Smart grid communications
Transition operational communications to an intelligent, responsive and adaptive smart grid network
Increase grid efficiency, reliability and safety by migrating your operational communications to a Nokia adaptive grid network.
Built for power utilities, our Smart Grid Communications solution lets you converge your communication systems on one cost-effective IP/MPLS and broadband wireless 4G network.
This converged network gives you the flexibility to optimize emerging IP-based smart grid applications and extend remote monitoring, control and automation to new devices. It also provides the performance and security you need to support existing SCADA and teleprotection communications.
Remove cost and risk from smart grid migration
We use our technologies and experience to help you make a smooth, cost-effective migration to an adaptive grid network without disrupting your critical operations. With our Smart Grid Communications solution, you get:
- Our field-proven IP network transformation and utility communications experience
- Our award-winning 7705 Service Aggregation Router family with substation-hardened IP/MPLS routers, enhanced security, and proven teleprotection support
- An extensive broadband wireless portfolio for efficient IoT support and IP/MPLS paired with LTE for a consistent services and management environment at key sites
- Comprehensive network management capabilities that help you use utility terminology to simplify daily operations.
