TESCO – The Eastern Specialty Company, a leader in innovative metering solutions, is proud to introduce the Nighthawk DirectConnect, a game-changing product designed to address the most pressing challenges faced by utility companies today. As utilities continue to modernize and expand their infrastructure, Nighthawk DirectConnect sets a new standard for reliability, security, and interoperability in metering technology.
Utility companies are increasingly challenged by a lack of interoperability across systems, particularly with older meters that are incompatible with newer technologies like the Itron MV-90. Additionally, as cellular carriers phase out support for older networks, utilities are left vulnerable without technical support, leading to potential security risks such as data leaks and breaches. These issues are further compounded by AMI voids, where inconsistent data from dropped connections can result in inaccurate meter readings and system inefficiencies. TESCO understands these challenges and remains committed to providing reliable, secure solutions that ensure seamless connectivity, as long as the signal is available.
Innovating the Future: Nighthawk DirectConnect™
In response to these challenges, TESCO introduces Nighthawk DirectConnect™, a revolutionary product designed to deliver current interoperability and seamless integration with Itron® MV-90* and Aclara® MeterMate** and other systems. Nighthawk DirectConnect™ can be configured for use on virtually any system, ensuring that utilities can maintain consistent, accurate data across their networks without the need for extensive upgrades or additional software.
