Landis+Gyr has released Command Center 7.0, the latest version of its smart grid network operating software that expands capabilities for connecting and communicating with intelligent devices. Command Center 7.0 expands support for IP-based devices used in distribution line sensors, controllers and streetlight controls. Additionally, the software update enables support for Landis+Gyr’s next-generation meter-based prepay solution, with full commercial availability in 2017. Support for Landis+Gyr’s Network Node, an intelligent, coin-sized radio designed for deep integration into a variety of sensors and controllers, provides utilities with more options for the types of devices that can be added to the network. Expansion of the connectivity platform provides utilities with additional returns on their communications investment. Command Center is the operating software supporting the Gridstream AMI solution that provides an open-standards network solution for utility distribution system management, automation and consumer engagement applications.
