Amperion Unveils New Focus and Strategy

Amperion Inc., a pioneer of Broadband over Power Line and Hybrid Broadband Network Technology, has emerged from stealth mode with a new focus, patented product line, new funding and a new strategy. Amperion has two business focuses—PowerWiFi Hybrid Network Solutions, and AmperionSG Smart Grid Engineering Services.

The Amperion PowerWiFi Hybrid Network Solution uses new generation hybrid networking technology that blends Broadband over Power Line and Wi-Fi. Amperion has unveiled two new products that implement this technology—Griffin PowerWiFi Hybrid BPL-WiFi Repeaters and Eagle WiFi Repeaters. The PowerWiFi products are engineered for serving Broadband and VoIP needs of Emerging Economies. These products can be used to roll out a highly reliable and flexible Broadband and VoIP network at the lowest cost per subscriber. In addition, the hybrid nature of Amperion PowerWiFi makes it the most efficient technology for rolling out an Intelligent Smart Grid Network that is highly reliable, and cost effective.

Amperion also offers the Amperion GroundStation with Google Earth support to interactively manage the Amperion PowerWiFi network. For electric utilities, the GroundStation supports power outage reporting on MV lines with the exact geographical location of the outage.

Meanwhile, with AmperionSG Smart Grid Engineering Services, Amperion will now offer its vast experience in developing and deploying advanced communications solutions on HV, MV and LV power lines to Utilities, System Integrators and Product companies involved in building Smart Grid Applications and Networks. Amperion can support smart grid projects related to AMI, DA, HER, HAN, and other utility applications. The new services, which leverage the company's core networking knowledge and utility experience, are targeted at helping Planning Smart Grid Architectures, Evaluating Smart Grid technologies, Developing Products, and Deploying Networks.
