Advanced AMR Introduces Energy Information & Control System

System Provides Affordable AMR and Energy Control Programs

Peabody, MA Advanced AMR Technologies (AAT), a division of AES Corp. today announced the release of their Energy Information and Control System (EICS). This innovative wireless energy management system provides cost effective energy management solutions for AMR and other energy monitoring services.

The EICS is the heart of Advanced AMRs wireless Automated Meter Reading (AMR) and energy management system. The wireless-to-Internet energy management system collects real time energy information from wireless remote monitors attached to electric, water, and gas meters. The real time data transmitted to EICS is available for analysis allowing Utilities, ESCOS and Energy Co-operatives to implement energy management strategies for load response, demand management, outage restoration, tamper control, and other energy conservation programs.

EICS is a cost effective alternative to traditional AMR offerings that rely on legacy PLC or phone lines, wirelessly communicating real-time energy data. Wireless real time data offers the benefits of accurate energy billing, on-demand meter reads, outage management, time of use verification and improved customer service at lower cost.

Gerald Mimno, General Manager of Advanced AMR stated “The introduction of the EICS platform sets a new standard for AMR and Energy Management systems. No longer do you need to buy separate systems to deliver AMR, Energy Management and Utility Energy support services.”

The wireless EICS system uses AES-IntelliNet's patented wireless mesh network technology. IntelliNet creates a dynamic data path, as each wireless remote monitor is both a receiver and transmitter of data. The patented technology is faster and more reliable than traditional communication systems that rely on single paths. Wireless mesh technology eliminates the need for power line carriers, cellular towers, phone lines, cabling and trenching. Advanced AMR EICS is operator owned eliminating reliance on third party systems and the re-occurring costs associated with those systems.

Evaluation packages are now available for a limited time only at special introductory prices.

Advanced AMR provides a wide variety of wireless remote monitors connected to electric, water and gas meters that utilize a single network to address the needs of suppliers and consumers. Remote wireless monitors report real time data to the EICS platform providing the most cost effective solution available today for those who monitor and manage energy.

Utilities, Municipalities, Energy Co-operatives, ESCO'S, Schools and Universities benefit from installing and operating low cost energy management solutions to monitor energy usage on a real time basis and develop fast response, high impact, strategies for monitoring and managing energy usage .

The patented IntelliNet wireless mesh technology used in Advanced AMR products is currently deployed in hundreds of thousands of devices in over 130 countries worldwide.
