OG&E’s smart grid revolutionizes network control using Nokia’s multi-tiered IP/MPLS communications network

“Our working relationship with Nokia has been great, as they have been very reliable in getting the technical design in place, making adjustments as we go along,” Grant said. “The deployment has been going well and we haven’t had any issues from a schedule or scope perspective, but flexibility is key. For example, as we optimize the local area network, it changes the technical design of the wide area network to some degree, so it’s really important that we have a close working relationship with partners that are fully engaged in the project and working with our team.”
