"...easier to install and maintain, with vastly superior scalability, but it is also much more cost-effective than previous approaches. Return on investment is considerably less than a year for the wireless permanent monitoring systems."
Smart Grid
Smart Grid represents a vision for a digital upgrade of distribution and long distance transmission grids to both optimize current operations, as well as open up new markets for alternative energy production. In the US, one-half of our generation capacity is unused, one-half our long distance transmission network capacity is unused, and two-thirds of our local distribution is unused. Robust two-way communications, advanced wireless sensors, and distributed computing technology will improve the efficiency, reliability, and safety of power delivery and use.Dust Networks is at the forefront of technology development aimed at increasing the efficiency and reliability of the nation's electricity generation and distribution infrastructure.
