Redpine Signals and Grid2Home Partner to Offer SEP 2.0 Profile over 802.11n Wi-Fi

The SEP 2.0-compliant G2H-SE2 software from Grid2Home provides proven interoperability across the Smart Grid ecosystem. The platform includes the application layer and reference applications to enable Smart Energy systems developers to quickly integrate a Wi-Fi interface into their appliance, meter, or control units.



The availability of SEP 2.0 over 802.11n Wi-Fi paves the way for a near-universal integration of Smart Energy devices into the home or enterprise networks. The large scale deployment of Wi-Fi infrastructure underscores the choice of Wi-Fi as the key connectivity method for the Smart Grid, said Venkat Mattela, CEO of Redpine Signals. Redpine has pioneered the adoption of future-proof 802.11n Wi-Fi into embedded applications and our partnership with Grid2Home in offering a complete SEP 2.0 solution over Wi-Fi is an important step in our efforts to enable system developers to integrate their products into the Smart Energy ecosystem, he added.



The availability of solutions with SEP 2.0 over 802.11n Wi-Fi would accelerate the adoption of Wi-Fi into the smart grid, said Rick Kornfeld, CEO of Grid2Home. Grid2Home is pleased to be partnering with Redpine Signals in offering the G2H-SE2 Software with Redpine's Connect-io-n modules for devices and appliances in the smart energy ecosystem.
