Sierra Wireless leads collaboration to
commercialize the containerization of applications on edge LTE
routers to enable a more resilient, efficient and secure smart
grid
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ:SWIR) (TSX:SW), the leading provider of
fully integrated device-to-cloud solutions for the Internet of
Things (IoT), along with Duke Energy and Open Energy Solutions
(OES) today announced they have developed a next-generation
intelligent edge platform to run more complex, centrally managed
and containerized edge applications. This ratified architecture,
which enables more resilient, efficient and secure smart grids,
will be demonstrated at DistribuTECH 2019, Feb. 5-7, in Sierra
Wireless’ booth #719.
The robust edge platform leverages Sierra Wireless AirLink®
cellular gateways and pioneering work by the Duke Energy Emerging
Technology Office (ETO) on the Open Field Message Bus (OpenFMB)
standard to provide more decision-making capabilities at the edge,
interoperability between the various smart grid elements and faster
decision making.
Dr. Stuart Laval, Director of Technology, Duke Energy, said:
“Sierra Wireless has been a valued partner to Duke Energy for many
years, providing critical connectivity and leading IoT grid
communication technology. This joint collaboration will leverage a
ratified, robust networking platform with faster edge processing
capabilities to enable next-generation applications, including
advanced distribution automation and Distributed Energy Resources
(DER) integration that are key to delivering on the future of smart
grids.”
Sierra Wireless AirLink gateways and operating software provide
the critical, secure LTE networking and edge processing
capabilities required to securely deploy, connect and manage third
party applications for the grid. The Sierra Wireless platform is
based on open standards, enabling more application and grid
solution providers to deploy a variety of innovative solutions
using AirLink gateways that help utilities manage the smart grids
of the future by:
- Enhancing situational awareness for
faster response times and service restoration;
- Integrating Distributed Energy Resource
(DER) and Microgrids more efficiently; and
- Improving security and interoperability
for existing grid equipment and infrastructure.
Tom Mueller, VP, Products, Enterprise Solutions, Sierra
Wireless, said: “The distributed grids of the future will rely on
intelligent edge processing to provide uninterrupted service, while
bridging old and new technologies. As the leading provider of
gateways to the energy sector, we’re excited to build on our track
record with Duke Energy of delivering new technologies that improve
grid operations.”
Come and experience the innovation. Sierra Wireless, Duke Energy
and OES will feature a live demonstration and an in-booth
presentation, How Cellular IoT and Intelligent Edge Enables a More
Efficient and Reliable Grid, at DistribuTECH in the Sierra Wireless
