From Deployment to Impact: How Tampa Electric Is Accelerating Private Network Value
Forward-looking utilities are upgrading their connectivity and taking control of it. As grid complexity accelerates, the performance of the communications network is becoming as critical as the grid itself. Private wireless broadband networks are emerging as the foundation for delivering the bandwidth, latency, and reliability required for next-generation applications—from AMI 2.0 and wildfire mitigation to DER integration, large load growth, and advanced grid automation.
In this session, leaders from Tampa Electric and Anterix will share how they are working together to move from strategy to execution—where the utility is realizing value fastest from its 900 MHz private wireless broadband network, lessons learned from deployment, and what it takes to accelerate deployment at scale. Attendees will gain practical insights into how private wireless networks unlock greater operational control, real-time visibility, and resilience—creating a more secure, intelligent, and adaptable grid as connectivity becomes the backbone of grid performance.
