The two companies will offer Exacter’s grid-reliability detection services in combination with Amperion’s smart grid communications network and monitoring services.
John Lauletta, CEO of Exacter, said: “Amperion’s ability to monitor the distribution system and create problem alerts coupled with Exacter’s ability to pinpoint exactly where the problem is provide utilities with a reliability tool they have never had before–a complete, real-time line quality assurance system.”
Nachum Sadan, CEO of Amperion, said: “This is a synergistic partnership between two companies that are committed to delivering energy-efficiency solutions by optimizing the use of existing infrastructure and helping utilities with deployment of new Smart Grid applications. The combination of Amperion’s highly reliable communications network with Exacter’s unique RFI-detection technology provides a continuous monitoring capability for early detection of failures.”
Located in Lawrence, Massachusetts, Amperion provides hybrid BPL and wireless communications solutions for smart grid applications on medium-voltage distribution lines and high-voltage transmission lines. Based in Columbus, Ohio, Exacter uses patented technology to identify and locate weakened equipment and signal interference on overhead distribution lines and provide utilities with reports, mapping, and analysis for corrective action.
