Telemics' Wireless System in Arizona Street Light Test

LOUISVILLE, KY (September 8, 2005) – Phoenix, AZ based electrical utility APS has embarked on a pilot program to evaluate the benefits of wireless enabling street lights using technology developed by Louisville, KY based Telemics, Inc.

By remotely monitoring each individual street light via a wireless network connected to the Internet, APS hopes to improve efficiency and reduce outage time.

The utility, which maintains over 150,000 street lights across the state of Arizona, has already deployed a user friendly web site, www.APS.com, which makes it convenient for customers to report street lighting outages.

Telemics’ remote monitoring system is marketed under the GE StreetSmarts™ brand in the USA and Canada by Hendersonville, NC based GE Lighting Systems, Inc. The system is designed to deliver further enhancements to APS’s customer service by automatically reporting faults as soon as they occur therefore allowing the APS repair crews to find and fix the faults faster.

Eddie Johnson, President & CEO of Telemics, commented “The City of Los Angeles is already in the process of deploying the system after successfully completing extensive trials and we are delighted that APS has made the decision to commence field trials. We very much look forward to working with their team over the coming months to demonstrate the operational improvements the system is able to deliver.”
