Smart Grid Platform Provider Adds Two Nodes to Grid Modernization Solution

Ambient Corp. has launched two new smart grid nodes: Tthe Ambient MicroNode and Ambient MiniNode complement the existing Ambient Smart Grid Node, which has been enhanced with more powerful grid analytics capabilities.

The Ambient Smart Grid Node family now provides utilities with even greater choice for reliable and efficient management of multiple smart grid applications through a single infrastructure that uses an open IP-based architecture.

The Ambient Smart Grid Nodes are purpose-built network devices, all with advanced processing capability and memory that, along with the AmbientNMS , deliver benefits of distributed intelligence grid architecture. Applications developed for the Ambient Smart Grid platform can be run on all three types of node. They deliver upstream and downstream high-speed data communications using a variety of wired and wireless technologies, including serial, Ethernet, PLC, cellular, Wi-Fi or RF. Each node is a modular device that can be configured for different roles within the network and is suitable for targeted or scale deployments. They are easy to install and allow for rapid deployment.
