This Integrated Multi-Service Network for a Smart Grid is: FOUNDATIONAL: The promise of Smart Grids can’t be realized without robust, scalable, secure and integrated networks underpinning their end-to-end scope. STRATEGIC: Utilities will live with Smart Grid investment decisions for a very long time. SECURE: Grid and Network security (physical and logical) will require a comprehensive, policy-based approach using IP technologies to secure critical cyber assets. EVOLUTIONARY: Smart Grid initiatives are deployed into existing grids with legacy telecommunications. Revolutionary approaches increase risk. COMPLEX: Multiple telecommunications solutions (Public and Private network services, wired and/or wireless) will exist in a complete solution for most utilities. Expertly Designing and Implementing Integrated Networks: protects investments by reducing complexity and overlap simplifies day-to-day management allows phased deployments to balance near- and long-term needs
