Infrax Systems 

Infrax Systems, Inc., established in 2004 and based in St. Petersburg, Florida, specializes in delivering integrated solutions for the intelligent electric power grid. The company's core offerings combine operational management, communication capabilities, and advanced security, creating a unified system for managing applications and data flow within the smart grid environment. (The company was previously known as OptiCon Systems, Inc. before changing its name in January 2010.) A central component of their product line is the Secure Intelligent Energy Platform, which empowers utility companies to interact effortlessly with various devices connected across the power grid. To facilitate this communication, Infrax provides essential hardware, including the Secure Network Interface Card. This card resides within utility power meters, encrypting and transmitting critical data such as energy usage, voltage, and current. They also supply network infrastructure components like collectors, concentrators, and signal repeaters. Their software portfolio features GridMesh, which enables their hardware devices to securely integrate and communicate within the network. For robust wireless connectivity, Infrax offers Utility Max (UMAX) and UMAX+ solutions, allowing electric utilities and telephone carriers to establish point-to-point or point-to-multipoint Ethernet connections. The company further bolsters grid security with its Grid Intrusion Management systems. Infrax also offers a distribution automation solution, providing two-way communication from power grid distribution devices to central back-office systems or substations. Complementing their products, they provide managed services, encompassing network design, deployment assistance, and program oversight. Smaller utilities can also benefit from their professional services, which include engineering, construction, and project management support. Furthermore, to optimize asset tracking, Infrax provides an asset tracker solution for managing the inventory of smart electric power grid components, such as meters, collectors, concentrators, and other substation or field-deployed equipment.
