Redwood Shores, California – May 1, 2011
News Facts
Oracle announced the availability of several advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) vendor adapters for Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway. These adapters provide utilities with a simplified link between smart grid devices and the applications that use their data.
Using Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway and a vendor adapter can create a central interface point between AMI head-end systems and a variety of other applications such as meter data management, customer care and billing, and network management systems.
This unified approach allows utilities to quickly connect multi-vendor solutions without requiring complex integration efforts. As a result, utilities can reduce total cost of ownership and more efficiently implement their smart grid initiatives.
The adapters handle the most common AMI processes including remote connect/disconnect, meter ping, and on-demand reads. They can also be extended, in concert with Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway, to support additional devices or commands.
The available adapters include:
Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway Adapter for Echelon
Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway MV-90 Adapter for Itron
Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway Adapter for Landis+Gyr
Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway Adapter for Sensus RNI
Oracle will soon release Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway Adapter for Silver Spring Networks.
