WAN Communications for Distribution Networking

This webinar discusses the role of the distribution grid within the context of a broader Smart Grid communications network. Learn about:

• the basics of a multi-tier Smart Grid network. Learn how communications can be segmented into wide area networks (WAN), neighborhood area networks (NAN), and home area networks (HAN).
• the role of the WAN. Learn how the WAN can provide a wireless network with the range and capacity required to provide complete coverage and broadband performance.
• the distribution applications enabled by the WAN. Learn how the WAN’s broadband capacity and low latency can enable applications including AMI backhaul, substation automation, distribution SCADA, video surveillance, switch automation, capacitor bank controls, recloser automation, transformer monitoring, and voltage monitoring.

Application Domain Partitioning for Smart Grid Security

This webinar discusses how an integrated multi-tier communications network can be partitioned into virtual network domains to ensure end-to-end security and QoS for Smart Grid applications. Learn about:

• the basics of a multi-tier Smart Grid network. Learn how communications can be segmented into wide area networks (WAN), neighborhood area networks (NAN), and home area networks (HAN).
• virtual network domains. Learn how the multi-tier Smart Grid communications network can partitioned into distinct virtual network domains.
• application security and QoS. Learn how each applications can be segmented into domains to ensure security and quality-of-service (QoS).
• the benefits of application partitioning. Learn how application domain partitioning enables a converged Smart Grid network to provide secure communications for applications such as substation automation, distribution automation, advanced metering, and demand-side management.
