Since 1978, DCSI has marketed and manufactured the highly successful, field-proven Two-Way Automatic Communication System (TWACS®), a power line communication technology which provides unique capabilities that are well suited for Automatic Meter Reading (AMR), two-way load management, Distribution Automation and other value-added services.

  • DCSI has over two million transponders and 600 substations installed and fully operational, or under order, including the industry's largest fully two-way deployments.
  • These systems provide immediate, fully two-way access directly to each end-point device.
  • TWACS technology delivers over 99% message reliability.
  • Utility customers have chosen our technology for large-scale deployment because of the inherently predictable and favorable economics offered by two-way power line communication.
  • The cost-effectiveness of TWACS is unaffected by the density of population, terrain and service territory characteristics.
  • TWACS is truly the industry's best-in-class solution for 100% customer communication coverage.
