UTC Webinar sponsored by RAD:

 

Much has been made of the need for exclusive licensed broadband spectrum to support utility OT network needs, but licensed spectrum is scarce and the FCC has long declined to make a specific allocation for utility use stating that utilities should either participate in the secondary spectrum market or utility unlicensed or lightly licensed bands. Some vendors have come forward to sell wideband spectrum with very limited data rates that may not scale in the long term, and others vendors have partnered with carriers to provide leased spectrum with their equipment offerings. However, are these expensive offerings really all there is that can support critical data traffic, or can a utility successfully use unlicensed or regulated bands for their critical data requirements and secure them? Several utilities are doing just this and are having great success with it, enjoying data rates and secure connectivity that can’t be matched by any licensed offering, at cost points that are far below the existing licensed spectrum options.

 

Join RAD while they discuss recent deployments of future proof 750 mb/s private broadband wireless systems to replace aging WiMAX networks and sunsetted leased lines. Also provided will be an overview of the beam-forming technology that allows the reliable operation of the wireless network in high noise floor environments, the success of those implementations to date, and how other utilities can successfully deploy their own high speed private wireless network that provides security and guaranteed availability without incurring the overhead costs of licensed spectrum.
