Bothell, WA (Sept 16, 2014) – Neah Power Systems Inc. (‘Neah’), an innovator and supplier of cutting-edge power solutions for the military, transportation and portable electronics industries, is proud to launch their Indiegogo campaign for its BuzzBar Suite and a partnership to bring computing power to rural African classrooms using the recently released BuzzBar® Suite of products. The BuzzBar® is a new groundbreaking product that enables off-the-grid recharging of mobile consumer electronics using solar, grid, or proprietary fuel cell technology. If you frequently travel or go “off-grid” for any length of time, you will need a power source for your critical electronics. The BuzzBar Suite provides a simple power solution for anyone who needs “power to go.” This BuzzBar Suite can also be a life-saving product in an emergency.
Neah is partnering with the Asante Africa Foundation, a not-for-profit 503(c) corporation deploying tablet computers into remote African classrooms through their “Classroom in a Box” program, which will provide rich teaching material and expose children to content they would otherwise not have access to. Schools in remote villages are far from the grid and therefore require alternative power solutions. For every 25 BuzzBar Suite units sold, Neah Power will donate one BuzzBar Suite to Asante Africa Foundation.
“We believe there is a strong demand for a simple device that can enable people to go farther and travel longer with their vital electronics. There is nothing quite like the BuzzBar Suite,” said Dr. Chris D’Couto, CEO of Neah Power Systems. “We are eager to showcase the product’s power and are excited to bring the potential of Indiegogo® to this effort. Partnering with Asante Africa Foundation allows us to do good and further a very worthy cause.”
“We are pleased to partner with Neah Power Systems to deploy these products and enable a 21st Century learning experience to the children in Africa,” said Erna Grasz, CEO of Asante Africa Foundation.

This is the ONLY product on the market that we are aware of that works simultaneously with any or all of the following power sources – solar, batteries (AA/AAA), grid or fuel cell (available in Dec 2014). Imagine the functionality!
