Communications networks have strategic importance for power utilities working towards key operational and business objectives such as:
- Grid modernization and IT/OT convergence
- Network funding and cost control
- Network resiliency and security.
Advancements in optical networking technology provide essential support for these objectives. They can help utilities monitor and control their grids, improve service availability, optimize cost and grow revenue.
Join Nokia technology evangelists for a discussion that explores key optical transport advancements and their value to power utilities. You will learn about innovative optical networking use cases, including:
- Using fiber optic cables as sensors to detect nearby threats to communication integrity, including construction equipment and seismic events
- Using AI policy-driven automation to improve link restoration and network resiliency
- Leveraging optical transponder advancements to enable massive capacity, extended reach and physical miniaturization
- Using optical networks to interconnect data centers, either owned by the utility or as a service to customers along the utility’s right of way
- Ensuring security in the quantum age through multilayer cryptography.
