DPS, Tridium Target Telecom Operators

FRESNO, Calif. -- DPS Telecom, a leader in network reliability management and remote telemetry, along with Tridium, Inc.(R), a leader in software technology for device-to-enterprise integration, today announced a strategic alliance to enable Telecom customers to integrate their building automation and network telemetry systems.

DPS and Tridium have pooled their respective technologies and application expertise to enable Telecom customers such as AT&T and major Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) to cost effectively integrate virtually all smart devices within their facilities into a single software infrastructure.

This integrated approach enables customers to leverage and preserve existing Telecom monitoring equipment, building automation systems, and other "smart devices" by enabling them all to communicate via standard telemetry transport equipment and protocols such as TABS, TBOS, E2A, and TL1 over IP.

"In addition to integration with legacy devices, systems based on protocols such as Lonworks, BACnet, OPC, SNMP, Modbus and other standards, can now be web-enabled and integrated into existing critical site monitoring systems," said John Petze, CEO of Tridium Inc. "The technology will also enable customers to utilize data from these disparate systems in real time control strategies not previously feasible through conventional alarm systems."

"This partnership will enable carriers to manage both the facility and all of the equipment inside it with one common system," said DPS Telecom CEO Bob Berry, "This will streamline network management costs and improve the reliability and control that our clients have over their networks and the buildings that house that equipment."
