What's ahead for #criticalinfrastructure in 2025? In his latest blog post, Anterix COO Ryan Gerbrandt identifies some key trends for #utilities and other critical infrastructure industries: *?? Ongoing utility investment in smarter energy infrastructure *?? Accelerated grid decentralization and distribution automation *?? Continuing to sharpen the industry's focus on reliability and resiliency *?? Accelerating the utility transformation with AI *?? The importance of #900MHz spectrum for utilities "One common thread among all these predictions: advanced grid communications plays a role in enabling and advancing all of them," Ryan writes. "A decentralized grid needs more communication and control. Private LTE helps to make a grid more resilient and can help utilities better optimize disaster response operations. And the easiest way to collect and transfer data in real time across a grid spanning hundreds of thousands of miles is through private wireless communications." Read more: https://lnkd.in/gmReyhmw

"Private LTE provides an added layer of security," Evergy Vice President of Distribution Ryan Mulvany said yesterday during the NARUC Winter Policy Summit in Washington, DC. Evergy's "private broadband network is the cheaper option for us now, and beneficial for the future," he added. ? Mulvany was joined by Anterix Chief Regulatory and Corporate Communications Officer Chris Guttman-McCabe at a panel moderated by Iowa Utilities Commission Chair the Hon. Erik M. Helland. The conversation highlighted how #privateLTE provides crucial end-to-end encryption for #utilities as they deploy tens of thousands of connected devices to the grid, all while boosting resilience, safety, and reliability, and delivering additional benefits for utility customers. ? L to R: Guttman-McCabe, Mulvany, Helland. #NARUCwinter25

"Utilities only can truly ensure the coverage, performance, reliability, resiliency, and cybersecurity of [their] networks when they have end-to-end control. Private LTE wireless technology is a natural step in that direction because utilities can design a private wireless broadband network that works with their current system and expands upon its benefits." ? Congratulations to Anterix Director of Product Marketing Jean Jones, MBA, who has been invited to join the Energy Central (EC) Network of Experts. In a conversation with EC's Matthew Chester, she shares insights on how utility communications networks are enabling transformation for #utilities. From the impact of connectivity at the grid edge to the role of AI, Jean's perspectives explore how utilities can advance resilience, security, and grid modernization. Read the interview now:
