From pandemics to natural disasters, unexpected crises reinforce an important reality: utility companies need to be ready for anything. Your infrastructure has to be able to support continuous, adaptive and reliable service that allows for quick and drastic changes in demand. As you continue work to modernize the grid, connectivity will play an important role in keeping your operations safe, efficient and reliable—bringing enhanced visibility and control to all your systems. We’re ready to work closely with you to upgrade and streamline your operations, so you can keep maintaining and improving your service.

As you plan for the future of your utility network, things like distributed energy resources (DER), smart meters, private LTE and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) architecture are taking center stage. These technologies offer better visibility across the entire grid and enable better supervisory control at key points. They also provide insight into usage, demand and distribution, helping your company become greener and more efficient—and making your network more reliable. However, as the industry has become more connected, malicious activity and grid cyber attacks become an even greater risk. We offer several solutions—from private networks to optical encryption—to make sure you stay protected.

Since utility networks extend across every corner of the country, you need a partner whose footprint and expertise working with communities and municipalities matches yours. As the nation’s largest provider of shared communications infrastructure, we can enhance your network’s connectivity and help ensure safety and reliability. With more than 40,000 towers, approximately 90,000 route miles of fiber and approximately 115,000 small cells on air or under contract, we can provide solutions to meet your most broad or targeted needs and equip your organization for the future.

Transform your organization with better infrastructure.

We can help you realize the potential of grid modernization while maintaining network security. Here are just a few key benefits of improved connectivity.

  • More visibility and control: Your entire grid can be monitored and controlled at key points through IoT networks and remote monitoring devices.
  • Greater security: Through dedicated fiber networks and next generation technologies like CBRS and 5G, you can extend your capabilities while maintaining best-in-class security across your systems.
  • Safer operations: With remote monitoring, you can know exactly when something has gone wrong and act quickly to address it, preventing damage to your networks, surrounding communities and the environment.
  • Increased efficiency: You can collect and analyze data from your remote monitoring devices, and use an advanced fiber network for data analysis to make your systems smarter and greener.
