RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC (June 9, 2009) – The Wireless Industrial Networking Alliance (WINA), expert wireless resource for the industrial market, will present a live webinar on wireless deployments in support of the Federal Mandate to dramatically reduce energy consumption. The webinar will be presented by Dr. Peter Fuhr, CTO, Apprion and Chairman of WINA, on Wednesday, June 24th at 2:00 p.m. EST.

The 40 minute presentation will be followed by a 20 minute live Q&A session. Participants will learn about the progress made by several real world deployments in support of the Federal Mandate issued by the United States Government to reduce energy across all federal agencies, an initiative coupled with financial incentives in the private sector to enhance efficiency and reduce energy in Industrial applications.

In each case, wireless was a key enabler, or frequently served as the only option, in dramatically lowering the initial cost of deployment and speeding the deployment time, both critical in today's economic climate but even more critical given federally mandated deadlines for compliance. Case studies discussed will include building automation, energy usage analysis in commercial application and industrial process monitoring.

This webinar will illustrate the actual cost and time savings of these wireless applications with side by side comparisons to wired solutions, with details demonstrating the solid return on investment. Additionally, the presentation will address guidelines for spectrum choice, and spectrum licensing options, as well as Security concerns and solutions.
