Advanced Metering
 The On-Ramp Total Reach Network is a breakthrough in wide-area machine-to-machine communication for residential and commercial metering. Through partnerships with industry leaders like GE, Landis+Gyr and Vision Metering, On-Ramp supports state-of-the-art smart metering capabilities on the same network infrastructure that supports grid automation. Only On-Ramp Total Reach Network has the range, capacity and security to cover all of your devices and meters on a single network.Meters on the On-Ramp Total Reach Network support all of your critical Smart Grid features including:
On-Ramp meter integration is done via our generic Meter Communication Module which enables rapid integration into new or existing electric meters. For information about integrating On-Ramp into a particular electric meter, please contact sales. |

Complete Deployment Flexibility
Each meter communicates directly with one or more APs and operates independently of all other meters in the network. Unlike a mesh network, this makes consumer opt-in/opt-out easy, and allows phased deployment. Phased deployments also mean parallel operation of the On-Ramp Total Reach Network with legacy systems is possible. For example, a utility can initially target specific communities with advanced metering and phase in remaining territories over time. |

With a single network that supports smart meters, grid automation, demand response and all your M2M devices you get total visibility into your smart grid. On-Ramp’s web based Total View offers the user-interface to manage and monitor all of these devices. Offered as a fully hosted managed service or as part of our managed appliance, the Total View interface enables real-time monitoring and management including remote disconnect, demand read, load shedding, remote configuration as well as a breadth of alarms to ensure complete operational visibility. For AMI applications Total View supports billing integration via numerous industry standard formats including NISC as well as functional MDMS integration via MultiSpeak and IEC61968-9. The Total View also has a complete XML API for enterprise integration including Oracle’s Outage Management System and OSISoft’s PI Historian.
The GE i210+ is the base meter in GE’s solid-state metering platform. When used with the On-Ramp Total Reach Network it provides a next generation AMI solution. This meter has an installed base of several million units and has one of the lowest failure rates in the industry. The On-Ramp equipped i210+ meter meets or exceeds ANSI industry standards with 50 or 60 Hz models available to operate at 120vac and 240vac for Class 20, Class 100, Class 200 and Class 320 socket based residential or commercial installations. The GE i210+ Powered by On-Ramp is available for order now. 
The GE i210+C is the most advanced residential smart meter available from GE. The i210+C smart meter coupled with On-Ramp Total Reach Network enables complete metering visibility, today and into the future. This residential meter was derived from the GE commercial and industrial product line. It has advanced metrology capability refined through 10 years of solid state metering experience. It delivers advanced poly-phase functionality coupled with a full suite of AMI features. The GE i210+C Powered by On-Ramp will be available for order Q2 2013.
The GE kV2c meter is designed for revenue class metering in commercial and industrial applications. The kV2c meter equipped to operate on the On-Ramp Total Reach Network moves beyond revenue metering to real time instrumentation, true power quality monitoring and real cost of service measurements. Whether you are metering the simplest energy rate or collecting critical quality of service and load analysis information on a polyphase or a single phase circuit, there is an kV2c meter configuration Powered by On-Ramp to meet your needs. The GE kV2c Powered by On-Ramp meters will be available for order Q2 2013.
The GE SGM3000 advanced metering product line now provides an IEC AMI solution on the On-Ramp Total Reach Network. This line of IEC residential and commercial/industrial smart metering products was designed to integrate easily and provide the critical information needed to optimize grid operation. The GE SGM3000 Powered by On-Ramp is available for order early 2013.
The FOCUS advanced function disconnect meter provides the utility industry with a reliable, quality, solid-state meter platform that will easily adapt to smart grid technologies. This innovative product offers Demand, TOU, Load Profile, and a full 200 Amp service disconnect switch under glass that fully supports energy and demand response programs, enabling you to manage energy better. The L+G FOCUS AX series meters Powered by On-Ramp is coming soon.
Vision’s single phase and polyphase meters Powered by On-Ramp offer a reliable and durable AMI solution to meet or exceed industry’s smart metering demands. This meter provides all advanced metering functionality, and also offers utilities a user friendly advanced LCD interface. The Vision Meter Powered by On-Ramp is available for order now. 
The On-Ramp Total Reach Network offers unmatched reach, capacity and range enabling network coverage for all meters for dramatically less than competing solutions. The simple star topology enables very accurate network planning, rapid and flexible deployment scheduling, and lower operations and maintenance costs than mesh. The lowest total cost of ownership combined with rapid realization of advanced metering benefits yields the fasted ROI in the industry.
The high capacity and long range of the On-Ramp technology requires minimal network infrastructure for urban, suburban or rural locations. Operating in the unlicensed ISM band, a single On-Ramp Access Point can cover 400 square miles when deployed on a communication tower, building or hilltop.
