THE CHALLENGE
As one of the nation’s largest investor-owned utilities, PG&E operates thousands of substations, distribution points, and remote grid sites across Northern and Central California. Many of these sites are in areas without viable carrier coverage — yet they require reliable connectivity for SCADA systems, smart meter communications, and field crew operations.
The push toward smart grid modernization made secure, reliable connectivity at every site a strategic imperative.
