SAN DIEGO, March 21 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mushroom Networks, an innovator in Broadband-Bonding™ and Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) platforms, today announced that leading IT services firm XPossible Technologies, Inc., has selected Mushroom Networks as a critical technology partner. XPossible provides easily integrated solutions to hotels and enterprises to provide easy, high-performance Internet access. Serving the Asia PAC region, XPossible develops technology platforms that make accessing the Internet convenient and easy for everyone from everywhere. “I am one satisfied customer,” said Henry Sitoasta, XPossible’s Officer-in-Charge at the Charter House. “With Mushroom Networks’ Truffle platform, I can easily check whenever something is wrong with our branch network, be it an issue with my line connection, my Internet provider, or a problem on the access point. Additionally, allocation of bandwidth per customer is very easy to manage, which is critical for our business.” XPossible makes extensive use of the Truffle SD-WAN Orchestration and Broadband Bonding appliance, which enables cost-effective and self-healing Internet access for businesses, enterprise branch offices, hotels and other multi-tenant buildings. Truffle load balances and intelligently orchestrates up to four (or optionally as many as eight or twelve) Internet lines to increase performance and up-time of applications and services that run over the Internet. Several T-1, DSL, cable modem, MPLS, metro-Ethernet or fiber services from different ISPs can be aggregated to provide increased bandwidth. Truffle provides a quick Return on Investment (ROI) and lower operating expenses. The payback period on the investment is often less than 6 months. Cahit Akin, CEO of Mushroom Networks, said, “Truffle is an industry leading example of how SD-WAN technology can provide more efficient and cost-effective solutions to today’s IT departments, as well as the channel providers that serve them.” As businesses begin to recognize the WAN as the primary performance bottleneck for cloud services and Internet connectivity, there has been a shift away from carrier-managed private networks like MPLS as the sole connectivity resource, due to hosted applications as well as lower cost and higher bandwidth availability. More and more businesses are looking to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and distributors/VARs for solutions that enable them to remotely and easily manage multiple locations with disparate connectivity. Mushroom’s channel partner programs include a wide range of SD-WAN and Broadband Bonding solutions for various vertical markets and are available for qualified resellers and service providers worldwide. mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=28722 SYDNEY, March 23 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- SpeedCast International Ltd (ASX: SDA) has opened an office in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea (PNG), to support the company's growing customer base in the energy and enterprise markets.

DANBURY, Conn., March 22 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq:FCEL), a global leader in delivering clean, innovative and affordable fuel cell solutions for the supply, recovery and storage of energy, today announced a memorandum of understanding with partner POSCO Energy to use an existing FuelCell Energy subsidiary to directly develop the Asian fuel cell business for the purpose of expanding Asian market opportunities. Under this agreement, FuelCell Energy will immediately commence marketing the entire suite of SureSource™ solutions in Korea as well as the broader Asian markets for the supply, recovery and storage of energy. POSCO Energy will continue to service the existing installed base of fuel cell plants in South Korea and will commit to a specified level of module purchases from FuelCell Energy to supplement its own local manufacturing for servicing their existing fleet. Definitive agreements are expected to be finalized by fall 2017 subject to completion of due diligence, regulatory approvals, and customary closing conditions. “Offering our entire portfolio of solutions throughout Asia aligns well with our growing list of global customers as well as sizeable projects with existing customers of POSCO Energy,” said Chip Bottone, President and Chief Executive Officer FuelCell Energy. “This revised relationship is structured to rapidly grow market opportunities and enable project-level investment by third parties while leveraging the deep relationships of POSCO Energy.” “We believe FuelCell Energy will be successful in the significant Asian utility-scale stationary fuel cell market by now directly marketing its high quality products,” said Dong Jun Yoon, President and Chief Executive Officer, POSCO Energy. The installed fleet in South Korea consists of 18 sites, totaling more than 170 megawatts with a customer base that includes 15 of Korea’s largest utilities and independent power producers. The backlog for the underlying service agreements for these installations includes over 300 megawatts of future fuel cell module production under existing service agreements. “We have the capabilities in place for the development, construction, operation and maintenance of fuel cell projects in Korea as we leverage our decade-plus working relationship with POSCO Energy; utilize our global monitoring and control center to remotely operate and monitor plants worldwide; continue to manage the joint purchasing from our shared global supply chain; and we helped design the production process and procured manufacturing equipment on behalf of POSCO Energy for the fuel cell manufacturing facility in South Korea,” commented Tony Rauseo, Chief Operating Officer, FuelCell Energy. “We see this as a natural evolution for growing the Asian market.” Fuel cells are well suited for addressing the energy, environmental and economic goals of the Korean government. High population density, limited land, and scarce natural resources that lead to the importation of more than 90 percent of the fuel needed to generate power and heat requires highly efficient and affordable power that can be located near where the power is used. The virtual lack of criteria pollutants and low carbon footprint of fuel cells combined with affordable economics and minimal space needs have led to significant fuel cell adoption by Korean utilities and independent power producers. With high availability and capacity factors, fuel cell power plants make meaningful contributions to Renewable Portfolio Standard targets.
