Booth #3541, San Diego Convention Center - San Diego, CA, United States

We are excited to invite you to visit Nokia at DISTRIBUTECH® International 2026 in San Diego. Join us at booth #3541 to see how we’re helping utilities modernize their grids and stay empowered for the new energy future.

Nokia is a global leader in connectivity for the AI era. With expertise across fixed, mobile and transport networks, powered by the innovation of Nokia Bell Labs, we’re advancing connectivity to secure a brighter world. For power utilities, that means mission-critical networks that securely connect IT/OT, from the grid edge and substations to your control centers, data centers, and cloud environments. In the U.S., 15 of the top 20 power utilities rely on Nokia networks today.

At our booth, you’ll be able to:

• See our newest hardware platforms for substation, field area and wide area networks—designed for grid modernization, higher capacity and improved resiliency.
• Explore mission-critical WAN communications that provide secure, reliable connectivity from substations to control and data centers for smarter grid automation and operational efficiency.
• Discover how private wireless, IP/MPLS FAN and optical networks support distribution automation, DER integration, AMI, field force connectivity and other critical utility applications.
• Learn about our digital substation solutions that enhance protection and control, enable more advanced analytics and support your substation of the future roadmap.
• Understand how Nokia’s multi-layer cybersecurity and zero-trust-aligned architectures help safeguard critical infrastructure and manage evolving cyber and physical threats.

Don't miss our exciting conference sessions, where Nokia experts (and our customers & ecosystem partners) will share practical experiences and insights:

1. Substation of the Future

   Theme: Digital Substation – how utilities are evolving protection and control, IEC 61850, and edge compute to deliver more flexible, data-driven substations.

2. Communications Networks for the AI-Ready Grid

   What it takes in the network—capacity, latency, security, and architecture—to safely enable advanced analytics and AI-driven operations across the grid.

3. From Blueprint to Field Operations: Lifecycle of the Private LTE Network

   Featuring a major U.S. utility, this session walks through the full lifecycle from business case and design to deployment, operations and scaling of a private LTE network.
