Eka Systems, Inc has developed and is marketing a wireless mesh technology designed for large scale deployments in the utility, energy, and submetering markets. The system is completely self-configuring, reliable, robust, and offers unprecedented control with two-way communications to and from distributed devices like electricity, water, and gas meters. The existence of a reliable and capable communication network has historically been the largest technical barrier to large scale Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) deployments and the development of the Smartgrid in a cost effective manner.
