A New Layout for Winter,
When I worked in the UK some years back, one of the most successful Technical Product Advertising Campaigns, run by a company similar to MasTec.
This was the brain child of a smart marketing director and it was simply this:- a magazine page displaying a series of small boxes with product pictures and bingo # in text below it.
When you received your mag there was a bingo card inside you filled in and mailed back to the publisher who in turn sent it to the company and they sent the info by snail mail. Sometimes you lucked out by receiving a large catalog, but mostly simple brochures.
So I thought why not try this as a new way to make an eNewsletter, since the web is excellent with these mediums. (We could even add voice and video on each of the picts also but that may be too much)
So here it is for a trial run. Let us know what you think of this.
A new distribution in place.
Cotek - Taiwan's Premier Inverter maker
Cotek has come back to MasTec after an absence of 5 years. MasTec introduced Cotek to NZ back in the late 90s.
Cotek make an extremely nice range of eco products; - Inverters, Power Supplies, AC Transfer Switch Inverters and three stage battery Chargers.

A New Service
As we mentioned last month, we are finding many small start up companies are having difficulty exposing their products to the market.
Next product
Our second exposure for this month is from Infranet Systems, a New Zealand company that is releasing:-
Web - IP Based, Infrastructure Monitoring and Control Systems - Web Viewing. This series of products called "Infranet Cyber" have been in the design phase for over two years and field trialed during that time also.
There are two major products:- Basically the same device, configured specifically..
First release
A Marine based system for monitoring and controlling mobile or stationary infrastructure on the sea/water.
Each site/boat/yacht/ship will have a localised intelligent controller connected to a 3G or GPRS router reporting to a web server that allow management both on shore or off shore, to view using a standard browser. On board there are various direct system screen options for on board viewing and inputs ( No Browser required).
Configuration for each of the various craft's remote end points for monitoring or controlling is done on the web site at purchase time and can be changed and upgraded by the end user.
Monitoring and controlling allows the fuel, water, engine systems, and catering supplies all to be viewed as the craft is moving. This allows an inventory of supplies to be at port whern the craft arrives for replentishing.
It is even possible to build a passage chart and download from the browser into the craft's navigation system. This is routes to take etc for automatic steerage.
GPS also allows following and mapping the craft as it moves.
Information such as headings, speed, even pitch, yaw and roll can be viewed.
As a marine infrastructure management tool this is unique and as a security device essential.
Security systems will allow for continous monitoring of access to the craft and SMS and emails will be issued if triggered.
Second Release
Fundamentally a water management system for land, but with a large swath of other abilities.
Typical sites :- for golf courses, large park areas, apartments, houses on tank or well water, schools, prisons, farms, hospitals and other facilities that have need for water monitoring due to government requirements.
Of particular interest to many is the remote rental holiday house/resort/asset that need long distance monitoring and control. This can be anywhere on the earth.
Complete customisable control of water resources, such as running pumps, tank levels, well levels, water usage, UV steriliser performance can all be monitored on a browser and SMS and email alarms can be sent if a system gets out of spec.
This land package also can be used at the same time for security, energy management, generator control, aircondition monitoring, alternative power systems.
An array of transducers are available to connect to the monitoring system s well as relays, SSRs and FETS for control.
Serial streaminf is also possible from devices with parss extracting data.
Connection is via ADSL or if not available 3G or lastly GPRS.
