TUNet is a single platform on which a utility can operate multiple decision support applications. And it does this at a capital cost comparable to most single solution systems.

The core suite of TUNet applications includes outage management, power quality monitoring, remote meter reading (AMI), load management (DR) and remote switching (DA). Furthermore, TUNet is a platform designed to support emerging applications such as Distributed Generation, which will ultimately contribute to the Smart Grid.

The Tantalus Network Server functions as a utility's command & control center. It is a high-performance, multi-application computer system that processes, routes and stores incoming data and issues outgoing commands within TUNet, as well as to third-party applications such as billing, CIS, GIS, OMS and MDM systems. Tantalus offers various sizes of network servers to meet the requirements of small, large and multi-commodity utilities.

Utilities use TUNet to drive coordinated action between devices and applications. Tantalus delivers the data and provides the tools required to optimize decision making across the entire distribution system. This allows a utility to leverage the full value of its information and use it to make the prompt & insightful engineering, operations and business decisions that help control costs, ensure reliability and manage energy intelligently.
