Workforce HotSpots

With a field workforce spread across your service territory, connectivity from remote areas to central office systems will minimize drive time and enhance operational efficiency.  With wireless connectivity, field workers can download work orders, access troubleshooting and diagnostic info and more.  Creating Wi-Fi HotSpots at substations, warehouses or other field locations can give your workforce the access they need to get their jobs done.  Even at office locations, Wi-Fi access can enhance office employee productivity.

Trilliant’s SecureMesh® DualBand option enables HotSpot connectivity at office or field locations. SecureMesh nodes integrate access and backhaul in a single, rugged unit to simplify installation and operation. Each node includes an access point operating at 2.4 GHz (unlicensed Wi-Fi) along with the mesh backhaul operating in the unlicensed 5 GHz spectrum to eliminate RF interference with the access point. 

The SecureMesh solution is a self-forming, self-healing wireless mesh network that installs quickly and easily, and requires minimal ongoing management. The mesh topology automatically creates multiple wireless paths which offer built-in redundancy.  Our innovative mesh technology dramatically improves overall throughput, achieves better penetration through obstacles, and reaches longer range between nodes. This allows HotSpots to be deployed more cost-effectively across large geographies, including in those locations that are well beyond the reach of most other wireless systems.

Rural electric utilities can deploy Wi-Fi HotSpots that deliver coverage, capacity, and integration with central office systems to better manage their entire workforce.
