Where the Rubber Hits the Road: Private LTE Networks and the Grid Applications Utilities Are Really Pursuing

The industry is buzzing about how private LTE will enable a cleaner, more reliable and resilient grid. But what does that mean, really? What could a private LTE network do for your utility–and specifically, what are the applications and use cases that are driving leading utilities to adopt and deploy private LTE? 

From wildfire mitigation and grid visibility to mutual aid and integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), the universe of private LTE-enabled use cases is almost limitless. That new frontier of innovation and opportunity is fueling a wide and growing ecosystem of products, services, devices, and applications directly focused on addressing utility operational pain points and improving the customer experience.

This special edition includes first-hand accounts from leading utilities of the applications private LTE is enabling for them, as well as the use cases these applications address. It also provides a number of application spotlights from the technology companies driving the private LTE ecosystem.

This issue features articles from Anterix, Cyber Security Global Alliance (CSGA), Duquesne Light, Easymetering, Nokia, SAC Wireless, and World Wide Technology, INC.

Utility Guide to Private LTE

Now more than ever, utilities are being asked to deliver greater resilience, intelligence, and security to support grid modernization. The rapidly growing requirements for utilities to support all these changes while transforming to withstand extreme weather conditions, the adoption of DERs, and more has shifted how utilities need to think about their communication networks. 
 
The inexorable march of utility modernization necessitates a communications network that is a foundational element in providing safe and reliable service to customers today and in the future. As an increasingly complex grid relies ever more upon data, Private LTE networks become one of the utility's primary strategic assets.
 
Many of America's leading utilities have already implemented Private LTE networks but as this area is still emerging and evolving, staying on top of the latest advancements and technologies can be challenging.

And that is where this special edition comes into play. This newsletter features 13 articles contributed by industry experts, each providing a future vision that illustrates the significant role that Private LTE will play in supporting the grid. This issue features articles from Anterix, Black & Veatch, Burns & McDonnell, Council Rock, Easymetering, Ericsson, Nokia, Q-Net Security, Schmidt Utility Advisors, Sharper Shape, INC., West Monroe Partners, and World Wide Technology, INC.

Visioneering the Private Networked Grid of the Future

Private LTE Wireless Broadband is the Foundation of the Grid of the Future.

Creating a smart connected grid of the future is imperative for utilities. To do that means to look beyond modernization and imagine a scenario that enables them to keep up with the demands of an increasingly sophisticated customer and new and increasingly complex technology, as well as the ubiquity of two-way energy flows and the integration of DER and microgrids.

If you have wondered how the electric grid of tomorrow will keep up with the rapid change and disruption facing the energy sector, you will want to read these articles. Industry experts from utilities, manufacturing and other sectors shared their visions
of how 900 MHz licensed spectrum could support the grid of the future within this special issue.
