Nighthawk Systems Receives Initial Order from Inland Power and Light

The CEO700 gives electric utilities the ability to wirelessly disconnect and reconnect power to residential electric meters from a centralized location, improving customer service response times and saving the utility significant time and money over the traditional manual disconnect method that requires multiple truck rolls and field personnel.

Doug Saathoff, Nighthawk's CEO, stated, "We are extremely happy to receive this order from Inland Power. We now have a large presence in this part of the country, with Inland Power joining Avista Utilities of Spokane as a Nighthawk customer. As our customers look to us for new products and assistance with smart grid functionality, we continue to bring new customers into the fold with the proven benefits of the CEO700 wireless disconnect product. In many instances, the CEO700 is the first step a utility takes toward automating meter controls."
