The "going green" movement these days seems to be gaining momentum. More people are buying hybrid cars, wind turbines, and investing in solar power technologies. Ecosphere Technologies debutes its Ecos LifeLink a portable, self-contained micro-utility that helps support off-grid needs including disaster relief and activity in remote locations. A model of the Ecos LifeLink will be unveiled at this week's Cleantech Venture Forum in San Franciso.

The Eco's LifeLink solution represents a combination of patent-pending products from EES including the Ecos Power Cube, a mobile solar generator, and the Ecos Com Cube, a wireless communications platform.

Deployed as two 20-foot Power Cubes, the Ecos LifeLink meets many growing demands, but the one I found interesting was it's reliable 24/7 communication. Centered around the Ecos Com Cube, the communications control room is equipped with a satellite communications and electrical power management system that leverages the energy generated from LifeLink's renewable energy sources to provide electricity and power a full range of wireless VSAT, VOIP and wireless communications capable of handling thousands of phone calls and offering wireless connectivity for a range of up to 30 miles.

Pretty cool if you ask me and you can read the entire article here, Ecosphere Technologies' Solar Powered Micro-Utility Meets Off-Grid Demands
