Wakefield, Matt Tue, 20 May 2025 18:22:08 +0000 Wakefield, Matt Bindewald III, Gilbert EPRI Webcast: The State of Utility Telecommunications - DOE-Funded Survey
Dear Utility Telecommunications and Cybersecurity Stakeholders, We invite you to an exclusive webcast unveiling the results of EPRI's "Utility Telecommunications State of the Industry" survey--part of the DOE CESER-funded STAR TREC (Secure Telecommunications Architecture for Trusted Electric Communications) project.
This research explores how utilities are navigating the transition to next-generation telecom systems, including private LTE and 5G, and the cybersecurity and performance requirements driving investment decisions. What You'll Learn:
Current State of Utility Telecom Systems o Gaps in capabilities, scalability, and modernization o 80% of current systems may fall short within the next decade
Emerging Requirements for Future Networks o Support for DER, AMI, teleprotection, and automation o High-bandwidth, zero-trust architectures, and enhanced cybersecurity
Investment Considerations o Cost-benefit insights for private LTE/5G adoption or other private networks o Key decision factors: lifecycle, ROI, resiliency, and compliance
This webcast will provide valuable insights to help utilities make informed, strategic decisions about future telecom investments.
Sincerely, Matt Wakefield Director, Information, Communication and Cyber Security (ICCS) Research EPRI
