Ambient selects Sierra Wireless AirPrime embedded modules for smart grid communications platform.
Sierra Wireless has announced that Ambient Corporation has selected Sierra’s AirPrime embedded modules to provide 3G wireless connectivity for Ambient's latest X-series smart grid communications node, used by energy and utilities companies.
The X-series smart grid node is part of the Ambient Smart Grid communications platform, which provides utilities with a critical link in building a modern energy infrastructure that enables connection with micro-generation and renewable energy sources.
"Real-time monitoring and communication with the grid enables energy and utility companies to provide better, more responsive service to their customers, but it does more than that. It also enables better use of a wider range of energy sources, like single windmills attached to rural homes that can provide electricity back to the grid in times of low use," said Ram Rao, SVP and CTO of Ambient Corporation. "Sierra Wireless embedded modules provide us with a reliable, stable connection and the level of product quality that is absolutely needed when dealing with critical infrastructure applications like ours."
Mike Ardelan, Vice President of OEM Sales for Sierra Wireless, added: "Ambient is helping to transform energy infrastructure to reduce energy consumption and inefficiencies. This is a perfect example of the myriad of ways in which embedded wireless technology can be employed to provide better real-time information that enables companies to better serve their customers and reduce costs. In addition, solutions like this one help to create a more sustainable energy system for the future, which is why we are so pleased Ambient selected Sierra Wireless as its wireless module provider for its newest X-series smart grid communications node."
