Intelligent Connectivity: Building the Next‑Generation Network Platform for AMI, DER, and Grid Modernization – Part 1
As utilities advance their grid‑modernization strategies—including AMI 2.0 upgrades, DERMS integration, and Distribution Automation—the connectivity architecture becomes a foundational decision. In this first session, co‑presented by Duquesne Light Company, Nokia and Itron, speakers will take a detailed walk‑through of the architecture behind how private cellular, RF mesh, and PLC can be engineered together to achieve 100% device reach, enhanced resiliency, and low‑latency performance. Technical highlights include approaches for flattening the mesh using meters as takeout points and expanding the population of bellwether meters with direct back‑office connectivity.
Attendees will leave with practical design guidance, integration considerations, and performance insights essential to architecting a next‑generation network capable of supporting both AMI and grid‑edge applications.
Join us in the Grid Edge Intelligence Hub to kick off the conversation, which will continue immediately afterward at 11:00 AM with Part 2 in Room 25A in an interactive roundtable format.
