Backhaul communications description | Private point to multipoint data radio network. | $4,215,659 |
Meter communications network | Power line communications utilizing the TWACS technology. | |
Head end server | REC utilizes a two-way power line carrier technology for its AMI. The technology has a centrally located computer loaded with the applications software. The computer regularly communicates back and forth with equipment installed in the substations. The substation equipment injects the communications signals on the utilities power lines that reach all downline meters and other control and monitoring devices. The AMI system is capable of providing hourly meter reading data. | $307,385 |

* In some circumstances, costs are incurred before devices are installed resulting in a reported cost where the quantity is zero.
* All dollar figures are the total cost, which is the sum of the federal investment and cost share of the recipient (the recipient cost share must be at least 50% of the total overall project cost).
** In some cases the number of entities reporting is greater than the total number of projects funded by the Recovery Act because some projects have multiple sub-projects that report data. View list of sub-projects.
