Silver Spring Networks Continues Leadership With Expanded International Standards and Language Support

Today at the SENDI Brazil 2012 Conference, Silver Spring Networks, a leading networking platform and solutions provider for smart energy networks, unveiled enhanced standards support for Latin America, Europe, Asia, and other international markets with the latest version of its UtilityIQ™ 4.7 AMM application. The new offering includes native support for the DLMS/COSEM protocol, the accepted IEC (News - Alert) (International Electrotechnical Commission) standard for utility meter data exchange, and expanded language support for Brazilian Portuguese. Silver Spring's IPv6-based networking platform already connects more than 12 million homes and businesses worldwide. These additions extend Silver Spring's leadership in offering the market's broadest range of device choice, eliminating vendor lock-in and delivering the full promise of open systems.

"We are in the midst of a global transformation in energy that will have profound operational, societal and economic benefits," said Eric Dresselhuys, Executive Vice President of Global Development, Silver Spring Networks. "Addressing this enormous opportunity will require broad support for appropriate international standards to ensure that our customers have the flexibility and choice to realize all of the benefits from our 'one platform, many applications' approach."

These new capabilities also enable a broader ecosystem of intrnational industry partners to rapidly integrate and interoperate with Silver Spring technologies, giving customers even greater choice and diversity. With more than 60 partners globally and growing, the Silver Spring Partner Program is delivering comprehensive smart grid solutions for customers around the world.
