Utilities must adapt and transform the electric grid to meet smart grid requirements. The smart grid must scale to accommodate many endpoints and ensure proper power distribution and seamless integration of clean energy sources. As the grid becomes smarter and digitized, it becomes more vulnerable to cyberattacks and threats. Utilities have sharpened their focus on strengthening the grid with the latest technological and operational improvements like: → Smart edge devices → Edge data processing → Interoperating networks → Secure data flows The foundational communications network assists utilities in meeting challenges and mitigating risks. It also enables them to increase customer satisfaction and improve operational metrics. A 900 MHz private wireless broadband network gives utilities enhanced control to counter potential threats. It offers a resilient utility infrastructure with increased data speeds, capacity and security. Utilities that own and manage a private wireless network can tailor it to their needs. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specifications outline a comprehensive framework for security architecture. They cover aspects such as: → Mutual authentication: Prevents unauthorized access and ensures that user equipment and the network validate each other’s identities before connecting → Encryption: Safeguards data confidentiality as it’s transferred over the air → Integrity protection: Ensures that data hasn’t been tampered with during transmission A combination of specifications and standards can be leveraged to strengthen private LTE network security, such as: → 3GPP specifications → The North American Elec
