ORLANDO (TechAdvantage 2015) – February 24, 2015 – Energate Inc., a leading provider of interactive energy management platforms connecting homes and small businesses, and On-Ramp Wireless, a leading provider of wireless communications solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things, announce their partnership to deliver a new affordable, advanced, easy-to-deploy, point-to-multipoint (P2MP) communications option for Energate’s solutions.

Energate is incorporating On-Ramp Wireless RPMA® (Random Phase Multiple Access) communications into its Consumer Connected Demand Response (CCDR) Platform, a system which can support either a utility’s existing demand response management system or Energate’s load management software via Energate’s CORE Middleware.  The platform also enables consumer engagement through third-party applications or the MyEnergate mobile apps and web portal.

“This innovative combination of platforms enables fully integrated solutions for utilities and service providers that desire a full two-way, secure, low-risk, private network, with ubiquitous coverage,” said Steve Dodds, Energate’s CEO.

“We are excited to see Energate’s solutions be enabled with On-Ramp’s RPMA communications, providing an RPMA-connected option for demand response and interactive energy management,” said Kevin Hell, president and CEO, On-Ramp Wireless. “The integration of our technology into the Energate solution is a critical enhancement to our portfolio of RPMA-enabled utility applications.”

Unlike pager-based solutions, the combined solution features secure, two-way, fully acknowledged communications on any RPMA Network, enabling a platform that supports interactive energy management with or without a smart meter, with or without AMI, and with or without a local internet connection while providing verifiable and measureable demand response (DR) and energy efficiency (EE) results.

On-Ramp Wireless and Energate will provide a “sneak peek” of the new demand response and energy efficiency offering – the LC2100 P2MP Load Control Switch using the RPMA Network at TechAdvantage 2015, Booth #123 in Orlando, February 23-26, 2015.
