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.
