My apology if I posted an old news. But even from TKO web-site, can't find the same news.The news with GE is:

For Immediate Release: February 6, 2007 NEWS RELEASE
Telkonet and GE Energy Develop Integrated Utility
Substation Automation System
Telkonet and GE Energy to Co-Develop a Custom, Private Label Product That Enables Remote
Monitoring and Management of Substation Equipment
Germantown, MD, Telkonet, Inc. (AMEX: TKO), the leader in providing in-building
broadband access over existing electrical wiring, today announced that it has signed an
exclusive supply agreement with GE Energy to co-develop an innovative custom product that
enables vital remote monitoring and management of utility substation equipment. This integrated
system will revolutionize the way in which a substation’s performance is monitored,
considerably improving efficiency and reliability. Over the next six months, GE will commence
the first installation phase involving customers in North America to further develop and refine
the product, customizing it to be compatible with all the various types of substation equipment.
Over the past year, GE Energy conducted extensive laboratory and field testing of the Telkonet
iWire System™ successfully; Telkonet’s system met the rigorous performance and reliability
requirements, as well as the environmental standards for both AC and DC operating
environments, for GE Energy and the utility marketplace.
The Telkonet iWire System leverages the existing electrical wiring inside a substation to enable
high-speed network connectivity, eliminating the need for new wiring or cabling. The data
collected from GE Energy’s monitoring systems can be transmitted remotely to any location via
a broadband Internet connection, enabling utilities to monitor the conditions of the transformers,
reroute power and efficiently manage the energy supply.
GE Energy will demonstrate this customized substation automation product, incorporating the
Telkonet iWire System, at DistribuTECH 2007 in San Diego, CA, the largest energy trade show
in the U.S., February 4 − 7, 2007.
Ron Pickett, President and CEO of Telkonet, commented, “We have been working very hard
with GE Energy over the past year to make sure that this is a success and believe that it will open
up many new opportunities for both companies. This agreement is a key element in Telkonet’s
strategy of delivering solutions to both the supply and demand sector – utilities and building
owners/managers.”
The article talks about " a BPL-enabled smart grid system called Intellix SK 100 . . . "
I can't afford to subscribe the BPL Today. Wonder if anyone read this article.
