Pioneering Technology Corp. (TSX-V: PTE; OTC BB: PTEFF), (“Pioneering”), an energy smart product innovation and consumer goods company, announced that Headquarters for the U.S. Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (“HQ AFCESA”) recommends the installation of Safe-T-element on all existing residential ranges to improve the “quality-of-life” for tenants of government-owned, government-operated Military Family Housing (“MFH”). The announcement was made at the Professional Housing Management Association/Military Housing and Lodging Institute’s Professional Development & Trade Expo in San Diego.
The recent A-Gram written by Senior Fire Protection Engineer Raymond N. Hansen and distributed to all base civil engineers, fire prevention, facility managers and housing managers entitled Range Top Fire Prevention System for Residential Type Kitchen Ranges, instructed that, “(Military) installations now have the opportunity to prevent the most common cause of MFH fires and potentially reduce operating costs. This product (Safe-T-element) is unique because it prevents a fire rather than trying to suppress it”.
The A-Gram goes on to highlight the following:
“Cooking is the leading cause of residential fires (44%). Previously, systems intended for fire suppression were the only option, but they cost more money than they saved. Now a solution is available that will prevent these fires from ever starting. This is the supplemental safety device known as the Safe-T-element”…
…”Installation of the Safe-T-element device on existing coil burner ranges is suggested as a “quality-of-life” improvement for tenants of government-owned, government-operated MFH. An additional benefit is reducing the number of responses that will be required from the installation’s fire emergency services”…
…”Also, Section 6-3.2 of UFC 3-600-01, Fire Protection Engineering for Facilities, requires that a residential range-top extinguishing system be installed to protect certain residential-type ranges installed in non-residential-type buildings. The Safe-T-element device is approved in lieu of those required range top extinguishing systems, which will significantly reduce range installation costs and increase fire safety”.
Pioneering’s patented Safe-T-element cooking technology has a track record of success helping to prevent stove top cooking fires while also saving energy. Available on new ranges or as a retrofit, this technology is now installed on over 60,000 ranges in multi-residential housing throughout North America and in thousands of Military Family Housing units on U.S. military bases around the world.
Pioneering CEO Kevin Callahan noted that, “This is a very meaningful development for this technology which is having great success in MFH housing around the world helping protect those who protect us. We are grateful for the confidence the military has placed in this product and we are honored to be playing a small role in helping to protect these men and women and their families from the dangers of stovetop cooking fires”.

TS2 Satellite Technologies company is introducing new broadband satellite services to the Afghan market. The broadband service offer two-way high-speed Internet access with no phone lines, no cable, no dial-up modem. It’s always online, available virtually anywhere, and affordable. The offered satellite system is ideally suited for broadband requirements such as Internet and VPN access to enterprise networks, as well as real-time VoIP and video conferencing.
The Internet connection can be shared with other users via wireless or wired network. Most soldiers deploy with a laptop in hand and a hookup to the Internet in their barracks. This is especially important for the many who are married, and have young children. The Internet access has resulted in major morale improvements. Troops no longer feel cut off from home.
Not all the Internet connectivity is just for staying in touch with the folks back home. The troops in Afghanistan use the Internet a lot for professional tasks, and not all of them are official business. Some troops blog, and many other stay in touch with military friends and associates in other parts of the world. The Internet has made possible many online communities composed of military professionals.
Without the new satellite system, large numbers of Soldiers will be without regular communications for much or most of their time in Afghanistan. The infrastructure is Spartan to non-existent.
