Utilities Industry Overview
Delivering comprehensive future-proof digital network transformation for power utilities.
Power Networks are changing.
Digital technologies, the market shift towards renewable energy sources and increasing customer demands and expectations are placing enormous pressure on traditional power networks. Around the globe utilities are embracing digital IP-based network transformation to meet these needs.
Smart grid functionalities, distributed generation and the move to ‘whole system networks’ require new telecommunication management systems with increased control, real-time responsiveness, higher data flow capability and comprehensive data management. They need to be better, more agile, more flexible, faster, more capable and deliver significantly greater quantities of information while continuing to maintain at least the same if not greater reliability than your legacy network.
Designing and delivering a new digital network to meet your needs now and into the future requires an expert, experienced technology partner. As you know, any part failure in this new infrastructure can have a big impact on your business. Effectively and efficiently managing the transition from your legacy network to this new IP-based system is no simple task either.
