Renewable Choice Energy Founder and CEO Quayle Hodek to Speak at TEDxMaui

BOULDER, CO (PRWEB) December 20, 2012

Colorado-based Renewable Choice Energy (http://www.renewablechoice.com) announced today that founder and CEO Quayle Hodek will be a featured speaker at the upcoming TEDxMaui event held January 13, 2013 at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center.

Hodek is widely recognized as a pioneer in green power marketing for his efforts introducing renewable energy and carbon reduction options to new markets and industries. Since founding the company in 2001, Hodek has built Renewable Choice into one of the largest and most respected renewable energy and sustainability companies in the U.S. In 2006, Hodek helped Whole Foods Market become the first major corporation to go to 100% renewable energy, spurring dozens of other multinational corporations to follow suit. Today, the companys clients include 50 of the Fortune 500, more than 3,500 LEED-certified green buildings, and scores of government clients and middle-market businesses.

“TEDxMaui brings together innovative and inspiring speakers and performers who have the courage to dream and change the world with revolutionary ideas. We are honored and grateful to have Quayle as part of our 2013 line up as he certainly fits the bill,” said Katie McMillan, Founder of TEDxMaui.

Under Hodeks leadership, Renewable Choice has developed innovative products and services to meet the growing demand for sustainable alternatives, including the Wind Power Card, the first renewable energy retail product; Green Your Phone, a cell phone offset product developed in conjunction with Best Buy; and Mosaic, a web-based carbon management software platform that helps organizations of all sizes measure and reduce their carbon emissions.

Hodek was instrumental in the creation of the Green-e Certification Program, North Americas highest industry standard for renewable energy purchasing. Hodek and Renewable Choice are also founding members of the Renewable Energy Marketers Association (REMA), a trade association dedicated to maintaining and growing strong markets for renewable energy in the U.S.

Called one of the 7 Hottest CEOs by Treehugger.com and named one of Red Herrings top 25 entrepreneurs under 35, Hodek has been featured in numerous national and international media outlets including The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, and given the Green Power Beacon award for market development from the U.S. Department of Energy.

I am delighted to have the opportunity to speak at the TEDxMaui event, said Hodek. It is an honor to join other forward-thinkers in advancing a variety of social, educational, and environmental initiatives through the TED forum.

The TEDxMaui event will feature presenters who have worked to change the world with revolutionary ideas. In addition to Hodek, the TEDxMaui line-up includes such visionaries as artist Alex Grey, corporate shaman Jim Channon, and the Reverend Dr. Michael Beckwith.

octoScope Introduces Industrys First MIMO Wireless Channel Emulation Logic Subsystem

Marlborough, MA (PRWEB) December 20, 2012

octoScope, Inc., a wireless solutions and services company, today announced a real-time logic implementation of its multiple input multiple output (MIMO) octoFade wireless testing solution. When applied to a wireless signal using digital signal processing, channel emulation makes the signal appear as though it has traversed a realistic indoor or outdoor space, having been reflected from walls, cars, people or other surfaces. With octoFade, channel emulation can be integrated into wireless test equipment such as vector signal generators (VSG) and base-station emulators. octoFade implements channel models defined by standards bodies such as IEEE 802.11 and 3GPP. These channel models emulate the effects of multipath and Doppler fading occurring in typical indoor and outdoor environments.

octoFade is the first computational subsystem of a MIMO wireless channel emulator being offered stand-alone for integration into test instruments or testbeds.

octoFade-3GPP is an RTL solution that implements standards-based 2G/3G/LTE channel models (802.11n/ac models to be added soon). octoFade-module is a PCIe based FPGA board running octoFade-3GPP RTL in a PC system. A powerful applications programming interface (API) lets engineers and integrators configure octoFade logic with 3GPP certification channel models. Engineers can also configure octoFade with custom channel models.

octoFade-3GPP RTL and octoFade-module hardware can be easily integrated with test equipment, such as base station emulators or VSGs, thereby enabling these instruments to also serve as channel emulators, saving end-users the cost of expensive (typically over $ 100k) stand-alone channel emulators. An excellent platform for channel emulation is the recently announced National Instruments Vector Signal Transceiver (VST), a VSG and a VSA (vector signal analyzer) in a single module. Incorporating state of the art RF front end and FPGA subsystems, the NI VST hardware and open LabVIEW architecture make a perfect home for a multitude of test functions, including channel emulation.

National Instruments welcomes developers such as octoScope to enable the NI Vector Signal Transceiver with wireless channel emulation functionality. The addition of octoScope’s software-based IP extends the use of National Instruments RF instruments to a multitude of important test functions, particularly in an automated quality assurance testbed, said Eric Starkloff, VP of Marketing at National Instruments.

octoFade-module is the only channel-emulation solution that provides baseband interfaces for integration into test equipment or for use in a variety of radio development environments and testbeds, said Fanny Mlinarsky, president of octoScope. Competing channel emulation solutions burden users with expensive RF hardware, when in many cases the required hardware already exists in testbeds, she added.

octoFade-3GPP RTL and octoFade-module are a continuation of octoScopes channel emulation solution, octoFade-WiFi. octoFade-WiFi is a software-based implementation of 802.11n/ac channel models offering source code or executable library for test waveform generation.

octoScope plans to integrate channel emulation functionality with its octoBox controlled RF environment testbed to create a powerful laboratory setup capable of emulating real-world conditions, including multipath, Doppler, motion of devices, noise and interference. The octoBox testbed is currently used by engineers to test radio range, throughput, roaming and mesh functionality.

More about octoFade

Wireless connectivity is being incorporated into a widening variety of consumer devices and industrial controls, including phones, pads, PCs, access points, base stations, military and public safety handsets, vehicles, smart meters, sensors and other such devices comprising the emerging Internet of Things (IoT). Modern radios operate in hostile environments subject to multipath, interference and dynamically changing conditions due to motion of the radios and reflectors.

To ensure adequate performance and to optimize range and throughput of wireless devices, engineers increasingly rely on channel emulation for radio testing. With the emergence of MIMO radio technology, channel emulation has become a mandatory part of radio test in R&D and quality assurance.

For customers requiring outdoor 3GPP channel emulation solutions, octoFade-3GPP RTL and octoFade-module implement real-time LTE, WCDMA and GSM channel models. For customers requiring indoor 802.11n/ac channel models, octoFade-WiFi is currently available as C source code or an executable library for Windows and Linux systems, offering channel modeling capabilities for test waveform creation.

About octoScope

octoScope offers wireless test solutions and services to companies building or deploying wireless communications devices and networks, including LTE, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. octoScopes test solutions include a family of octoBox small anechoic chambers and octoFade channel emulation logic.

Nissan Orlando

There are so many reasons to visit a Nissan Orlando dealership during the holiday seasons. The holidays are a great time for car dealerships as they can make some really great deals on vehicles and people are more likely to buy. This is especially true of Christmas when people like to buy new vehicles for a loved one. They want to buy so all the Nissan Orlando dealership, or any other dealership for that matter, has to do is get them into the right vehicle at a price that both can agree on.

The holidays are great times to buy new vehicles too, because dealerships are going to be more likely to make you a great deal so that they can make their end of the year quotas and the like. Just be sure to test drive at least one vehicle that has caught your eye while you are at the Nissan Orlando dealership.
