Smart Grid, FERC, NERC, increased reliability, compatibility with the present and flexibility for the future.
Your business is changing. We understand.
Today’s communication infrastructure that connects substations to control centers consists of a variety of unprotected facilities – leased lines, wireless and dial up. Devices in substations are connected to communications servers with costly interfaces. The result is high cost and complexity and low flexibility and reliability.
Driven by external and internal forces, the business of utilities is changing. NERC is requiring better operational management and security, the market is putting pressure on operation expense and the need for efficiency and scalability and management wants to optimize grid operations. These drivers are forcing a modernization of the utility communications infrastructure.
