A pilot program employing WiMax 4G communications and GE (GE 18.30, +0.01, +0.06%) smart meters has worked to allow Consumers Energy's Michigan customers to get the best out of their energy delivery infrastructure. This is the first-ever U.S. smart grid pilot program using this technology. The pilot seeks to demonstrate how real-time, wireless communications between meters in the home and the utility’s network management and control systems can improve efficiency and reliability for all.
