Webinar: Communications Modernization for Utility Networks—Change for the Better

Join us on 08/24/2011 from 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Today’s utility communications infrastructure connects substations to control centers with a variety of legacy facilities: leased lines, wireless, and dial-up to name a few. Many devices in substations are connected to communications servers with proprietary interfaces that cannot be easily changed or adapted. The result: high cost and complexity with low flexibility and reliability. But new drivers are forcing modernization:



  • NERC/CIP requires better operational management and security

  • The market applies pressure to reduce operating expenses

  • Management demands efficiency and scalability to optimize grid operations and deploy a Smart Grid

Discover how these drivers will affect you, and learns the pros and cons of deploying optical and data solutions.
