Engineering a Robust Field Area Network for Critical Industry Infrastructure
Servicing over a million end-users in an approximately 2900 square mile area, Salt River Project is one of the USA’s
Aiming to improve grid reliability and outage management?
The successful implementation of Distribution Automation technologies relies heavily on a communications network with the capacity and latency to allow for the rapid monitoring and control of critical grid assets.
Gain speed & accuracy with upgraded Distribution Automation Communications
While Distribution Automation can improve efficiency, cost and speed of many distribution grid processes, a fit-for-purpose communications network is required to support the level of data that will be transmitted from across the grid to the Network Operating Center. This communications network therefore requires both high data capacity and also ultra-low latency to provide speed and accuracy in equipment monitoring and data analysis.
Furthermore, given modern society’s reliance on electricity, Distribution Automation communications must offer superior resilience and security to ensure utilities can continue to successfully service their customers.
