As utilities and smart grid vendors continue to address the challenges of grid modernization, 3GPP LTE low power wide-area (LPWA) technologies will play a key role. While NB-IoT and Cat-M1 (also referred to LTE-M or Cat-M) are both viable alternatives for today’s utility networks, Cat-M1 is becoming increasingly important due to the ability to deliver faster data rates (as compared to NB-IoT) as well as the low latency required for smart meters, distributed automation, and other grid modernization applications.

Anterix contributed a session paper, by Steve Castaneda, to the 2022 CIGRE US National Committee Grid of the Future Symposium. U.S. electric utilities are in a near-constant cycle of spending time and budget overlaying and “patching” new technologies onto an electric grid created more than a century ago. Government mandates and evolving technologies make this…
Read MoreBipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)
Utilities are facing an ever-increasing range of challenges, including wildfires, cyber security threats, and meeting decarbonization goals. New federal funding opportunities can be an essential tool for these energy companies to support the evolution and modernization of our Nation’s electric grid. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) represents a substantial investment in the future and provides a pathway to a cleaner, more reliable, resilient, and more secure energy future.
