V2Com utilizes Gemalto’s Cinterion modules with Oracle Java ME Embedded to communicate energy usage data over wireless networks.
These modules communicate with V2Com’s Intellligenceware Suite, which uses Oracle Java SE Embedded, Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management and GlassFish Server Open Source Edition to connect meter and sensor data into back-end utility IT systems.
V2Com managing director Guilherme Spina said that the company relied on Gemalto’s security expertise to design a solution that is new in the market for safeguarding the integrity of the power grid infrastructure.
The new solution features include better integration of big data and automation of power networks to improve energy efficiency and improve utility companies’ performance.
Oracle java platform development vice president Nandini Ramani said Gemalto’s M2M solutions integrate seamlessly with V2Com and Oracle’s technologies.
"Together, we provide a simple, scalable and cost-effective smart energy architecture," Ramani added.
"Supported by the world’s largest community of developers and deployed in over three billion devices worldwide, Java enables smart energy companies to rapidly create and adapt sophisticated M2M solutions that improve business.
"V2Com also works very closely with our dedicated Utilities Business Unit, implementing the leading Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management solution, which is key to the successful roll out of smart meters."
