WHITE PAPER / PRIVATE NETWORKS FOR UTILITIES

CHOOSING PRIVATE OVER PUBLIC NETWORKS FOR CRITICAL COMMUNICATIONS

When disaster strikes, communities need power restored quickly. To make that possible, communications are paramount. With limits and conflicting priorities on public communication networks, investment in pursuing and upgrading private networks is becoming more attractive.

A utility’s priorities are different from those of public communication network providers like Verizon or AT&T. Each approaches technology investments and measures success differently. They have differing customer service expectations and reliability needs. When natural disaster strikes, they respond differently.
