"PG&E's new Fresno control center facility exemplifies the latest in Smart Grid technology, and Jupiter solutions are an ideal fit to deliver continuous, high-security monitoring, collaboration and fast response capailities in managing California's electrical power system," said Brady O. Bruce, Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Alliances of Jupiter Systems. "Our Canvas collaborative visualization suite will make it possible for PG&E's operations team to maintain total visibility into the trends and power demands affecting California's electrical grid, while also delivering enhanced features to quickly process information and respond in the event of outages. We have been pleased to work with the PG&E team to implement this game-changing solution as part of their ongoing commitment to supply California's power customers with a secure, efficient and responsive smart grid."

Jupiter's Canvas solution was selected in part for its unique ability to deliver information and enable real-time collaboration on any device. Canvas transforms any computer, smartphone or tablet into a portable video wall with access to the same information as on the "big screen" at the central command center, allowing distant managers to collaborate as if they were in the same room. PG&E control room operators and field personnel will have an unprecedented level of visibility into the vast and critical system they operate, and the tools that enable real collaboration and rapid response.

Jupiter Systems collaborative visualization solutions are installed in command and control centers for a wide variety of critical infrastructure and public sector agencies, such as power, water, telecommunications, transportation, railways, seaports, highway traffic management and emergency operations centers.
