WireIE Innovation for Smart Grid Applications
WireIE can provide a suite of solutions for Local Electricity Distributors who are adding enhanced intelligence and control to their grid. We can design, build and operate the broadband communication network that will enable Smart Grid applications and devices.
Using a combination of IP-enabled wireless, fibre optic and wired technologies, we provide connectivity between control and monitoring devices in the field and the centralized management systems used to operate local distribution networks.
Working closely with the Local Distribution Company (LDC), WireIE can develop a customized implementation plan that balances performance improvement with financial and staffing considerations.
WireIE utilizes its unique intellectual property and proprietary processes to enable utilities in design, development and deployment of the “Foundation Layer for Smart Grid“.
An effective smart grid deployment must first start on a solid foundation of the utility’s asset management framework, which in turn facilitates the next layer of IT Infrastructure, Telecommunications Infrastructure and Network Topology. There is no “smart” in any grid without this layer having been properly designed and deployed.
These two foundation layers support the deployment of fundamental smart grid applications such as smart metering, substation automation and distribution automation as well as enabling a host of future applications such as Home Area Networks, Plug In Vehicles and Demand Response.
Wire IE specializes in Smart Grid Telecommunications infrastructure; Wide Area Networks, Local Area Networks and Backhaul. WireIE has extensive experience in the implementation of wireless broadband networks as well as fibre optic and DSL. We can develop the interfaces required to incorporate new Smart devices, UHF/VHF SCADA systems and legacy devices into a single cohesive, state-of-the-art solution.
