The pilot program includes a deployment of Trilliant’s multi-tier SecureMesh Smart Grid solution to deliver advanced utility services in Victoria.

Victoria Electric Cooperative covers 1,800sq m located in southeastern Texas and serves six counties with about 19,500 residential and 540 commercial and industrial customers.

A key component in HD Supply Utilities’ GridAdvance integrated, Smart Grid solution, Trilliant’s SecureMesh multi-tier architecture enables the two-way flow of data to integrate the utility’s head-end systems with distribution, smart metering, and home devices.

These sections of the grid correspond to communication tiers: a wide area network (WAN) tier, which connects distribution devices and aggregates the neighborhood area network (NAN) tier, which connects meters and aggregates the home area network (HAN) tier, which connects in-home devices.

Trilliant is a Smart Grid communications provider and leader in delivering solutions that enhance energy efficiency, utility operations, and renewable resource integration.
