The testing process, was facilitated by Util-assist on behalf of the Ontario Utility Smart Metering (OUSM) working group – a consortium of 57 Ontario LDC’s. The OUSM has been working in an educational capacity since 2005, and results of the Cellnet+Hunt system testing were reported to OUSM members in an AMI evaluation report at the OUSM Working Group Conference on Dec.12, 2007. The system test report provides validation that the Cellnet+Hunt technology meets the requirements of the Ontario Smart Metering Initiative.

“We look at all aspects of how the system performs, and gain an understanding of the architecture, how the data is stored, how it is accessed and how it interfaces with other networks,” said James Douglas, President and Senior Consultant of Util- assist. “This is hands-on standardized testing the utility can point to when making decisions about a system.”

Successfully Passed Customer Test The OUSM has tested 11 different technologies so far and five of these 11 technologies have been installed during Phase I of the Ontario Smart Meter deployment. Cellnet+Hunt completed the testing at its National Network Operating Center in Kansas City, which currently manages and delivers data from over 14 million meters daily. Standard test scripts were run that tested the ability of the system architecture to meet and exceed daily interval data requirements, as well as the acquisition of other operational information which would allow utilities to maximize the value of the AMI.

“Successful completion of this test is another step forward for our North American advanced metering strategy,” said Lee Frank, General Manager of Cellnet+Hunt’s RF Mesh product line. “As we continue pursuing opportunities throughout Canada, our demonstrated ability to meet system requirements is a key advantage.”

UtiliNet is the leading two-way asynchronous RF mesh network combining AMI, DA, SCADA and multi-utility meter operation functions into one Smart Grid network platform. It is currently operational at over 200 utilities worldwide.
