CalAmp Corp. announced that it has been chosen by Central Vermont Public Service (CVPS) and Green Mountain Power (GMP) to supply its newly introduced Fusion-LTE router for their mid-tier networks to enable broadband communication for Smart Grid advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and Distribution Automation applications. Possessing the bandwidth required for secure data backhaul over a Smart Grid installation, the Fusion-LTE was chosen as the vital communications link between these electric utilities' AMI concentrators and their core communications infrastructures. CVPS, an investor-owned utility and the largest electric company in Vermont, serves more than 160,000 customers in 163 communities. GMP generates, transmits, distributes and sells electricity in Vermont and is a leader in wind and solar generation and serves more than 96,000 customers. The expanded wireless communications capability will enhance the utilities' ability to deliver superior customer service, system reliability and billing services -- and provide room for network and services expansion.
