With the IoT, utilities can extend the enterprise network to the field, turning the vehicle into a remote mobile office, and allowing all critical application to be run in and around the vehicle. With vehicle-ready I/O, GNSS location technology and inertial navigation systems, networking routers deliver detailed vehicle and location information – critical for field workers and central teams and fast response times.
Maximize response times especially after natural disasters
Track their fleets
hundreds of vehicles including bucket trucks
Keep workers safe
and track /report unsafe behavior
Reduce operating costs
linked to multiple cell plans, tracking platforms
Record work
at job site to protect from litigation
Remotely manage their fleet
to optimize usage and maintenance
Give field workers all the information
they need at their fingertips by connecting them to enterprise and enabling them to work in and around their vehicle
IoT solutions enable grid modernization and maximize business outcomes by providing the connectivity needed to connect grid equipment (reclosers, capacitor bank controllers, fault locators) to central /SCADA systems used to monitor real-time line condition, retrieve load data and interact with field equipment.
A private LTE network is a virtual guarantee your organization will have consistent, reliable coverage across your entire footprint. Full control and ownership of your network ensures clear communication—even in remote areas.
Keeping communications online is essential to running your business efficiently and effectively. Private LTE networks can be designed to withstand catastrophic events, keeping your system online during emergencies—when you need it most.
With private LTE network deployment, you own and control your entire system. You can schedule maintenance, upgrades and any other interruptions or outages to minimize their impact on your operations.
The growing threat posed by hackers and cyber criminals to utilities is well-documented. Security, regardless of your choice of network solution, must be a top priority. Deploying a private LTE network allows your organization to add new and redundant layers of security without compromising the quality of service you offer your customers.
No two utilities have the exact same requirements. A private LTE solution allows you to support a wide variety of applications and use case scenarios as needed.
A growing number of utilities are transitioning to a private LTE network solution as they work to realize the potential of smart grid modernization and digital transformation initiatives, including smart meters, gas sensors, voltage regulators, distributed energy resources and new applications to connect remote sites and workers.
