2027 Event Agenda

As utilities scale AMI 2.0 across mesh, cellular, and hybrid architectures, traditional traffic models and macro-level network KPIs are proving insufficient. High-level metrics like throughput and latency often miss early-stage issues, failing to capture real-world traffic bursts, control-plane stress, and device-level degradation.

This session bridges the gap between theory and reality. Drawing on operational lessons and anonymized telemetry from ComEd, Eversource, and active AMI 2.0 fleets, speakers will examine how utilities are introducing device-level analytics to:

• Gain fine-grained visibility into endpoint behavior across mesh, cellular, and emerging connectivity platforms
• Correlate cross-layer performance between network and application layers to pinpoint root causes faster
• Shift to proactive operations by detecting early signaling anomalies and leveraging AIOps for fault management

Attendees will leave with a practical, utility-ready framework to translate real-world field patterns into defensible traffic models. Learn how outage-driven burst behavior and application traffic reshape network capacity planning to give you the data needed to optimize network design and build stronger business cases for regulatory approval.
