Trilliant Purchases Part of Ingenu; Expands Smart Grid

By

Trilliant has long been working to improve its existing Smart Grid technology with a number of different approaches.  The company has worked hard to perfect its own solutions, but it knows one way to get ahead is to buy a firm that has a step on them. This is the case with the recent acquisition of the Smart Grid Application business from Ingenu.

The purchase means Trilliant will totally take over Ingenu’s smart grid customers as well as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) network technology. This tech will be integrated into the Trilliant existing Smart Communications Platform. Trilliant has also said it also will be licensing Ingenu’s Random Phase Multiple Access (RPMA) network technology in order to be integrated into the same Smart Communications platform.

“With a multitude of proven worldwide deployments, Ingenu's RPMA technology offers an extremely reliable and robust communications solution for smart grid connectivity,” said Andrew White, Chairman and CEO, Trilliant, in a recent statement. “The addition of RPMA to our Smart Communications Platform will provide utilities with the simplicity of one platform supporting multiple technologies that are built with open standards, and having broad industry support.”

While Ingenu looks like a winner since it is getting a fresh influx of cash, Trilliant is also benefitting greatly, considering the agreement means that Ingenu can continue to develop and support its network infrastructure based on the RPMA technology. This is hardly the first time Trilliant has entered into a kind of partnership with other companies to improve its smart grid technology. Earlier this year the company forged a partnership with Alcatel Lucent in order to deploy a new data network for the Washington Gas Light company. This new partnership is being viewed as one that is positive for both Trilliant and Ingenu because both firms will be able to advance their current technology to the next level.
