Cellular smart grid software company Grid Net says it just released an extended and expanded software platform, Grid Net Platform v2.7, which provides a variety of new features for 3G public cellular smart grid deployments.

 

"Grid Net pioneered the cellular smart grid model in 2008 with our first private 4G WiMAX deployment at SP AusNet," said John W. Combs, Grid Net chairman and CEO. "Over time, as component prices and bandwidth costs decreased, both telecom carriers and utilities signaled a willingness to move forward with 3G cellular public networks. It is a significant challenge to create a secure and cost effective smart grid over public networks, but we have done it with v2.7, our most advanced cellular smart grid innovation to date."

 

The company says the transformation of traditional cellular voice and data networks to machine-to-machine networks has resulted in a device density from hundreds per cell to tens of thousands per cell, and that those extremely dense networks need sophisticated optimization and security techniques to protect and get the most out of network resources.
