“We were working with utilities in general, as well as with transport companies, on networking and software around networking. With this acquisition, we’re looking to get into the application space and enhance it. Now we have a device management platform, a data management platform, and a streaming platform,” he said. “That brings data and distribution of algorithms all the way to the edge of the IoT network, to the on-premises gateways that are collecting information from every device imaginable.”
SpaceTime Insight has raised over $50 million since it was founded in 2007. Their customers include Hydro One, National Grid, Florida Power & Light, San Diego Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, Arizona Public Service, Pacific Gas & Electric, NextEra Energy, RWE, California ISO and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District.
All use the company’s data management platform and associated suite of apps, which allow the companies to tap into the real-time data coming from sensors, meters, and other IoT devices. The platform is designed to seamlessly integrate into the infrastructure of any utility company.
