Fiber to Every Substation

Automation of substations with centralized visibility, advanced manageability, and wide area coordination

Foundation for utility-scale applications– Storage– Distributed Generation

High-performance backhaul for many types of AMI

Strategically-positioned points of connectivity for – emergency services, – disaster support, – commercial communications, – cellular and internet penetration

Utilities Perspective Fiber Deployment

Investing in fiber, at least to every substation carries no risk, either technically or economically

High-performance infrastructure that interconnects the Operations Centers and Substations serves as a spinal column of a utility system with support for multiple applications

Optical Market Segments

Optical Access– Capabilities of fiber optic access offer increased scalability and reliability– Migration to packet networks requires effective TDM transition– CWDM and PON provide fiber relief

Metro WDM– DWDM and multiplexer technology effectively addresses Metro aggregation

and transport needs– Represents a natural next step for our Ethernet aggregation platform

Long Haul and Core– Wavelength switching and agility offer versatile and resilient optical transport

capabilities– Integrated TDM and packet switching drive additional platform requirements

(evolution from pure optical transport)

The Situation – Smart Grid

There are two different classes of products for Power Companies:

– NEBS compliant for Telecom apps– IEEE 1613 compliant for Substation apps

The problem: The two product lines come from different vendors and have different OAM&P, training requirements, price points, and feature sets.

The goal: Consolidate those two categories into one product line with unique hard appliqués for the differing requirements.

NEBS vs 1613

NEBS 3 A Telcordia standard

for equipment to be utilized in the Public Network.

IEEE 1613 An IEEE standard for

use in Electric Power Substations
