Jim Hanson, energy and utility industry principle for Motorola\u2019s enterprise mobility business, said the collaboration between the two companies is part of an overall company strategy to provide additional services that utility customers can run over their private, iDEN Harmony networks, such as fixed data applications. \u201cMany of our utility customers buy a licensed version of the iDEN technology called Harmony,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is customized for uniquely private uses. They own the network.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The communications system supports over-the-air switching between public Sprint Nextel and private Motorola Harmony systems, which is a user-owned, digital wireless voice-communications network. The <strong>CellReader<\/strong> supports data transfer from meters, said Paul Karr, Trilliant\u2019s vice president of marketing. The device is a single-board device that fits under the glass of the meter, providing meters with RF communications capabilities without requiring the purchase of another modem or communications board. Because it operates on any iDEN wireless network in North America, it enables data communications at practically zero-variable cost, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Utilities benefit from the technology, because they now are completing large-scale AMI deployments and need a solution with longevity that public carriers often cannot provide, such as a guaranteed 15- to 20-year lifecycle, Karr said. \u201cWe see a strong interest in solutions for\u00a0<a title=\"More on Backhaul\" href=\"http:\/\/urgentcomm.com\/technology\/backhaul?intlink=autlink\">backhaul<\/a>, wide area networks such as what Motorola provides,\u201d he said. \u201cAs a result, a utility has control and assurance of communications during critical need, whether during an outage scenario or the ability to reliably obtain data on a daily basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The joint solution currently supports meter brands for commercial and metering applications, such as the <strong>Elster A3 Alpha<\/strong>, <strong>GE kV2c+<\/strong>, <strong>Itron SENTINEL<\/strong> and <strong>Landis+Gyr<\/strong> S4 families of meters, Hanson said.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/urgentcomm.com\/mobile_data\/news\/trilliant-motorola-meters-050608\">http:\/\/urgentcomm.com\/mobile_data\/news\/trilliant-motorola-meters-050608<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Itron and Trilliant Team up in the Dominican Republic<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0NOVEMBER 1, 2011<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>CDEEE energy advisor George Reinoso, says, \u201cThe <strong>Itron and Trilliant<\/strong> solution was one of the best choices available to help us meet our business goals.
