Great River Energy chooses Mimomax as SCADA communications partner
Great River Energy of Maple Grove, Minnesota kicks off 2018 with a large Point-to-Multipoint communications project utilizing Mimomax radios to support their extensive SCADA network.
Running a range of critical applications across their network, Great River Energy required a partner who could provide a resilient, scalable solution which would give them visibility of 4,700 miles of transmission line.
“At Mimomax, we focus on a “work with” approach. We collaborated closely with Great River Energy to ensure the technology we deliver meets their SCADA requirements, improves reliability and maximizes investment in the 700MHz Upper A Block through superior spectral efficiency,” says Paul Reid, GM of North America, Mimomax.
With available 700 MHz Upper A block spectrum being both scarce and valuable, the challenge for Great River Energy was to find a partner who could maximize their data throughput while improving reliability in a narrowband channel – the key point of difference offered by the Mimomax technology. Utilizing MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology, offering very low latency and providing a range of specialized antennas, the Mimomax solution optimizes data throughput and allows for rapid control and feedback on the state of the network.
Headquartered in New Zealand, Mimomax has recently opened an office in Phoenix, Arizona to provide support and sales closer to their North American customer base.
Great River Energy is a not-for-profit cooperative which provides wholesale electric service to 28 distribution cooperatives in Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin. Those member cooperatives distribute electricity to approximately 685,000 member consumers. Great River Energy generates electricity from a variety of resources, including coal, natural gas and renewables. With $4 billion in assets, Great River Energy is the second largest electric power supplier in Minnesota and one of the largest generation and transmission cooperative in the United States.
