Webinar: Grid Modernization - A Journey from PLC to AMI 2.0
2026-05-28 13:30 - 14:30 (America/Toronto)
How utilities can address the requirements for higher bandwidth, lower latency, and the ability to integrate data with technology advancements.
Join Tantalus for an educational webinar that will provide an overview of how utilities can leverage technology and communication advancements to provide advanced applications.

Modernizing Your Distribution Grid
For years, PLC based systems like TWACS have delivered exactly what they were designed for: reliable monthly billing reads using existing infrastructure. But the demands on today’s distribution grid have changed. Modern grid operations now require higher bandwidth, lower latency, and the ability to integrate data across electric, water, gas, and behind-the-meter devices. Even newer, updated PLC-based systems were not designed to support these broader, real-time applications at scale. Tantalus solutions enable use cases such as:

Peak demand reduction via voltage control (DVR)
Fault location & identification
Power quality monitoring & diagnostics
“Wireless” SCADA

What Tantalus offers:
TRUConnect AMI: A comprehensive, data-centric platform that connects devices and systems across your network, purpose-built to support the next phase of grid modernization for utilities just like yours.

This platform includes an advanced communications network built to improve grid resiliency, reliability, and flexibility. It delivers outage management, remote disconnect, near real-time data and grid data management.

The TRUSense Gateway: A multi-purpose device that can create a secure communication pathway via a fiber, ethernet or cellular network to devices deployed across the distribution grid and a seamless path to communicate and control devices located behind the meter.

Provides advanced power quality monitoring with real-time communications to avoid truck-rolls while gaining a granular view of the distribution network. It also works in parallel with currently deployed AMR/AMI solutions (no forced “rip and replace” of existing meters).

TRUGrid Automation Suite: Advanced data analytics services including TRUGrid Reliability, Transformer and Verify, as well as Load+DER management solutions and grid data management.

The Pilot Package
Tantalus can help you evaluate how your current AMR system aligns with your future grid needs, and where modernization can unlock new capabilities.

Work with your Tantalus representative to develop a customized Pilot package that’s based on your specific requirements.
