According to a release, through partnerships with meter and meter data management system (MDMS) providers, On-Ramp supports smart metering capabilities on the same network infrastructure that supports grid automation and demand response. On-Ramp announced that GE has selected On-Ramp's Total Reach Network for its Grid IQ Advanced Metering Infrastructure Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) solution, which includes GE's residential and commercial/industrial meters and GE's Smart Metering Operations Suite (SMOS). This is another validation of the benefits of AMI and Smart Grid solutions Powered by On-Ramp.
