Comverge, Inc. announced that itÂ’s Maingate C&I gateway technology and PowerCAMP software suite have been selected by American Electric Power (AEP) to provide a full scale digital cellular AMR solution for AEPÂ’s more than 15,000 commercial and industrial sites.

Maingate C&I is currently in use at utilities across the United States and provides access to robust meter data in real-time. Available in external box and underglass designs, it offers utilities both retrofit and drop-in replacement solutions designed to lower recurring communications costs and increase data read reliability.

The PowerCAMP suite enables AEP to collect data and automatically integrate this data with existing billing and CRM tools.

“We are looking forward to working with AEP to ensure a smooth installation and initial reading phase,” said Ed Myszka, President and COO of Comverge’s Solutions Group. “With other deployments currently achieving greater than 99% nightly reads, we are confident that this solution will meet and exceed AEP’s program goals.”

As national AMPS coverage declines towards its 2007 sunset, many utilities are currently seeking cellular alternatives for commercial & industrial meter data collection.
