EPB SELECTS TANTALUS' TRUSENSE GATEWAY SOLUTION

EPB in Chattanooga, Tenn., a recognized leader in innovation within the utility industry, is expanding its existing partnership with Tantalus Systems Holding Inc. to deploy TRUSense Ethernet gateways across its service territory. Commencing during the summer of this year, EPB is planning to deploy an initial 20,000 TEGs over the next five years. Under the agreement with Tantalus, EPB has an option to purchase additional TEGs during the term of the contract and will also be updating a portion of its existing metering infrastructure to the latest generation of Tantalus's technology.

EPB served as a member of Tantalus's TRUSense Gateway advisory committee to support its continuing commitment to leverage advanced technology for its automated distribution grid and enhance operational efficiency. Tantalus's TEGs will seamlessly integrate with EPB's existing fibre-to-the-home network and support EPB's metering infrastructure with advanced power quality insights while simultaneously supporting broadband services.

"Tantalus worked closely with us, listened to our needs and developed a solution capable of supporting multiple use cases, making it an ideal choice for forward-thinking utilities," said Jim Glass, assistant vice-president of smart grid operations at EPB. "The TRUSense Ethernet gateway equips our advanced automated grid to remain on the cutting edge and continue delivering reliable, resilient power to our community."

The EPB deployment demonstrates the scalability and effectiveness of the TRUSense gateway in addressing the evolving needs of utilities. TRUSense gateways, which include options for fibre, Ethernet or cellular connectivity, offer utilities an accelerated path to grid modernization by providing granular access to critical data, which help utilities improve the resiliency, efficiency and reliability of their distribution system.

"Our ongoing relationship with EPB is another example of our commitment to customer-driven product development, and we're grateful to the utility's team for their continued contributions to our customer advisory committee," said Peter Londa, president and chief executive officer of Tantalus. "This landmark deployment underscores the ability of Tantalus to support utilities in transforming their operations through advanced technology and accelerating their grid modernization efforts."
