Wireless technologies as a facilitator of energy efficiency is the topic of the above interview with Sprint’s Brian Huey. With over 14 years of experience in this market, Sprint is more than the wireless connection to the meter, as it helps to provide utilities with an end-to-end solution for improved operations.

Huey talks about some simple automation techniques that they have used to achieve from 20 to over 40 percent in energy savings in their retail outlets. He thinks there is an opportunity for utilities to be the ones that help educate retailers and consumers in terms of implementing the devices that will enable these sort of savings.
