Ouch, awesome news, I hadn't seen this yet. I copied just a section to post, because I don't think this is small potatoes. Here is a small part of the info:
Find a need, fill a need
GE Energy has signed an exclusive agreement with Telkonet, a leading developer of innovative PLC solutions for the commercial market, to develop the Intellix SK100. Telkonet’s iWire System™ has been delivering simple, cost-effective and secure broadband network access in hotels, resorts and other commercial buildings for years.
“We haven’t seen any solutions quite like this for electric utilities,” says Stuart Borlase, GE Energy's marketing program manager for Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED). “By working with Telkonet, we’re bringing a commercially available product to a new market and filling a gap in our industry.”
In demos of Intellix SK100, users report it is an ideal communications solution for the following:
- Adding communications to devices and applications in existing substations or power plants;
- Adding site access control and surveillance;
- Reducing communication costs in new construction; and
- Providing temporary or trial-use installations of equipment
requiring communication capability.
The Intellix SK100’s intelligent platform is capable of supporting multiple applications—such as protection, monitoring, control and data acquisition, with flexibility in the location of communication interfaces. The system supports a wide variety of GE products with Ethernet communications.[/I]
Man, if you can't get excited at least a little bit about this, you need to see a doctor. I realize there are a couple of detractors who have thought this was dead, but look who's coming to dinner!
I have been catching wind of something big coming, but was sitting back and waiting to see. Could this be it? Oh I do believe so. With GE, you have size, name, reputation, international exposure, the whole shooting match. I hope some of you are as excited as I am.. this is a dream coming to fruition.. awesome!
