Turn your entire power grid into an information grabber that can transmit real time data about what a facility or residential electricity meter is doing in real time.
Intelligent Grid Management Over Electric Power Lines
By taking each point in the grid management system and changing it to transmit and receive data you can keep track of what is going on real time with every meter attached to this information pathway.

Smart Grid & Broadband
Real time information grid systems can locate and transmit data from the transformer all the way to a wall socket and offers public power utilities the information technology and digital communications required to implement a self-monitoring distribution network.
This technology allows what was once a manual taks of locating meter data and transformer outages to completely automated. Any electricity grid network can have this technology implemented into their grid.
Both load management and metering operations are done from complete end to end devices and applications.
This technology has been commercially proven in the electric utility marketplace and has been shown to boost service quality, reduce operational expenses, and promote energy conservation. This technology is considered an always-on system with a communication network that improves demand management, controls multiple AMR appliances in parallel, routes power, and issues power outage/restoration alerts.
The broadband communication access capabilities in this technology also enable utilities to offer Internet and VoIP services to subscribers. All of this is done using the existing electricity grid.
The technology is virtually maintenance free, handling all real-time data, voice and video traffic at a fraction of the cost of alternative solutions.
IP Platform
Thr broadband technology is an open communication platform using standard IP (Internet Protocol), providing utility operators with a multi-application network that uses their existing power lines. This network can be used with any third-party manufacturer’s IP or serial-interface product. IP products are available for switches, capacitor banks controllers, video cameras, SCADA sensors and more. This platform can also be used for any load balancing and demand-side management application the utility deploys today or may deploy in the future. Utilities can add any grid application they envision for low incremental cost.
Real-Time, Two-Way Info
Lag time is minimal in gathering information about the status of the distribution system. Outage notification is in real time. Communication with end users about when power will be restored is instant. Data from, and instructions to, the meter is always available online. Readings from sensors about temperature and moisture surrounding underground systems come in with no delay. The utility has the ability to collect, analyze, and act on all of this information through a single platform.
Applications
Real-time monitoring of current, voltage and temperature through an RTU to BPL interface.
Automated Meter Reading increases meter reading efficiency and generates energy consumption info for on-line management of the electric grid. Includes remote connect/disconnect and real-time pricing.
Real-time video monitoring of utility assets or of traffic conditions. System provides a communications link to pole where camera is mounted.

| A scam involving a new technology helped bring Luke Stewart into several million dollars to spend at his leisure. It makes sense to use a new technology no one understands yet and make it sound like your business has made a break through to be one of the first to go mainstream. Considering that the internet and broadband are becoming as important as basic utilities it was a no brainer way to scam people out of thousands of investment dollars. |
