$ UBBA Mini-Plugfest & Workshop for Utilities: Private Broadband in Action
This immersive, interactive, hands-on workshop combines Plugfest-style demonstrations, real-world utility case studies, and peer collaboration to showcase how private broadband networks support critical utility operations.
Join Southern Company, LCRA, Ameren, Exelon, SDG&E, Southern California Edison, and other UBBA member utilities for this utility operations workshop at DTECH to gain insights on practical applications—including next-generation AMI, Distribution Automation (DA), grid-edge intelligence, and low-latency communications—while engaging in discussions focused on today's operational challenges.
Participants will:
- Experience a live Mini-Plugfest demo, where key use cases like mutual aid communications, DA connectivity, and next-gen AMI are brought to life in a dynamic utility showcase environment.
- Explain how private broadband networks support critical utility operations and grid modernization.
- dentify key lessons learned from real-world Private LTE deployments and utility use cases.
- Evaluate communications technologies that enable next-generation AMI, Distribution Automation, and other mission-critical applications.
- Collaborate with utility peers to share best practices and address common operational challenges.
- Apply practical insights to support broadband planning, deployment, and modernization initiatives within their organizations.
You’ll leave with more than ideas. You'll gain a practical framework and actionable takeaways to help accelerate communications modernization and deployment within your organization. If you’re responsible for utility reliability, resilience, or modernizing grid operations, this is a workshop you won’t want to miss.
Seats are limited, so reserve your spot.
