The Smart Grid
Product of the Year Awards will recognize those achievers that deliver smart grid technology products brought to market in 2009. Your solutions should be included on this elite list of the industry’s finest and differentiate your product from the competition.
Building out the smart grid is the single most significant national infrastructure project since the build out of the Internet itself. In many ways, it's about bringing the same type of communications and control capabilities enabled by the Internet to all components of, what is recognized as, the largest, most distributed and complex machine: the national grid.
The vast potential for smart grid enabling devices, network infrastructure and game-changing applications is only limited by the imagination of innovators and pioneers in making the smart grid vision a reality.
“The smart grid space is evolving quickly, and we believe this initiative will help utilities make better decisions about their deployments,' said
Jon Arnold, co-founder of ICP. 'Not only that, but with so many new offerings coming from outside the traditional group of companies, we hope this will expose utilities to a broader range of smart grid partners.'
“We are happy to introduce the Smart Grid Product of the Year Awards to recognize those companies that contribute to the advancement of these technologies,” said
Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “If your company is a smart grid innovator, I encourage you to apply and join the inaugural list of honorees.”
For more than 10 years, TMC has been honoring technology companies with Product of the Year Awards in various categories. These awards are regarded as some of the most prestigious and respected awards in the communications and technology sector worldwide.
