Ember has teamed with CalAmp to enable ZigBee and IP-based wireless networks to work together for automated meter reading, peak energy demand response and other smart grid applications.
CalAmp has integrated Ember’s EM250 ZigBee system-on-chip and EmberZNet PRO ZigBee networking software into its new WiMetry IP-based wireless communications platform. WiMetry enables smart grid functions such as demand response, peak demand reduction and other advanced metering infrastructure applications. WiMetry devices provide a two-way communication pathway to ZigBee-enabled smart meters or in-home devices for energy load control, demand response, energy consumption or tariff display.
The solution enables utilities to send and receive digital information concerning electricity use, costs, prices, time of use, nature of use or other information relevant to device, grid or utility operations, and helps provide homeowners with the means to make more informed decisions about their energy usage, promoting energy conservation and allowing electric utilities to reduce peak load demand.
The EM250 integrates an IEEE 802.15.4 radio, a 16-bit microprocessor, Flash memory, RAM and peripherals. It also supports the new 'ZigBee Smart Energy' profile which is targeted specifically at the smart energy market.
