NISSAN CONFIRMS TELEFONIX L1 POWERPOST ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION COMPATIBILITY Telefonix, Inc., manufacturer of the PowerPost ® commercial electric vehicle (EV) charging station product line, has confirmed that the company's L1 PowerPost electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) has been tested at the Nissan Technical Center in Plymouth, Michigan. The company reports that the L1 PowerPost EVSE is fully compatible with the Nissan LEAF ® battery electric vehicle. The testing procedure at Nissan simulates various charging situations and fault conditions. Says Bill Williams of Telefonix, "The results we've received from Nissan confirm that the L1 PowerPost EV charg- ing station is not only compatible with the LEAF, but also compliant with SAE J1772 best practice recommendations." Telefonix developed the L1 PowerPost EVSE specifically for work- place charging and longer term parking situations such as airports, hotels and edu- cation facilities. LEAF and other plug-in vehicle drivers put approxi- mately five miles back into their battery for every hour they are plugged into the L1 PowerPost electric vehicle charging station. This low current charging helps reduce overall energy costs by avoiding spikes that can increase a facility's peak energy demand. The L1 PowerPost EVSE can be customized with advertising or logos as seen above at the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in North Chicago, Illinois.

LINKA: UPGRADE A CAR'S AUX-IN TO A WIFI AUDIO CONNECTION The world's 1st WiFi audio adapter for cars' audio systems, LINKA, is able to upgrade an existing car's audio system from Wire to Wireless (WiFi Audio) via the AUX-IN port. LINKA is designed for this simple task with really high quality audio streaming from your iPhone (Airplay) or Android (DLNA) device to a car's audio system. Using WiFi technology brings more exciting features compared to Bluetooth technology, and LINKA also adds more features to better fit the car environment. JAM Music – WiFi allows multiple devices to connect at the same time, so there is no pair / un- pair problem like there is with Bluetooth devices. Everyone can play music in the car over the WiFi connec- tion. High resolution audio supports Airplay & DLNA, which can support 24bit/192Khz FLAC. No more A2DP audio compression over Bluetooth. LINKA is designed for upgrading AUX-IN to a WiFi audio connection, no matter whether your car is a new model or an older one. Even if you already have a Bluetooth connection you should add WiFi audio capability to your car as well. You will notice a huge difference between both technologies. You will love LINKA, that's for sure. LINKA is the product of NEXUM. TURN UP THE MUSIC ANYWHERE Samson Technologies has announced its latest portable Bluetooth sound system, the Expedition Escape. "Everyone has seen the countless portable wireless speakers on the market, however we noticed the absence of a sys- tem that could produce the powerful vol- ume and distinguished clarity needed to properly project the music we're all so passionate about to a large amount of peo- ple," says Samson President Jack Knight. With its premium two-way speaker design, the Escape has enough volume to entertain large parties, as well as outdoor events like barbecues, tailgates and group exercise sessions.

The Escape even contains a 1/4 mic input with a separate volume control for delivering presentations, lectures or, for those brave enough, sing-alongs to streaming music. A USB port for charging a smartphone and/or tablet is also included. With its convenient integrated carry handle, the Expedition Escape brings serious sound to activities like camping, boating and days at the park, beach or poolside. The Escape retails for $99.99.
