Acendant Network™
Seamlessly Connect to the Utility LAN
Clearly, gas, water, and electric utilities are facing new realities related to the challenges posed by the Smart Grid. These include meeting the mandates of new laws and regulations, developing environmentally sound solutions, and working with a public that expects more and better service at less cost.
It’s no wonder that electric, gas, and water utilities are looking for innovative technology solutions. One approach is to add intelligence to the utility network to more effectively communicate with utility assets and applications. More intelligence in the utility ecosystem necessitates a smart network that seamlessly connects to the utility LAN.
The Acendant Network is that solution – a single, multipurpose, standards-based, wide-area network (WAN) that manages data transmission between the utility and diverse networks and devices including AMI, SCADA, and mobility systems.
The Acendant Network solution is a ubiquitous, multipurpose network that simplifies communication with various utility devices and networks, providing cost-effective backhaul over a private network.
The Acendant Network technology can be set up in mesh, point-to-point, or point-to-multipoint configurations, offering the flexibility necessary to meet the specific communications requirements of individual utilities.
