Wireless and leading smart grid data management solutions provider ElectSolve
today announced a partnership to provide cooperative and municipal
utilities with a pre-validated, pre-integrated Smart Metering and
critical infrastructure monitoring solution. Utilizing On-Ramps
Ultra-Link Processing (ULP) wireless infrastructure system and
ElectSolves uCentra meter and operational data management platform,
utilities are able to quickly realize the operational benefits of the
Smart Grid while minimizing costs and risks afforded by a simple and
secure validated solution which can reach all multi-service utility
assets from single wireless network.
“This integration has resulted in a valuable solution that utilities
will immediately find beneficial”
The easy-to-implement solution enables utilities to securely and
reliably provide service for electric, water and gas smart meters and
distribution automation applications in overhead, pad mount and below
ground circuits, as well as manage, analyze and report the operational
data from a centralized platform. The deployment agility afforded by the
simple and reliable On-Ramp ULP wireless infrastructure eliminates the
need and associated costs of building out a network one meter at a time.
Leveraging standards-based protocols like IEC 61968-9 Interface for
Meter Reading and Control, the ULP network and uCentra MDM/ODM can
reliably exchange data.
Utilities worldwide will benefit from the cost savings that this
pre-integrated solution provides, as it reduces unnecessary field time
building ad-hoc interfaces that extend the duration of a project, said
Joaquin Silva, President and CEO of On-Ramp. ElectSolves solution was
the ideal match for On-Ramps technology, and we look forward to a
successful partnership.
This integration has resulted in a valuable solution that utilities
will immediately find beneficial, said Mark Ponder, President and CEO
of ElectSolve. Utilities will realize immediate operational benefits
with a pre-integrated standards-based system that is available today for
their Smart Grid initiatives.
About On-Ramp Wireless
On-Ramp Wireless has developed the first wireless system purpose-built
to efficiently connect billions of hard-to-reach devices in metro scale
and other challenging environments. On-Ramps field-proven Ultra-Link
Processing system enables low-power monitoring and control applications
within Smart Grid, water efficiency, industrial sensing, and location
tracking. Operating in un-licensed spectrum, our signal processing
innovation finds weak signals even in high noise environments, yielding
extreme coverage, immunity to high interference, and significantly
lowers cost. For more information, visit www.onrampwireless.com.
