Australia: Australian utility implements GE s 4G communications smart grid solution.Byline: kusumv03 SP AusNet, one of Australia s Australia (ôstrāl`yə), smallest continent, between the Indian and Pacific oceans. With the island state of Tasmania to the south, the continent makes up the Commonwealth of Australia, a federal parliamentary state (2005 est. pop. largest utilities, could be the first to implement GE s WiMAX fourth-generation (4G) smart grid  This article or section is written like an .Please help [ rewrite this article] from a neutral point of view.

Because the solution is based on open standards Specifications for hardware and software that are developed by a standards organization or a consortium involved in supporting a standard. Available to the public for developing compliant products, open standards imply "open systems;" that an existing component in a system can be replaced , GE was able to work with a consortium of open standards-based technology companies to deliver a holistic smart grid solution to SP AusNet. GE is providing the meter communications technology Noun 1. communications technology - the activity of designing and constructing and maintaining communication systems engineering, technology - the practical application of science to commerce or industry across the entire network, while supplying half of the project s smart meters A Smart meter generally refers to a type of advanced meter (usually an electrical meter) that identifies consumption in more detail than a conventional meter; and optionally, but generally, communicates that information via some network back to the local utility for monitoring and . GridNet supplied the PolicyNet network management system software suite to manage the meters, controllers, switches and other devices throughout SP AusNet s smart grid network. Motorola is providing the communications infrastructure. The Victoria state government has mandated its entire service area be upgraded to smart meters by 2013. The smart grid solution could enable utilities to monitor the health and status of smart grid devices in real-time, helping ensure consistent reliability for customers. GE adds that its smart grid solution could lay the foundation for a host of advanced smart grid applications from plug-in vehicles, to advanced grid control, to alternative energy sources, such as solar on rooftops.
