In order to offer products and services developed specifically to meet the needs of rural utilities and their customers,  The National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative (NRTC (News - Alert)) has signed another three-year channel partnership with Sensus, a leading provider of Clean technology solutions. Both the companies have renewed their partnership.


Sensus, a technology solutions company that offers smart grid technologies, including the FlexNet advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) system, smart meters, automation control and demand responce solutions, will be offered to NRTC rural electronic co-op members across the U.S.

Ed Drew, vice president of utility solutions at NRTC, said in a statement, “These solutions improve customer service, allow customers to take a more active role in energy conservation and protect vital capital and infrastructure investments for utilities. As interest in and adoption of the smart grid continues to grow among our members, we can count on Sensus to provide these solutions.”

FlexNet is the open standards-based two-way communication network that can send and receive data from various smart devices including meters and other sensors. The system provides two-way communication smart meters, data analysis and service hosting that allows utilities and their customers to detect and curb leaks, conserve resources, reduce energy costs and lower carbon emissions.

Since 2011, NRTC members have deployed nearly 600,000 Sensus meters at 40 different rural electric cooperatives. With the renewed agreement, NRTC plans to install more than 1 million Sensus meters at an additional 100 cooperatives nationwide.

“As rural utilities realize the benefits of the smart grid, Sensus is here to deliver our proven smart grid products and solutions,” said Greg Myers, vice president of marketing at Sensus. “This partnership further solidifies Sensus’ commitment to serving the rural utility co-op market by providing real cost and energy savings to both the utilities and their customers.”

NRTC offers their communities with innovative telecommunications solutions and a vision for continued viability.
