Power utilities
Renew your business with a smarter grid

- Remain a transmission or distribution system operator and automate, improve operational efficiency and optimize asset lifecycles
- Expand your portfolio by entering the renewables market
- Use your assets to offer smart city services, plus 5G small cell backhaul and broadband services
