RMS COMMUNICATIONS PARTNERSHIP WITH GERMAN UTILITY COMPANY
GEW STARTS SUCCESSFULLY
RMS Communications plc, ("RMS") the leading provider of low cost, power line
communication technology, is pleased to report that the first phase of the
trial programme with Gas-Elektrizitats-und Wasserwerke, ("GEW"), the German
utility company, has been completed successfully. Results from recent tests
show exceptionally fast and responsive communication and high reliability
rates across the designated section of GEW's electricity network.
RMS has installed its communications technology, PowerNetr ("PowerNet"), onto
GEW's low voltage (220/380 volts) and medium voltage (10,000 volts) networks
in Cologne. PowerNet has been successfully tested for monitoring the supply
of electricity, which included communication with electricity meters.
RMS is also running tests with other national utility companies in Sweden,
Jersey, New Zealand, Scotland and other parts of the UK. This year saw the
first commercial installation in Hydro-Electric's region around Perth and Fort
William. Hydro-Electric is a 26% shareholder in RMS.
Mike Hosie, Managing Director of RMS Communications plc, commented,
"Rapid deregulation in the electricity industry worldwide has led to utility
companies looking for ways to differentiate themselves from other competing
companies by reducing costs and by providing new products and services.
PowerNet is an ideal solution as it gives utility companies a cost effective
and highly precise method for managing the supply of electricity whilst giving
customers access to previously unavailable services.
"Despite the significant differences in the way electricity is delivered
around the world, PowerNet has again proved that it is a flexible and robust
system which can be adapted to specific, local conditions. The German market
is very important to us and we are now looking at the possibility of providing
GEW's customers with additional services such as street lighting control".
