ROCHESTER, NY, U.S.A.-AMETEK Power
Instruments has formed a teaming agreement
with Amperion, Inc., to cross sell each
other's products. As part of the teaming
agreement, each company will use its sales
and marketing capabilities to sell Amperion's
Broadband Power Line Carrier (B-PLC™)
products and AMETEK's Broadband Focus
(BB-Focus) and Universal PLC (UPLC)
products.
"With electric utilities upgrading their
analog equipment and modernizing their
substations, there is an urgent need for
improved communications. With only 9% of
North American utility substations connected
by fiber optic cable, both companies see an
opportunity to bring broadband communications
to the market and enable the 'Smart
Substation'," notes Brian Hoffmann, Vice
President and Business Unit Manager for
AMETEK Power Instruments.
AMETEK and Amperion plan to provide
cost-effective solutions with an array of
product options that include fiber, power
line carrier and Ethernet interfaces. Both
companies support TDM and Ethernet IP right
out of the box to simplify the migration path
for the utility.
"We are excited about our agreement with
Amperion. AMETEK offers an expertise in
Ethernet multiplexing of substation data that
is a core part of our business, and our
products enjoy close synergies with
Amperion's technology," adds Mr.
Hoffmann.
"AMETEK's products provide the capability to
consolidate all substation data into one data
stream utilizing a number of transport means,
including fiber, pilot wire, microwave or
power line, to move data across the
substation network. Amperion's B-PLC provides
utilities with an exciting new technology
that interfaces with our products to move
high bandwidth data over existing
infrastructure that the utilities already
own."
Amperion's B-PLC technology can be used as a
complement to fiber, used as a backup option
to fiber, or serve as an extension of an
existing fiber backbone network.
"As the Smart Grid moves from the edge to the
substation, there is a growing need for
cost-effective communications solutions.
AMETEK and Amperion are pleased to offer
solutions that help facilitate those
communications needs," comments Nachum Sadan,
Chief Executive Officer of Amperion. "There
is no reason to wait until fiber is
available. A utility can start with a B-PLC
and migrate later to fiber or stay with
B-PLC. We are covering all the bases by
combining Narrowband PLC, Broadband PLC,
Fiber, Sonet TDM and Ethernet IP and, with
our combined product offerings, provide the
most versatile solution on the market
today."
Amperion's B-PLC products are used by
American Electric Power for protection and
control applications as a replacement for
aging pilot wire systems and by other
utilities that require communications for
SCADA, wide-area protection and substation
automation applications.
