About this talk
To achieve the ambitious objectives of grid decarbonization, balance, and resilience, 4G/5G Field Area Networks (FANs) have emerged as pivotal solutions. These networks play a critical role in securely connecting various components of the smart grid, including Distribution Automation (DA), Distributed Energy Resources (DER), Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Additionally, it facilitates the integration of video monitoring cameras and remote staff spread across expansive service regions, ensuring the provision of adequate bandwidth and Quality of Service (QoS).
In this webinar, distinguished experts from leading organizations such as PGE, Expeto, and Dell will delve into an innovative hybrid approach to implementing 4G/5G FANs. Participants will gain valuable insights into how this hybrid approach can revolutionize the energy landscape. Not only does it provide a more cost-effective and scalable solution for grid decarbonization and resilience, but it also ensures the necessary private cloud infrastructure to support such a FAN. Join us to explore this transformative approach and its potential to propel utilities towards their decarbonization and grid resilience goals.
