Tantalus Systems announced that EPB in Chattanooga, Tennessee, is expanding its existing partnership with Tantalus to deploy TRUSense Ethernet Gateways ("TEGs") across its service territory. Commencing during the summer of this year, EPB is planning to deploy an initial 20,000 TEGs over the next five years. Under the agreement with Tantalus, EPB has an option to purchase additional TEGs during the term of the contract and will also be updating a portion of its existing metering infrastructure to the latest generation of Tantalus' technology.

EPB served as a member of Tantalus' TRUSense Gateway advisory committee to support its ongoing commitment to leverage advanced technology for its automated distribution grid and enhance operational efficiency. Tantalus' TEGs will seamlessly integrate with EPB's existing fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network and support EPB's metering infrastructure with advanced power quality insights while simultaneously supporting broadband services. The EPB deployment demonstrates the scalability and effectiveness of the TRUSense Gateway in addressing the evolving needs of utilities.

TRUSense Gateways, which include options for fiber, ethernet or cellular connectivity, offer utilities an accelerated path to grid modernization by providing granular access to critical data, which helps utilities improve the resiliency, efficiency and reliability of their distribution system.
