Already home to over 200 different unified communications focused clients, who rely on the company for robust end-to-end solutions that seamlessly span the widest range of audio input devices, from POTS (plain old telephone service), to two-way and iDEN (TDMA-based digital wireless standard invented by Motorola with integrated push-to-talk) radio networks, Cleartronic’s (OTC: CLRI) wholly owned VoiceInterop subsidiary continues to act as a one-stop-shop for government agencies and large commercial enterprises. VoiceInterop’s family of AudioMate360 IP voice gateway devices, along with cutting-edge AudioMate Software and HTTP-based AudioMate Configuration Console for managing hundreds of AudioMate360 devices at once, constitute an open-ended, device-agnostic architecture that is capable of handling everything from unified real-time voice communications, to executing programs and transferring data.

Whereas most solutions in the sector today are highly hardware-centric, VoiceInterop’s subscription-based X-Stream Access service takes a completely different approach, allowing users to leverage existing IT and telecom infrastructure in order to create a platform that enables any authorized user to securely communicate using any radio, telephony, or PC device, irrespective of frequency, manufacturer, or system-based protocols. This universalized approach also allows VoiceInterop to take a standards-based software development approach, bundling feature-rich middleware applications together which third party system integrators can resell.

One of the primary endpoints of such an approach is that these kinds of unified communications (UC) solutions can be executed in a highly scalable fashion, meaning that they can be expanded or contracted with ease to meet the size or changing dynamics of a given client. Whether the client is a small/local government agency, or a sprawling multinational with personnel all over the globe, they can rapidly implement a solution using the company’s easy to deploy software, or have VoiceInterop handle the details. The other major end point with such solutions is the associated cost-effectiveness that only such tailored architectures provide, making it so even government agencies on a tight budget can migrate to a truly 21st century UC solution without breaking the bank.

One of VoiceInterop’s strongest client sectors has and continues to be airports, an environment where real-time UC can mean the difference between life and death, both for emergency service teams, and flight crew/passengers. When a wide-body jet with over a hundred passengers crashes just shy of the runway at one of the world’s busiest international airports, response time and the ability to coordinate field personnel, as well as said personnel’s ability to communicate with one another while out in the field, is of paramount importance. When the unthinkable happens, it is too late to start worrying about a comprehensive UC solution that is hassle-free and can provide the kind of rock-solid, guaranteed response capabilities needed to avert further catastrophe.

In such an event, air traffic controllers in the tower need to be able to simply pick up a phone and instantly connect with first responders at the crash site, as well as other airport personnel. Unfortunately, many airports around the country still are woefully lacking when it comes to a robust UC solution, and so VoiceInterop has been helping clients, like Orlando’s Sanford International Airport, with custom installations and ongoing support of secure, interoperable UC solutions. Other VoiceInterop clients include such well-known airports as Dulles, Green Bay, Omaha, Reagan, and West Palm Beach.

The latest client to hop on board is Edmonton Regional Airports Authority, which manages emergency response at both Edmonton International and the Villeneuve Airport. The company is tasked with providing its site-customized VoiceInterop Crash Phone system in both cases, a system utilizing the company’s proprietary software and leveraging both standard commercial communications devices and existing infrastructure, like IP telephones, two-way radios, and the overhead paging/alert systems, all organized and finely tuned to meet the specific needs of each facility’s personnel.

Moreover, because the system architectures are so highly scalable and built around the software as the real backbone for connectivity, the VoiceInterop Crash Phone systems installed at these facilities can grow as the locations do, allowing for cheap, easy, and effective changes to be made in the future, with system upgrades completed simply by making minor alterations to the software environment. It’s easy to see why airports and emergency first responders and agencies like fire and rescue, as well as law enforcement, trust Cleartronic to provide mission-critical UC solutions, given the low cost, broad-spectrum capability, and easy scalability they provide.

Today before the opening bell, Dominovas Energy announced that it has entered a 3MW multi-year Power Provider Agreement (PPA) to provide electricity to the Somico Mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) via its proprietary RUBICON™ Solid Oxide Fuel Cell system. This news immediately follows a press release issued last week of a different multi-megawatt power provider agreement in the same country with the City of David. The two wins can be attributed to Dominovas Energy’s ongoing campaign to electrify the continent with its state-of-the-art, clean, reliable, and efficient source for power generation.

