The end-to-end RF Mesh solution or AMI and distribution automation networks uses a combination of interoperable wireless spectrum technologies and has established a virtual private network across the entire enterprise. The project debuted at Saigon Hi-Tech Park (SHTP), the centerpiece of Vietnam's bid to make Ho Chi Minh City the 'Silicon Valley of the Pacific.' The platform extends from customer meters at Hi-Tech Park to EVNHCMC's operations center. The approach provided EVNHCMC a single platform capable of supporting multiple high-value applications and prevented costly integration of multiple vendors' solutions. The communications network incorporates a variety of technologies that are suited to the needs of the varied terrain, customers, and system characteristics across the utility's distribution network. "The successful deployment of the AMI network has demonstrated a communications solution that can be scaled to support our broader smart grid strategy," said Tran Khiem Tuan, deputy general director at EVNHCMC, in the magazine article. "It is a foundational step in EVN's commitment to advancing the efficiency, reliability and affordability of energy for our customers." According to the article, EVNHCMC plans to continue to build infrastructure and intelligence to meet the tremendous energy demand of the region's growing economy with smarter, clean, reliable, and affordable power.
