The landscape of telecommunications options available to support utilities’ Operational Technology (OT) solutions is rapidly evolving - at a pace compared only by the changing needs of the OT requirements themselves. As utilities replace first generation Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) solutions with current more feature-rich systems and expand the reach of traditional Distribution Automation (DA), Field Mobility (FM) and other existing solutions; new options are required for device connectivity and backhaul. The potential explosion of ubiquitous Internet of Things (IoT) devices will further change the utilities’ needs.

Wi-Fi 6 is increasingly seen as a complementary to cellular technologies such as LTE-M and even 5G –when it becomes widely available. In private networks, the performance uplift of Wi-Fi 6 over Wi-Fi 5 is substantial and more than sufficient to support innovative use cases such as automated guided vehicles, industrial robots and many other applications.

The implementation of fifth generation mobile communication systems in society has been in full swing since around 2020. Mobile communication systems have evolved into a communication infrastructure (1G-3G) and a living infrastructure (4G), becoming an indispensable element in the lives of individuals. It has become a social infrastructure that connects not only people but also things like the Internet of Things (IoT).

The popularity of cloud services has meant big changes for branch office networks, which have been operating for years utilizing only dedicated multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) connections back to a corporate data centers. Now, there’s a need to add broadband connections for faster cloud access. But these links are less secure and complicate network management and policy enforcement. Software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) systems enable branch offices to have both their broadband connections and to enforce policies designed to improve network security and performance.

Increasingly, broadband service providers (BSPs) are upgrading to next-generation XGS-PON fiber networks. Why? These advanced networks are necessary to support the new era we live in—one of high-bandwidth services and rich subscriber experiences backed by popular cloud-based applications and services. Next-generation XGS-PON fiber networks can deliver those high-speed 10G offerings and enable broadband businesses to provide popular subscriber services to both homes and businesses. In this world of increased demand for more bandwidth, BSPs also need networks that enable service provisioning in minutes—not days or hours. Networks must be seamlessly optimized and scaled to meet changing subscriber demands.