Located in the SANKURU/LUSAMBO region of the DRC, the Somico Mine has one of the largest certified concentrations of diamonds, gold and iron ore in Africa. The mine is one of several operated by SOMICO-RDC SARL. Dominovas Energy plans to use the Somico Mine project as a model for deploying RUBICON™ systems throughout Africa and other global markets. With the vast reserves of natural resources in Africa, the mining sector represents a tremendous opportunity for the company’s continued expansion across diverse applications of its proprietary fuel cell system. The mining sector in Africa represents a multibillion dollar industry with the potential to deploy more than 25,000 MW of power to mining operations and their communities.

Dominovas Energy anticipates beginning the physical deployment of the RUBICON™ in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Q4 of 2016. According to today’s press release, “The 3MW installation is a continuation of what is the largest single deployment of fuel cell technology on the continent of Africa, representing a paradigm shift in the DRC’s approach to addressing concerns regarding harmful carbon emissions, and to reducing the ever-expanding equipment maintenance and inefficiencies that are associated with increased costs, as are endemic with power generation from diesel generators, combined-cycle gas-fired turbine (CCGT) power plants, and other combustion-centric technologies.”

The company stated the RUBICON™ will produce over 25.5 million kWh of clean, efficient, and reliable electricity every year with the 3MW Power Provider Agreement (PPA) yielding more than US$107 million in guaranteed revenue over the multi-year term PPA.

Emilio De Jesus, President of Dominovas Energy’s Africa Division, commented, “I am thrilled that my executive management team has given me the latitude to execute to this scale and magnitude. Somico Mine will establish the new blueprint for how mine operators in Africa and other emerging markets support their mining operations, using off-grid ‘clean’ energy solutions.”

Dominovas Energy’s COO, Michael Watkins, added, “This is an exciting day for Dominovas Energy. Today, we are reaping the benefits of sales cycle maturation that has required patience, diligence, and careful planning. As a result, our pipeline of projects is creating the type of production scale that will promote efficient and cost-effective manufacturing. Our signed PPAs will further support job creation and expansion domestically, as the RUBICON™ is manufactured and supported by a robust supply-chain in the U.S.”

Houston-based Well Power is targeting the oil and gas industry with a particular focus on commercializing a patented solution to convert flared, shut-in and stranded gas into clean power and engineered fuels. Using this mobile, high-yield technology licensed from ME Resources Corp. (“MEC”), Well Power aims to reduce waste emission and capitalize on this niche market of the oil and gas industry.

Each year, billions of cubic meters of natural gas are flared at oil production sites all over the world. According to the World Bank Group, gas flaring not only wastes a valuable energy resource, it also contributes to climate change by releasing more than 300 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.

In April, The World Bank announced that chief executives from major oil companies, including Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS-A, NYSE:RDS-B) and Statoil CEO (NYSE:STO), were convening with senior government officials from several oil-producing countries to commit to ending routine gas flaring. Already endorsed by nine countries, 10 oil companies and a handful of development institutions, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim concurrently launched the “Zero Routine Flaring by 2030” initiative to end routine gas flaring at oil production sites by the year 2030.

“Gas flaring is a visual reminder that we are wastefully sending CO2 into the atmosphere,” Jim Yong Kim stated in an earlier news release. “We can do something about this. Together we can take concrete action to end flaring and to use this valuable natural resource to light the darkness for those without electricity.”

Well Power is gearing up to participate in this broader movement through the commercialization of the licensed Micro-Refinery Unit (MRU), which processes raw natural gas into green fuel (such as diluents, drop-in diesel and pipeline quality synthetic crude) and clean power. MEC’s solution simultaneously reduces CO2 emissions while creating revenue streams with minimal capital expenditure.

Well Power has secured the licensing rights to Texas with the first right of refusal on the other U.S. states, such as North Dakota, where gas flaring is a significant and concern. The company plans to be able to provide its technology with full-service engineering, design, construction, modular fabrication, maintenance and construction management services to clients in the upstream areas of exploration and production.

In addition, Well Power will offer consulting services, process assessments, facility appraisals, feasibility studies, technology evaluations, project finance structuring and support, and multi-client subscription services.

Leveraging the potential of the MRUs, Well Power is aligned with the Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative and offers the opportunity to create value from a wasted resource while enabling wider access to energy, improved environmental conditions, and economic development for local populations.
