Published in House and Home on Monday, March 2nd 2009 at 5:46 GMT, Last Modified on 2009-03-02 05:47:52 by Market WireTORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 2, 2009) - Schneider Power Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SNE) announced today that it has signed a Letter of Intent with Triton Telecom Inc. ("Triton"), a subsidiary of Cobian International Group, Inc. of Orlando, Florida, to pursue an alternative renewable energy solution to power an undersea cable system between Miami and Puerto Rico.
The Letter of Intent outlines a proposed transaction where Schneider Power and Triton will collaborate to power "Seahorse-1", a 4,850 km ring comprised of 4 Fibre pairs between Miami, Florida; Cacique, Dominican Republic; and Isla Verde, Puerto Rico using renewable energy. The system will be the first renewable energy powered underwater fibre optic communications network in the world and will use traditional power plants only as a backup.
The Seahorse-1 project's first priority is the environment. In addition to being powered by renewable energy, the cable will employ earth saving techniques and materials to allow for an invasion-free impact on nature and the oceans. The goal of the project is to showcase new ways to provide cost-effective, innovative technology that will serve the public interest whilst having minimal environmental impact.
"This is an industry first and we are proud to be able to support Triton in bringing their goal of an environmentally friendly system to fruition." Said Thomas Schneider, Vice-Chairman and President of Schneider Power Inc.
Kameel Wakim, Chief Technology Officer for Cobian International Group, said "Renewable energy is a proven technology that we need to apply to all telecom solutions offered around the world. We were given this challenge by our CEO in 2005 and today Seahorse-1 reflects our commitment to innovation and the environment. Schneider Power is a future thinking company that can help us to achieve this goal."
