Deploy Smart Grid in Difficult and Varying Terrain

Your meters are in urban, suburban, and rural locations. Some of them are in underground vaults and meter lockers; others are in malls or high-rises. Mountains and valleys intersect your service territory. Some neighborhoods are home to the kinds of foliage and ground cover that complicate wireless communications, and your region is prone to certain weather extremes that play havoc with even sturdy equipment.

So where should we put our Access Points and Relays to assure you of complete and reliable network communications with your customers’ devices? How many Access Points, Relays, and Bridges will you need? Which wireless carriers will best suit your needs to obtain optimal but cost-effective coverage?

At the start of every project, we apply our network design and deployment expertise to your GIS databases and your meter location data. We create a scalable plan for how to implement an efficient and effective communications network within your service territory.

And we work with your staff to make the cost/benefit tradeoffs for the level of resiliency you require at a cost you can afford.
