BaseN is also a member of an international e-Science consortium EGEE. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) is the largest multi-disciplinary grid infrastructure in the world.
Although the BaseN Platform was originally developed for IT network monitoring, the ability to integrate it with sensors and other measurement devices such as electric and gas meters opens up new possibilities in energy and environment measurement. The BaseN Platform is measuring an equivalent of more than 8 million smart meters every minute and making the data available in real time. BaseN is to be the foundation for the Smart Grid by connecting every point of energy consumption in real time.
The BaseN Platform interacts online with the existing company networks e.g. customer relationship management
(CRM), billing system and trouble ticketing system and provides real-time alerting as well as fault reporting from all crucial resources. A central feature is that all the information is available through multiple terminals, such as PCs
, laptops and mobile phones.
The benefits of BaseN Platform solutions are that it reduces operating costs, prevents breakdowns and congestions and enables faster issue resolution. Based on the next generation grid computing, the BaseN Platform is linear scalable and provides superior processing power. This enables the end-to-end, maximum granularity monitoring of large communication and infrastructure networks. Some example measurements are:

The BaseN Platform
The BaseN Platform - built on a distributed computing grid which allows linear scalability, exceptionally high processing speeds, and very high resilience - provides customers of all sizes with an extraordinarily reliable and cost-effective operating environment capable of handling enormous amounts of data in real-time. It also provides new tools to secure and safeguard data. The components within the grid work together, but can function separately from each other and automatically take each other's roles.Although the BaseN Platform was originally developed for IT network monitoring, the ability to integrate it with sensors and other measurement devices such as electric and gas meters opens up new possibilities in energy and environment measurement. The BaseN Platform is measuring an equivalent of more than 8 million smart meters every minute and making the data available in real time.
