Florida utility to deploy Landis+Gyr's Gridstream

The Florida-based community-owned utility JEA will begin deploying Landis+Gyr’s Gridstream RF Network in April as part of a smart-grid project aimed at enhancing customer service and helping consumers manage energy consumption.

Under the agreement with JEA, Landis+Gyr will install Gridstream technology to enable two-way communication with advanced meters. This technology also provides the capability to connect distribution devices and home area network equipment to the system through a single network. The initial project includes installation of 3,000 FOCUS AX-SD meters with integrated ZigBee communications and service switches.

Once the network is in place, the utility can strategically offer new programs to help consumers with energy management, such as an electric prepay program, an online consumer energy portal and variable time-based pricing. The technology upgrades will also provide automatic outage and event notifications to further improve outage restoration response.
