Our Grid Automation Solution Integrated communication Grid Automation solution with integrated communication Improved zone-based distribution network control by using state-ofthe-art reclosers and disconnectors Reliable and cost-efficient communication by using public wireless networks Centralized monitoring and control on the SCADA/DMS

Communication alternatives Current trends in usage Private radio Increasing rapidly: Public wireless Public wireless Copper wire Increasing: Wireless/ Fiber-optic Satellite Wireline Fiber optic Power line communication Power line Increasing slowly: Satellite Decreasing: Copper wire

Benefits of public wireless networks Our recommended solution CAPEX = capital expenditure OPEX = operational expenditure Fast implementation Low CAPEX No need for network building and obtaining licenses Investment only in own communication equipment Low OPEX Low communication and maintenance costs Suitability Continuous multidirectional connection with immediate nationwide coverage Reliability High network availability combined with utility-grade communication equipment Security Multiple levels of encryption and authentication provides high security

High availability in public wireless networks Normal phone vs utility-grade equipment Small antenna Standard radio Listens to few basestations Large antenna Enhanced radio Connected to multiple basestations Power outage in basestation may cause failure in connection Power outage in basestation causes no failure in connection
