The companies plan to provide an end-to-end smart grid networking solution for both foundational and enduring smart grid projects across the full spectrum of the UK electricity value chain.
The new partnership will support the development of the communications fabric for smart grid and smart metering, so that it will be capable of supporting multiple applications on a unified network platform.
The collaboration will take advantage of Silver Spring’s IPv6-based Radio Frequency network infrastructure, software and services.
C&W Worldwide will utilise its next-generation network and experience in delivering complex, mission-critical communications networks, managed services and managed data centre services to utility companies.
The companies claim that the collaboration will enable distribution network operators to embed intelligence deep into the electricity distribution network that will provide unprecedented visibility and control.
