Why Xcel Picked Private LTE and What Happened Next

The power grid is changing and with it comes a shift in how utilities are forming network communications strategies. Communication requirements are becoming more demanding while technology options are simultaneously expanding, creating more deployment options and reduced costs.

Private LTE networks are being deployed and evaluated by many of the largest investor-owned utilities which need to understand how to leverage this powerful technology to build a reliable, secure, flexible, and scalable network that can support many use cases.

Join Xcel Energy to learn about what went into the utility's decision to deploy LTE and how its hybrid communications strategy helps satisfy use cases. Xcel will discuss some of the technical and business considerations in migrating to private LTE including longevity, scalability, coverage, spectrum, use cases, and geography.
