Business Wire
CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless
products, services and solutions, today announced a contract award
for a large scale deployment of its Dataradio Integra-TR� Wireless
Radio Modem for a nationwide Smart Grid network with the Provincial
Electric Authority (PEA) in Bangkok, Thailand. The initial contract
is for 5,000 units that are scheduled to be deployed over the next
18 months.
The PEA utility serves millions of customers in Thailand.
Historically, PEA's power system operations have utilized manual
dispatch procedures augmented by voice communication rather than
automated systems. PEA is currently in the process of upgrading its
data communications infrastructure with the deployment of a new
Distribution Management System specifically designed to address its
operational requirements including distribution network modeling,
connectivity and power flow analysis, fault isolation and system
restoration, trouble call management and control functions. These
systems allow PEA to manage the operation of the distribution
system in real-time, and provide the tools to optimize the network
and improve the quality and the reliability of service.
�The Dataradio Integra-TR overcomes limitations of traditional
non-licensed spectrum radios such as limited range or
susceptibility to interference and therefore is the ideal solution
for critical telemetry communication,� said Rick Nozel, Senior Vice
President of Sales and Marketing for CalAmp�s wireless networks
business. �Utility customers appreciate the Integra-TR�s quick and
easy deployment, the flexibility it offers to adapt its
configuration to customer-specific applications, and its
outstanding RF performance.�
