ICx Technologies Wins $3 Million SCADA Contract with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)

ICx Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq GM: ICXT), announced today that it has been issued a blanket $3 million contract from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the largest public power company in the United States, for remote terminal units (RTUs). TVA has selected the Callisto™ Edge™ from ICx as a small RTU to deploy throughout their supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system.

Edge is the latest generation in SCADA RTU technology. Designed as a technologically advanced yet cost effective solution, Edge remote modules will help increase power system visibility for the Tennessee Valley Authority. The equipment will support real-time data acquisition and control of the TVA power system as well as operational and non-operational power system data. Edge modules will be deployed in substation and pole-mount environments throughout the TVA system to help meet the need for increased data concerning system efficiency and effectiveness.

"Our Edge remote terminal units provide an economical option for increased power system data monitoring,” said David Green, general manager of ICx Control Systems, a business unit of ICx Technologies. "Incorporating powerful RTU technology, the Edge product is the culmination of our distribution automation efforts over the last twenty years and is well suited to address applications created by the Smart Grid segment of the recent economic stimulus package. We look forward to working with TVA on their automation efforts.”

The Callisto product suite includes an array of SCADA modules that perform complex control and monitoring functions, powerful stand-alone remotes that combine the capabilities of multiple modules and application-specific solutions that directly address the needs of today's electric utilities.

The entire line of ICx SCADA products will be on display this week at DistribuTECH in Tampa, FL, booth number 213. For more information on SCADA products from ICx, visit http://daq.icxt.com.
