Distributed intelligence
Improving network reliability, speed and security.
The distributed intelligence model of EnergyAxis offers the ideal solution for meeting today’s Smart Grid needs. It provides optimal adaptability and scalability to meet tomorrow’s needs by seamlessly adopting emerging technologies as they become commercially viable.
By pushing intelligence closer to the grid, the distributed model allows optimum network response times and bandwidth utilization, which allows unprecedented amounts of data and grid control operations to be seamlessly managed through the system.
EnergyAxis distributes intelligence in all layers of the network architecture. This provides users with the ability to quickly and reliably reach any network element. EnergyAxis delivers this capability through numerous technology innovations such as flexible path routing and configurable message prioritization.
In addition, EnergyAxis adapts to changing business requirements and environmental conditions. Features such as multi-mode routing capabilities for both scheduled and on demand activities and an ideal combination of proactive and dynamic mesh operations assure extremely high levels of performance reliability throughout changing conditions.
By providing a distributed framework, with both mesh network and direct WAN connected network elements, EnergyAxis provides the ultimate in bandwidth scalability. As communication costs decrease and new technology solutions become available, a seamless transition capability enables gradual migration from a large-scale mesh architecture to more direct connected endpoints.
Our distributed intelligence architecture has been thoroughly vetted and optimized with well over 3.5 million network elements in service today. Our customers continue to connect large numbers of additional Smart Grid components (including smart meters, in-premise devices, and grid monitoring and control elements) to EnergyAxis networks, with maximum confidence that the network will properly support these devices as designed.
