SmartSynch Joins TechNetJackson, MS — March 3, 2008 SmartSynch, a pioneer of public wireless smart metering technology, has joined TechNet, the bipartisan, political network of CEOs and Senior Executives that promotes the growth of technology and the innovation economy in the U.S. TechNet's mission is to unite its members with leading policy makers to sustain and advance America’s global leadership in technology and innovation. The organization accomplishes this via a number of activities, including meetings with elected officials, Administration representatives and candidates for elective office, as well as events and industry-based initiatives that educate thought leaders and the public about technology policy issues. In 2007 alone, TechNet hosted CEO/Senior Executive Roundtables with presidential candidates Senator John McCain, Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Governor Mitt Romney. “Through its policies, advocacy and the power of its network, TechNet has a tremendous impact on federal and state issues that are critical to the promotion of U.S. innovation and global competitiveness, particularly where green technologies are concerned," said Stephen D. Johnston, Chief Executive Officer at SmartSynch. "The cleantech revolution is here to stay, thanks in large measure to organizations like TechNet that are helping policymakers grasp the magnitude of the environmental challenges we're facing today and the immense potential of innovation as the solution to these challenges." Headquartered in Jackson, Miss., SmartSynch has been developing successful Smart Grid Intelligence solutions for the utility industry since 2000. The company’s cleantech innovations in the two-way delivery of real-time energy usage data over public wireless networks (AT&T, etc.), in lieu of private network build-outs, have to date simplified SmartMeter deployments for 65+ major North American utilities, while enabling green-energy initiatives and delivering significantly higher Returns on Resources. “Facing national security and economic challenges, our nation's political and business leaders recognize that the world’s energy crisis can no longer be ignored,” said John Drescher, Executive Director of TechNet's Pacific Northwest Region. “SmartSynch's products empower consumers of energy to help alleviate the burden on the nation's utility capacity and bring burgeoning demand more in line with limited supply. Their knowledge and expertise will prove invaluable during our TechNet Day event in Washington, D.C., March 12-13, and our cleantech event scheduled for later this spring in Seattle, Washington."
