Spokane's ReliOn has one of its new fuel-cell backup systems nominated in the annual CTIA e-Tech Awards, given to companies introducing emerging new products in technology.
The company's microwave-oven-sized E-2500 fuel cell system has been named a finalist in the Green Telecom & Smart Energy Solutions, Applications and Hardware cagegory.
There are 14 separate categories in this year's CTIA contest, with winners chosen by popular vote.
