PLTE:

Architecture Decisions and Considerations for Successful Deployment

ON DEMAND WEBINAR
Duration: 1 hour

The list of utilities deploying or interested in deploying PLTE networks is growing rapidly. This is due to many factors, including the availability of spectrum, better control for overall communications needs and consolidation of multiple communication platforms. But the main driver is the wide range of capabilities being enabled by distribution modernization and other grid improvements that now require a multitude of communications resources and a large number of monitoring points. 

In this panel discussion, we will dive into the options that need to be understood when selecting an architecture. The webinar will cover:

  • Discover how TECO embarked on their PLTE journey through a unified corporate vision and a comprehensive communications strategy, which played a pivotal role in their success.
  • Gain insights from Evergy on the challenges they faced, highlighting the significance of not only addressing major tasks but also paying attention to smaller details, such as SIMs and devices, which can lead to significant delays and complications.
  • Grasp the meaning of "Control" in the context of utility communications networks, and understand why true control equates to ownership of the network.
