Before cellular networks became a viable option, utilities had one choice in building a communications layer across the distribution network: creating their own private wireless networks.
One of the critical components of grid modernisation is a reliable, affordable communications network with enough bandwidth to send real-time grid data to back-office systems, and to cover the miles of distribution network where visibility is lacking.
Utilising today's ubiquitous cellular networks as the communications layer for grid modernisation is seen as a viable choice for utilities companies.
