Building Resilient Utility Networks With Private Networks and Smart, Multi-Network Connectivity

In an era marked by unprecedented environmental shifts and escalating cybersecurity threats, Utility companies are facing some of their greatest challenges yet. In 2023 alone, the United States faced 28 extreme weather events that each resulted in losses of about $1 billion¹, while Europe experienced its second warmest year on record². Additionally, cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure in the U.S. increased by more than 87% compared to 2021³, underscoring the urgent need for more resilient utility networks.
To navigate these complexities, Utilities must prioritize building robust and secure networks capable of withstanding both natural and man-made disruptions.

This webinar, hosted by Semtech and Anterix, explored how Utilities can leverage 900 MHz-based private networks and smart, multi-network connectivity to create a robust, flexible, and secure network environment capable of adapting to various threats and disruptions.

In this webinar you will learn:

• The new physical and cyber threat landscape facing utilities.
• How the expansion of private networks, driven by the new band 106, can significantly bolster the overall resiliency of utility operations.
• Key technologies and strategies to improve network resilience, including smart multi-network connectivity and proactive network and security management.
