Telemetric Announces Support of General Electric KV2C Meters to Deliver Intelligent AMI Solution for Substation and Commercial & Industrial Meters

IEEE PES Conference, Chicago, IL – April 22, 2008 – Telemetric Corporation, a leader in Intelligent Grid wireless communication solutions for the electric utility industry, unveiled today at the IEEE PES Transmission and Distribution Conference in Chicago, the availability of an end-to-end wireless communication solution for the GE kV2c commercial & industrial meters. Unlike piecemeal solutions where the customer is forced to integrate communication hardware, wireless networks and software from multiple vendors, the Telemetric solution provides an integrated end-to-end solution of intelligent digital cellular hardware, digital cellular communications over the AT&T wireless network, and Telemetric’s PowerVistaTM software. The benefit to the customer is the ability to deploy powerful twoway remote C&I metering solutions rapidly and cost-effectively, with no infrastructure investment required. Telemetric’s open system based upon ANSI C12 meter protocol, a digital IP-based cellular network, and PowerVista software enable flexible applications and integration of meter data to the customer’s meter data management system. This solution is ideal for situations where utilities need real-time metering data and alarms such as delivery point or commercial and industrial metering.

Telemetric’s Remote Telemetry Module (RTM) for C12 metering provides the communication hardware solution for the GE kV2c meter. Unlike a simple modem, the Telemetric RTM is an intelligent communications processor with integrated digital GSM/GPRS cellular radio. The RTM supports a user-customizable ANSI C12 meter ‘profile’ that can be configured to read any of the kV2c’s ANSI table values – including active, reactive and apparent energy, demand, TOU, alarms and meter identification data. The RTM’s ANSI C12 profile and configuration can be changed over the digital cellular network. Besides the ability to query any of the meter’s C12 data points at any time, the user can configure meter alarms or analog range changes which the RTM reports immediately as ‘report by exception’. In addition, time scheduled reporting of meter data can be setup to provide energy or demand data as frequently as every one minute. This intelligence allows for efficient and flexible real-time advanced metering applications.

Telemetric provides enterprise-class AT&T digital GSM/GPRS network services to link the RTM’s radio to the Telemetric PowerVistaTM software and the customer’s application. In partnership with AT&T, Telemetric manages the end-to-end data connectivity over a private IP network. Flexible and costeffective data plans are available to meet any application. System security and network redundancy features enhance the security and reliability of the meter data application.

Telemetric PowerVista is a powerful and flexible suite of applications and tools for managing advanced meters and other distribution system assets. PowerVista enables real-time access to all the meter data from any PC by logging onto a secure PowerVista account created and maintained for each customer. PowerVista users can view, manage and export meter data. Customized device screens and extensive management tools allow the customer to manage large numbers of meters. PowerVista has five levels of user security, including a view-only user mode that can be used to give C&I customers access to meter data. PowerVista’s open architecture allows software adapters to be created for the customer’s meter data management software.

The combination of Telemetric’s intelligent RTM for advanced metering with a nationwide AT&T network and the PowerVista software delivers the building blocks to implement a powerful two-way advanced metering solution for delivery point or commercial and industrial metering. By supporting the GE kV2c family of meters, Telemetric offers a proven, cost-effective C&I metering solution.
