Advanced
AMR Technologies is a subsidiary of Peabody , MA based AES
Corp., (no affiliation with NYSE listed AES Corporation). AES
Corp was founded in 1974 as a contract-engineering firm providing
PCB design and manufacturing services. In 1976, under contract to
the U.S. Government, AES Corp. began developing products for specialized
security applications. This expanded from not only providing security
component products, but also to provide security installation and
design services to US Government facilities around the world. This
family of products and services fueled the companies' growth for
over two decades.
In the early
1990s, AES Corp. responded to a U.S. Government request to develop
a wireless communications network that would serve the security
communications needs of Americans in remote and often hostile parts
of the world. The challenge was to create a 2-way data network that
required no dedicated radio towers, no reliance on local phone or
cellular providers, met high reliability standards, and was easy
to install. As a result, AES Corp .developed and patented the first
long-range wireless mesh network, known as AES-IntelliNet. AES-IntelliNet
technology quickly became the industry leader in the Fire and Security
Alarm industry in the 1990s and serves other market needs such as
Home Arrest Monitoring, Vehicle Tracking and Vending Machine management.
Using this same
AES-IntelliNet technology, AES developed a new family of products
(AES-IntelliMeter) in 2000 specifically to serve the energy information
and control needs of the Energy Management industry. These products
monitor, report and control energy usage in situations that require
real time, wide area, low cost energy management solutions that
were previously not practical.
The Advanced
AMR Technologies business unit of AES Corporation was established
to serve this market.
