovation we would still have black and white television and mono radio."

He continued: “Innovation is at the heart of business and wealth creation. It is right that we acknowledge those who push the boundaries of science, engineering and technology and it will be exciting to see how the innovations awarded this year will make their mark in the future. “

Just a Buzz Word? No Zigbee is a serious contender

Talk to Triteq and discover how it is helping customers define where a zigbee network for their products and applications can aid their competitive advantage.

Mesh Networks Zigbee is not necessarily a replacement for the wireless standards you may already be familiar with but is specifically designed for a unique set of applications, situations and scenarios where existing wireless standards fall short or simply won’t work at all.

Zigbee differs from existing networking standards to address several key areas:

• Supporting robust, fault tolerant mesh networks.

• Low power requirements permitting a wide variety of truly wireless devices which are battery powered with a long battery life.

• Simple network configuration and management allowing devices to be added to existing networks with little if any administrative.

• Work in comparison to other wireless standards utilised for typical applications like video, PDA/ laptop connectivity and internet access.

Zigbee’s security, topology and extended range allow for a whole host of extended applications such as industrial control.
