To advance its smart grid project, Grand Bahama Power Company will deploy Landis+Gyr‘s Gridstream® Connect solution to include advanced electricity meters, distribution automation devices, and meter data management. The utility selected Landis+Gyr‘s multipurpose IoT network for its ability to address additional current and future applications, such as distribution automation, renewable resource integration, and smart street lighting. Landis+Gyr‘s patent portfolio in the Energy Financial Settlement sector is relatively small compared to other companies in the sector and mostly focused on platform architecture. However, a recently published application for communication technology indicates the company is interested in protecting a comprehensive solution, like the one it plans to provide Grand Bahama.
