Nighthawk Announces Its New Line of Mesh-Cellular(TM) Platform Meters
DALLAS, TX, Jan 29, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Nighthawk, a leading wireless smart grid solutions provider, has
released a new line of wireless (RF) MESH radio meters that work in
conjunction with Nighthawk's existing cellular RF solutions. These
new MESH meters provide a lower cost alternative for higher density
applications with full two-way coverage and a rich suite of Advanced
Metering Infrastructure (AMI) features. Similar to their cellular
predecessors, Nighthawk MESH meters are easily controlled and managed
using Nighthawk's feature rich, cloud-based WebConnect software.
Operating in MESH mode enables meters to communicate with nearby
units creating a dynamic wireless network. Nighthawk utilizes the
Synapse Wireless SNAP MESH network technology, which provides optimum
performance and low maintenance costs for utilities. The networking
technology will subsequently enable electric, water and gas utilities
to leverage shared Mesh-Cellular(TM) infrastructure across an
integrated metering network. Nighthawk's Mesh-Cellular(TM) solutions
provide utilities with the flexibility of dynamically expanding over
time from individual meters to a neighborhood cluster of meters or to
a full system wide deployment. Without infrastructure build-out,
utilities can quickly and easily have a full two-way AMI smart meter
deployment.
"Our new Mesh-Cellular(TM) platform meters are so versatile that they
can be deployed immediately upon delivery, and offer fast two-way
communications without interruption," said Charles Kitowski, CEO of
Nighthawk. "Dense deployments like apartment complexes or downtown
city areas can benefit from new MESH radio meters, which offer a most
cost-effective AMI solution while avoiding further infrastructure
build-outs."
