About This Course
The electric grid stands at an inflection point. Utilities face a plethora of challenges, including an aging infrastructure, impacts of climate-change, keeping pace with societal electrification and supporting the green energy movement, particularly around the deployment of renewable energy and the emergence of electric vehicles. These factors demand a grid capable of handling increasing energy demands and the integration of technologies such as edge compute, automation, real-time sense and control and use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. These challenges drive the need to upgrade and transform power grids, and doing so will require a network and control system able to capture data, analyze and react in real-time.
To achieve the greatest return on investment, the grid of tomorrow must be a converged network built upon a fiber-deep architecture which addresses not only the sense-and-control and communication requirements of the Utilities but also provides a highway for Middle Mile and FTTH broadband.  
Target Audience
  • Utility executives and grid modernization leaders
  • Network architects and IT infrastructure managers
  • Engineers focused on automation, AI, and edge technologies
  • Broadband planners and regulatory strategists
