New Hampshire: Gambit Communications has been announced as a GOLD winner of the prestigious International Green Apple Award for Environmental best practice. The Award was in recognition of Gambit's environmentally friendly product - MIMIC Wireless Simulator - Virtual Green Lab for wireless devices. This is the second time in a row that Gambit was honored with the GOLD award.
"We are absolutely delighted to have achieved this prestigious international award, again" said Uwe Zimmermann, President of Gambit Communications. "We are committed to create networking software in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner. Our product, MIMIC Wireless Simulator, has been helping companies decrease the carbon footprint, saving energy, and dramatically reduce the wireless and wired equipment along with the space needed."
The Green Apple Awards are presented annually in recognition of companies, councils and communities carrying out projects that are environmentally friendly; there were 500 nominations this year. Other winners include Genzyme and Fiat Group Automobiles UK.
The judges at the Green Organisation commented: "Gambit have created a software solution to a hardware problem, creating impressive savings in costs, power and materials. Data handling firms are continually having to update and expand to meet the ever changing IT landscape, MIMIC has expansion designed in and allows existing technology to easily carry out the expanding roles demanded of it, in simple terms this equates to bottom line savings of 90 percent."
The award-winning MIMIC Simulator product will be featured in the next Green Book, the world's only work of reference on environmental best practices, and it will also receive a Green Hero Wall Shield award during a special prize ceremony on board the Royal Yacht Britannia, Edinburgh, in February.
The use of MIMIC Simulator decreases the electricity requirements by 90 percent, reduces the current and future capital expense and removes the worry of recycling old electronic products or properly disposing of electronic waste such as lead and mercury.
The Green Apple Awards campaign is run by The Green Organisation, an independent, non-political, non-profit organisation that recognizes, rewards and promotes environmental best practice around the world. Campaign Manager Mark Wolens commented: "To show continued interest in environmental issues during the current financial climate shows great foresight and they deserve the recognition of being Green Apple Award winners. They invest in a better future for us all and deserve to be recognized for their efforts."
