San Mateo, CA, Dec. 20, 2005 -- Silver Spring Networks announced that they have successfully deployed a smart meter network pilot project for Westario Power Services Inc. The project was initiated as part of the Ontario Utilities Smart Metering (OUSM) Working Group's smart metering evaluations. The goal of Ontario's "smart meter" initiative is to advance energy conservation in Ontario by offering value-added services such as demand response, peak pricing, interval data collection and load management.
Silver Spring Networks' products and technologies enable the creation of a multipurpose network infrastructure for electric, water and gas utilities that can automate costly and time-consuming utility processes, reduce energy costs and improve distribution system reliability. Silver Spring Networks' solution builds a scalable, reliable infrastructure from the substation to the customer premise. This two-way, IP-based, multi-purpose network infrastructure, known as the last mile utility network, makes it possible for a utility to control and monitor the entire distribution network.
Working with Rodan Energy & Metering Solutions for installation services and GE Energy for advanced meters, Silver Spring Networks designed, implemented and installed an AMI solution for Westario Power Services, Inc. The implementation at Westario includes the network infrastructure, full function, Time of Use and Load Profile meters from GE, as well as network and information management software. The system is delivering 2 channels of 15 minute interval data, full security logs and rich current TOU/register reads from every meter, every day.
