VALDESE, North Carolina, April 18, 2012 ? Saft, the
world's leading designer and manufacturer of high?tech
industrial batteries, today announces cooperation with Alta
Industrial Automation Ltd. ("AIA") an innovator of wireless
solutions. AIA is utilizing a Saft rechargeable lithium?ion
battery in their Solar Battery product line for Class 1 Div 2
hazardous environments and extreme temperature operation.
AIA's Solar Battery solutions provide power, data acquisition
and wireless internet communication to simplify installation,
maintenance and support of remote hazardous environment
sensors.
"Our solar system, combined with the Saft rechargeable
lithium?ion battery, allows AIA customers to achieve
end?to?end monitoring and control of their fixed or mobile
assets in extreme climatic conditions," said Gary Allbee,
president, AIA. "Our customers can now quickly and
conveniently connect their assets online to the internet and
perform operational updates through our
eTrackDataTM server solution."
"With the AIA Solar Battery installed, we have substantial
operating cost savings, and we no longer deal with battery
exchange and disposal. More importantly, in the most harsh
low temperature conditions, our data collection and process
is more reliable with the Solar Battery as our primary power
source," reported Peter A. Hebert, Corrosion Technologist
with Taqa North Ltd.
During the week of April 30, 2012, the two companies plan to
partner for a demonstration of the solar battery system at

intrinsically safe, high?performance batteries for the oil
and gas industry," said Thomas Alcide, general manager of
Saft's Specialty Battery Group and president, Saft America
Inc. "We are excited to be able to demonstrate our innovative
