iWire365′s uses a ICT (Information and Communication Technology) methodology that provides a diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, and to create, disseminate, store, and manage information.
iWire365, LLC is a Dallas, Texas-based telecommunication and technology company dedicated to developing the most advanced telecommunication networks and deploying network solutions for complex needs.
iWire365 utilizes next generation network infrastructure (Fiber Optics, Wireless, Cloud Computing, BPL, etc.) and cutting edge smart metering devices to create a smarter, faster with multi-faceted telecommunication future. Over the course of the last two years of operation, iWire365 has forged crucial alliances, partnerships and business development opportunities to establish foundational pillars, in route to realizing a major technological upgrade and unparalleled efficiency in the utility, municipality, and public safety communications networks.
Simply put, networks need to be upgraded to handle the rapidly rising demand for bandwidth. IPv4 addresses are exhausted and ISPs, web browser giants, social networking sites (a la Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Bing and others) are collaborating intensely in preparation for this event. In fact, on June 8, 2011, “World IPv6 Day” was participated in- and sponsored by over 1,000 such ISPs and major internet players. The conclusion: browsers and ISPs are ready and anticipating unparalleled traffic but the infrastructure is lagging behind.
Additionally, consumer devices and the consumers themselves are surpassing the technical capabilities of our nation’s first and secondary responders, public service employees and utilities. Embarrassingly, every-day citizens are capturing, uploading and disseminating crime-scene or natural disaster footage on more reliable platforms and at higher resolutions than the public safety officers tasked with these duties.
The nation’s municipalities and utilities rely on multiple devices for workforce mobility and mission-critical voice and data (smartphones, radios, dongles, etc.) without reliable assurances that these networks and/or services will survive catastrophic events. Moreover, this critical connectivity is out of the control of the agencies that need it most, making prioritization of users and preemption impossible.
Deploying carrier-grade network solutions from major infrastructure players for municipalities and utilities is an extremely costly and terribly inefficient endeavor.
Not only do networks need to change for private and public consumers, but also for supporting radical changes to the infrastructure of the energy market. SMART Grid represents a quantum shift in how electricity, water and gas is used across the United States and around the world. Domestic and global leaders have targeted smart grid technologies as the solution for the current outdated, inefficient and costly utilities infrastructures and this market is expected to grow to $19B by 2015. Smart grid automates end-to-end monitoring and control of electricity usage from generation to transmission to distribution to the end-user via telecommunications. This monitoring and management reduces rates and efficiently ensures electrical ebbs and flows without major distribution and continue rising of utility rates.
Recent SMART Grid projects across the United States have primarily been funded through Department of Energy grants and taxpayer dollars. Through 2010, Stimulus Funds from the Federal Government aimed at jump starting of the SMART Grid deployment. This model did not actualize the rapid growth pathway of smart grid expected. The result has been a slow down in the smart grid market domestically. The recent sluggish growth has also been fueled by an absence of technological innovation and an inability for current smart grid deployments to demonstrate even modest returns on infrastructure investment.
A comprehensive plan coupled with requisite funding has not materialized for large-scale smart gird deployments. Municipal spaces have been left to build and manage these networks on their own at an enormous price point with little return promised returns on their investments.
Major carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint) have also stayed away from upgrading to IPv6 networks because of the high cost of infrastructure and the lack of interest of supporting a smart grid play. Further, most of the current subscribers that could substantially improve services and efficiency from having their own network (utilities, education, public safety, healthcare, and governmental workers) are already using multiple AT&T, Verizon or Sprint devices (dongles, phones, etc.).
In addition to upgrading today’s networks, data centers are in great demand and are a requirement for municipalities and utilities to build to house state of the art networking equipment required in order to deploy Smart Technology. However, the majority of municipalities and utilities lack the capital for technology expansion and lack the technical staffing to deploy and manage Smart Networks and private cloud computing solutions that can dramatically reduce operational expenses such entities face.
To address these issues iWire365 with its partners develop robust data delivery networks and cloud computing solutions across the United States. Most importantly, it provides on-demand command and control, data analystics, priority and preemption for municipalities and utilities.
iWire365 provides consulting, project management and integration services to help guide municipalities, utilities, and public safety agencies develop and deploy the critical components of the telecommunications network infrastructure and build out these networks to provide unparalleled value for a wide range of consumers.
