Business Wire
CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ:CAMP), a leading provider of wireless
products, services and solutions, announced today that it has
teamed with KORE Telematics to develop a powerful wireless solution
for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and Smart Grid
applications. KORE Telematics is a leading specialized wireless
network provider focused exclusively on the rapidly-expanding
machine-to-machine (M2M) communications market. The new solution
utilizes CalAmp�s WiMetry� platform, which has been certified to
operate on the KORE M2M network.
CalAmp's WiMetry, in combination with the KORE network, enables
utilities to send and receive digital information concerning
electricity use, costs, prices, time of use, nature of use or other
relevant information within the grid. With real-time access to this
data, utilities are able to more effectively engage their customer
base to promote energy conservation, manage peak load demand and
carry out other key Smart Grid initiatives.
The joint WiMetry and KORE solution addresses the needs of
utilities that require secure, cost-effective and reliable wireless
data communications for advanced metering, demand response and
other Smart Grid applications. KORE GSM and CDMA data services are
built for the highest reliability and extremely efficient data
transfer to enable on-demand analysis and management.
�Our WiMetry platform provides real-time, two-way wireless
communications to manage sensing, collecting and monitoring of data
from all portions of a utility�s electric transmission and
distribution grid,� said Michael Burdiek, CalAmp�s Chief Operating
Officer. �We are excited to team up with KORE because of their
direct connection to the extensive CDMA and GSM cellular networks
of Tier 1 carriers, resulting in reliable, flexible and
cost-effective wireless connectivity that enables some of the most
successful AMR/AMI deployments in use today.�
�CalAmp has supplied wireless communications systems to the
utility market for more than a decade, and we are proud to certify
WiMetry on our network,� said Alex Brisbourne, President and COO,
KORE Telematics. �The KORE network is the perfect complement to
CalAmp�s utility network collection device, and we are confident
our utility customers will be able to implement reliable AMI and
Smart Grid applications more rapidly than ever in response to
evolving utility industry initiatives.�
CalAmp and KORE are exhibiting the WiMetry platform on the KORE
network in booth #2441 at the DistribuTECH 2009 conference in San
Diego, CA through February 5, 2009.
