Reliable and secure communication infrastructure is essential to the safe and efficient operation of the modern power grid. As utilities transition to digital substations, integrate distributed energy resources (DERs), and deploy real-time monitoring systems, the need for robust, scalable grid communications networks has never been greater.
Today’s grid depends on the seamless exchange of latency-sensitive data between substations, control centers, and field devices. This requires a sophisticated mix of fiber-optic cabling, wireless technologies like 5G and private LTE, and intelligent network architectures such as MPLS and SD-WAN. Each solution brings trade-offs in terms of performance, coverage, cost, and reliability—making communication...
