Trilliant Obtains Approval from Measurement Canada for its MeshReader™ in the Landis+Gyr Focus® Meter, and Completes Installation of Plug n’ Play Mesh at Milton Hydro
Trilliant Incorporated announced the revision of the Landis+Gyr Focus meter approval by Measurement Canada to include Trilliant’s MeshReader communication solution. Concurrently, Trilliant announced the successful deployment of its Plug n’ Play OpenMesh™ solution at Milton Hydro.
“The Focus meter equipped with the MeshReader is the foundation for a solution that exceeds the requirements for an open Advanced Metering Infrastructure,” said Bill Vogel, Founder, Senior Vice President Strategic Development of Trilliant. “Our MeshReader integrated into the Landis+Gyr Focus meter has received approval from Measurement Canada. This solution is built on open standards and has built-in features to support affordable migration from AMR to AMI.”
OpenMesh Network Solution
Trilliant’s MeshReader establishes a two-way wireless communication path to the MeshGate™ that collects the data and provides access to a private or public wireless network. If needed, the messages may “hop” through several neighboring MeshReader-equipped meters before reaching the MeshGate access point. MeshReaders and MeshGates employ an open infrastructure built on IEEE 802.15.4, Internet protocols, and ANSI C12 communication standards, and are compatible with a variety of meters, handheld devices, smart phones, PDAs, in-home energy display, and smart thermostats.
“This project represents a significant step toward the future,” noted Don Thorne, President and CEO of Milton Hydro, “This advanced metering infrastructure provides us the capabilities to deal with dynamic rates, increase service reliability, support demand/ response programs, and help improve service quality for Milton’s customers”.
