Regulators and utilities will expect the communications foundation for a smart grid to deliver more and therefore to cost more.

Application Value Supports the Cost

• Residential meters need not be $20 devices

• HAN gateways, integrated disconnect switches, outage ride-through, etc – all driving up the cost / value curve

• Transceiver chipset not seen as driving the overall BOM cost. Do not compromise performance for pennies.

Utility Benefits from a Common Phy/Mac

• Improving performance – dedicated IC’s outperforming multipurpose devices

• Hardware that can be remotely switched from vendor A network to vendor B network

• Decoupling networking technology from manufacturing - enabling AMI companies that don’t produce hardware

• A platform upon which additional standards could be built – potential for eventual multivendor interoperability

Target RFP Language: “All system equipment must have at least two independent sources of supply.”

A Window of Opportunity

Many utility needs are immediate, others emerging

Utilities are being tempted by costly alternatives that are not technically ideal

“Consensus” more beneficial than “best” – VHS/BetaMax, HD DVD / BluRay
