LOAD DEMAND NETWORK SPECIALISTS
Revive your system.
Build your future.
We specialize in Load Demand Networks. With over 40 years of experience, we help utilities get more from their demand response (DR) systems, from reviving an old network with inexpensive modern technology to building the networks of the future.
Our expertise in AC switches and thermostats helps keep your LCR and DCU control and management systems running for years to come. Whether your network uses FLEX, POCSAG, SA206, or legacy SA205 protocols, we have you covered.
Deploy where it matters most.
Our network studies help maximize your DR system’s effectiveness by identifying coverage gaps and showing where to deploy equipment for the greatest impact.
OUR EXPERTISE
A stronger network.
A clearer way forward.
Every utility has its own infrastructure, service territory, and challenges. We bring practical engineering and software expertise to yours.
01 / STUDY
Wireless network studies
Understand how your network performs with a study tailored to your company. We evaluate coverage, map your RF environment, and identify flaws and performance gaps.
Understand your network02 / EXPAND
Coverage & network improvement
Reach more of your service territory and address weak spots in your existing network. From design through construction and integration, we turn findings into practical improvements.
Extend your reach03 / MONITOR
Live monitoring & data analysis
See what is happening across your network. Live monitoring, signal and performance evaluation, and diagnostic analysis provide real-time system awareness and support informed decisions.
See the bigger picture04 / CUSTOMIZE
Custom utility software
Software should solve your challenges. We develop solutions customized for each utility, connecting brand-new products and finding a path forward for equipment that is no longer supported.
Build around your needsCONTINUOUS INSIGHT
Your network.
In clearer view.
System awareness is more than knowing a device is online. It is understanding coverage, recognizing problems, and making sense of performance over time.
We live monitor our customers’ networks and analyze the data to help teams troubleshoot issues and plan their next move.
