Enabling Technology
Private LTE networks add reliability, availability, and security
▪ Private LTE is a localized cellular network including cell sites and core
network servers
▪ Guarantee radio coverage across the network
▪ Improved network reliability during catastrophic events
▪ Optimized for the application (e.g. high bandwidth or low latency)
▪ End-to-end network security
▪ Dedicated spectrum (CBRS)

Enabling Technology
Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS)
▪ 150 MHz of spectrum within the 3.5 GHz band dedicated for military and commercial use
▪ Utilities can develop, build, and operate their own private wireless networks
▪ 10 utilities purchased CBRS spectrum during the August 2020 FCC auction

Enabling Technology
FirstNet from AT&T and the Department of Commerce
▪ Purpose built network on LTE Band 14 for public safety and critical infrastructure
▪ Utility companies can subscribe as “extended primary” users of the nationwide public-
safety broadband network
▪ 99.99% service availability
▪ No throttling or prioritization on the network
▪ Dedicated network core with end-to-end encryption
▪ AT&T has exclusive rights to the spectrum until 2025
▪ Requires FirstNet certified device
