KORE Telematics, which is at the forefront in accelerating and enabling innovations in the M2M world, including energy management solutions such as Automated Metering Infrastructure has entered into a partnership with Trilliant, a provider of digital cellular communication products for remote meter data applications.

Under the terms of the partnership, Trilliant (News - Alert), which has been providing utilities with metering solutions since 1985, will allow KORE Telematics to deploy its CellReader and CellGateway meter communication solution across Tier 1 GSM and CDMA networks. KORE will also obtain device approvals for the CellReader under its One-Stop Device Accreditation Program.

While Trilliant's CellReader solution helps to provide two-way IP based communications over digital cellular networks, the CellGateway helps to connect to a variety of C&I electric, gas, and water meters via standard serial communications. Both these products complement Trilliant’s industry-leading SecureMesh communications solutions that provide utilities with a private wireless mesh network for multi-tier smart grid applications. 

Trilliant customers will now have access to the KORE PRiSMPro portal, an automated control platform that provisions and controls GSM and CDMA cellular services. KORE simplifies the deployment of wireless M2M applications and delivers affordable and reliable solutions for backhaul communications.

In a related news release, Trilliant Incorporated announced that it has successfully completed its pilot and has now been selected to implement the smart metering communications infrastructure at Burbank Water and Power in Burbank, CA (News - Alert).
