Utilities are Migrating to Ethernet

As Utilities modernize their networks and implement Smart Grids, they are also driven to change their integrated communications infrastructure. To meet their demanding requirements, the utility industry is turning to Ethernet.

This, the inaugural Utility Ethernet Conference and Exhibition is the only conference that brings together utilities, vendors and associations to focus exclusively on Ethernet network technology. With the participation of the Metro Ethernet Forum, the Utility Network Forum, and technology professionals in the Utility Industry, the Utility Ethernet conference provides an opportunity to brand your company as a leader in this growing market.

The Utility Ethernet Conference provides a unique venue for educating utility network managers, operations managers and technical staff, communications technologists, and more -- on the Ethernet standards, mechanisms and technologies they need to deploy mission critical network applications.

You are invited to participate in the first event of its kind focused on Utility Ethernet. Be part of the solution and take an active role in shaping the deployment and technology solutions for power genera­tion, transmission and distribution.

Why Attend this Event?

Learn how advances in Carrier Ethernet can address the network challenges faced by Utilities, and what needs to be done to address the issues of security and regulatory compliance Discuss strategies to efficiently and cost-effectively migrate to Ethernet architecture to build a unified wide area network that connects control centers, generation facilities, substations and other locations Analyse the economics of Ethernet: why yesterday’s network infrastructures are simply more expensive to deploy and support than today Learn more about Ethernet transport with WDM and MPLS Understand business opportunities of Ethernet connectivity for wireless backhaul and data centers in the Smart Grid Hear case studies of upgrade programs to install Ethernet into distribution substations to support equipment interrogation, monitoring and control demand, video monitoring and other applications.
