management system, AmbientNMS®. As the cornerstone

The upgraded capabilities in AmbientNMS include customized lists
and maps, data traffic prediction, control modules, and new
aggregation tools. These upgrades are part of Ambient's continual
process to enhance Ambient's smart grid communications
platform.
"With the total orders for our X-3100 smart grid communications
nodes now nearly 83,000 units, the total number of end points
supported in aggregate by these nodes is expected to nearly triple
the over 200,000 endpoints served today. This new release of
the NMS system is designed to support beyond this level of scaling
while adding new features and capabilities," stated John J. Joyce, President and CEO of Ambient
Corporation.
Ambient's smart grid architecture is designed to promote more
reliable, affordable and environmentally friendly energy delivery
operations. Its flexibility and functionality allows for
efficient two-way communication, collection, analysis and
management of energy data from multiple sources and systems not
available today from other vendors.
"For more than 10 years, we have been delivering an open and
secure communications platform. We have already received
significant orders for our proven, field deployed technology, while
providing or supporting an increasing number of smart grid
applications and we expect that trend to continue," stated Ram Rao,
SVP and CTO of Ambient Corporation. "An intelligent and robust
network management system that scales is necessary for this
expected increase in applications, and the new AmbientNMS is built
to not only support existing applications, but others that may come
along."
