New Blog Post from our 'Path to Plugfest' series We dive into grid modernization and the massive scale of new assets required. From integrating DERs and EVs to the critical role of Private LTE (PLTE) networks, we cover the challenges utilities face - and the opportunities ahead. We cover: - Evolution of Grid Assets: The shift from centralized power plants and SCADA to DERs, EV chargers, and edge data centers, requiring modern connectivity and real-time data management. - AMI 2.0 and PLTE: AMI 2.0 collects millions of data points for real-time grid control, and PLTE is essential for secure, fast communication across all assets. - Investment and Challenges: With $1.5 trillion needed by 2030, we explore the investments required and what challenges to expect Curious how all this tech connects to your everyday life? Check out the full post ahead of UBBA Plugfest and grab some time to meet us if you'll be in town Thanks to Utility Broadband Alliance (UBBA) and Bobbi Harris, MBA for continued leadership, and John Sala, Jason McClanahan and Jamie Smyth for inspiration within the post. #UtilityInnovation #GridModernization #EnergyTransition #PrivateLTE #DERIntegration #SmartGrid #InfrastructureTech #AMI2.0 #FutureOfEnergy #UBBAPlugfest #CleanEnergy #SitennaSolutions #EnergyResilience #SmartEnergy #RenewableInfrastructure

The second post in our Utilities Smart Grid series 'Path to Plugfest' ahead of the Utility Broadband Alliance (UBBA) Plugfest in Kansas (Nov 4-8). The future of smart grid technologies is here with AMI 2.0 and Private LTE. It’s not just about smart grids - this technology powers everything from real-time data for smarter energy use to unlocking the energy transition and optimized field crews. We discuss: 💡 Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI): How AMI advanced from 1.0 to 2.0, offering utilities smarter, real-time control over the grid. ❓ Why AMI 2.0 Matters Now: Addressing aging infrastructure, the rise of distributed energy resources (DERs), and the need for real-time grid management. 🗼 Private LTE (PLTE): The role of PLTE in supporting not only the grid but also smart devices, field crews, and private wireless. 🏗️ Build vs. Lease for PLTE: Exploring the benefits and trade-offs of building versus leasing PLTE networks. Want to dive deeper into how this tech is shaping the world around us? Let’s meet at Plugfest and explore what’s next for smart infrastructure. #Innovation #SmartNetworks #FutureTech #UtilityTech #AMI2 #PrivateLTE #GridInnovation Utility Broadband Alliance (UBBA) Bobbi Harris, MBA
