A modern grid requires modern communications. Connectivity through Private LTE is helping to shape the future of private wireless broadband networks for utilities with the right tools, solutions, cyber security, and technology—all on a platform ready to power the grid of the future, starting today. Applications proven and popularized in the telecommunications space are being leveraged for utilities' unique needs. Seven utilities are using 900 MHz to deploy these communications networks. That means connectivity for daily operations, identifying faults, communication during natural disasters and future smart grid initiatives. Safety, security, reliability, and resiliency are on the minds of every utility leader and innovator committed to better serving their communities and service territories.

A modern grid requires modern communications. Connectivity through Private LTE is helping to shape the future of private wireless broadband networks for utilities with the right tools, solutions, cyber security, and technology—all on a platform ready to power the grid of the future, starting today. Applications typically in only the telecommunications and wireless technology are now expanding to the Utility Sector enabling an improved communications landscape capable of meeting the changing needs of utility control. That means connectivity for daily operations, identifying faults, communication during natural disasters and future smart grid initiatives. Safety, security, reliability, and resiliency are on the minds of every utility leader and innovator committed to better serving their communities and service territories.

The Northeast Power Electronics Symposium (NEPES) brings together regional, national, and international leaders in power electronics from industry, academia, and government. It serves as a hub to discuss present and future power electronics technology and innovation from materials to systems. NEPES hosts a slate of presentations and panel discussions by power electronics experts, as well as posters and demonstrations by researchers in the field. This first meeting is organized and hosted by the newly established Connecticut Power Electronics Center of Excellence (CONPEX) at the University of Connecticut (UConn). Visit the event website (https://powerelectronics.engineering.uconn.edu/fall-2024-symposium/) for more information.
