Wireless experts from R3Coms win the Fog Tank Award
EchoRing ™ system convinces the jury in San Francisco
After this year’s hot spring that included winning the IEIC IoT Challenge in Shenzhen, China, R3 Communications (R3Coms) faces a variety of hot moments this fall – the first happened yesterday by winning another international award: the Fog Tank Award.
The Fog Tank Award finals took place yesterday afternoon (October 3rd, 2018) in the context of the Fog World Congress in San Francisco, USA. R3Coms’ EchoRing™ technology, represented by Managing Director Florian Bonanati, was competing against four other fog technology related startups: Ankalabs, Difuon, IoT Cloud, and KidSense. In the end, the four members of the jury were particularly convinced by EchoRing™’s outstanding potential to become a game-changing technology in industrial communications.
"There are a lot of opportunities for Deterministic Wireless and particularly our technology EchoRing™ in industrial automation," says Florian Bonanati – and continues "I am very glad to win this award for EchoRing™ and I am especially proud of the team behind it – the best team in the world!"
It is not yet clear what is going to happen to the 25K$ price money. However, it is not a secret that R3Coms is not only well known for its innovative radio technology, but also for the notion to celebrate coffee sessions – chances are, thus, that a new coffee machine will consume at least parts of the amount…
