Tollgrade joins this group of utilities, IT companies, equipment vendors and technology providers as it launches a new sensor technology as a means for improving power distribution grid management. Called LightHouse, this grid technology provides continuous grid intelligence that reduces the amount of time in detecting a problem on the grid, identifying its location and restoring service.

Joseph Ferrara, president and CEO of Tollgrade, said: Utilities face unprecedented challenges from regulators and customers to improve reliability and quality, and to increase efficiency of their distribution grids. We believe our technological expertise enables us to be an integral part of the industry’s movement to improve the nation’s power infrastructure.
