• Los Gatos four electric car charging stations, all supplied by Campbell-based Couloumb Technologies. The company received its funding from a federal Department of Energy grant to help municipalities provide the stations to the public.

• Dasher Technologies, a systems integrator, also snagged a spot on this year’s Solution Provider 500 list. It placed as number 181, moving up from number 272 in 2011. 

• Campbell’s Society for Information Display, a top global organization dedicated to advancing electronic display products, announced its 2012 ‘Best of Show’ winners last Wednesday. They included Dimenco’s stereo 3D-display and Samsung’s 55-inch AMOLED TV. 

• Soonr was chosen by AlwaysOn as one of its OnMobile Top 10 winners. The Campbell company was recognized for turning mobile devices such as the iPad into secure business tools. Through cloud technologies, Soonr helps companies across the world work together and access data. They will accept their award Wednesday in Redwood City.
