Sitenna

📯 New Blog Post: Path to Plugfest - Part 4 In our latest post, we dive into the complexity of modern utility rollouts and the key challenges facing the industry. From integrating new technologies to managing massive data sets, utilities today are juggling a lot. In Part 4 of our “Path to Plugfest” series, we cover: 🔍 The Challenges Utilities face tough hurdles like rolling out new networks while aligning site acquisition, permitting, and zoning, dealing with tight margins, and managing increased technological complexity from DERs to Private LTE networks. ⚙️ The Solutions   Success requires more than just software. It’s about collaboration with experienced partners like Sabre Industries, Inc. and Hemphill LLC. We discuss the importance of: - Integrated software to streamline coordination and provide real-time visibility, ensuring projects stay on track and stakeholders stay aligned. - Working with turnkey contractors like Sabre to handle construction, management, and maintenance. - Partnering with experts like Hemphill for site acquisition and shared infrastructure solutions. With the Utility Broadband Alliance (UBBA) Plugfest coming up, we’re excited to share these insights and discuss how Sitenna can help utilities simplify large-scale rollouts. 🛠️ Meet us at Plugfest - https://lnkd.in/ebU75vMX A big thank you to the contributors for this post and to those joining us at UBBA Plugfest!

As Sitenna continues to support the energy sector, it was amazing to be part of this week's REA EV Charging Forum. A great opportunity to meet with so many parts of the Charge Point Operator CPO ecosystem. Thank you to Matthew Adams for organising and great to have Richard Pain back in the UK following his trip to WISPA in Las Vegas last week. #EV #EVCharging #EnergyInfrastructure

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

Critical, and welcomed, development for the UK Energy market as Ofgem revisits it's energy connections framework. Improving the process and optimising connection requests will greatly speed up the improvements needed for the grid to meet its exploding demands from #AI #EV and support a rapid shift toward #EnergyTransition. #TheGrid #GreenEnergy #DNO #SaaS

The UK's grid battery storage situation is puzzling. 🤔 We're sitting on a goldmine of potential, yet we're not digging. In my years working on telecom infrastructure projects, I've seen how the right incentives can spark innovation. Battery storage is no different. Here's why it matters: → Stabilizes renewable energy supply → Speeds up the transition to #NetZero → Creates new jobs and industries It's not just about building more batteries. It's about: 1. Smart government policies 2. National Grid investing in software to manage itself better (see the FT article!) 3. Collaboration with private developers These steps could supercharge our energy transition. "The benefits of batteries have been evident since 2020, when the UK's electricity system operators took part in trials that suggested batteries could deliver £700,000 of savings in just three weeks..." https://lnkd.in/eux-Ea48 I'm curious: What roadblocks do you see in scaling up battery storage? Is it National Grid? Is it planning legislation? Will Connection Reform do the trick? #EnergyTransition #GridInnovation Sitenna

The start of our Road to Plugfest '24 series where we discuss the growing opportunity for Utilities to modernize the grid. Over the next 4 weeks, we're going to publish a series on how utilities, with the power of private wireless networks, can underpin the technologies of tomorrow by modernizing the grid. Our series will be discussing: - New Technologies: AMI, Private LTE, and Edge Data Centers - New Assets, Old Upgrades: Integrating DERs and Modernizing Infrastructure - Deployment Pains: Navigating the Challenges of Utility Rollouts - Security and Operations: Eliminating Single Points of Failure Follow us for more in the series or if you are attending Plugfest, grab some time at Booth 222 with us to discuss how Sitenna can support. https://lnkd.in/ebU75vMX We look forward to seeing all fellow members and attendees from Utility Broadband Alliance (UBBA) and the host utility Evergy, as well as some of our partners Hemphill LLC and Alpha Wireless.

We are devastated to see the growing impact and death toll of Hurricane Helene across the communities in our adopted home of the South Eastern United States. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and communities directly impacted. Our thoughts and prayers are also with our customers and partners in the infrastructure community as they navigate through the aftermath of the storm. We understand the critical role that infrastructure plays in connecting communities with power, water, connectivity and services. None more so than when a devastating weather event highlights how fragile Infrastructure can be. We are deeply grateful for the resilience and dedication shown by first responders, linemen, and all the essential services working tirelessly to restore normalcy. #Helene #FirstResponders #Infrastructure #FEMA #Resiliance https://lnkd.in/eFNPB8vw
