UBBA Webinars

This ecosystem panel will bring together ideas and ask critical questions that directly address how Gen 2 smart meters work on Private LTE, revealing areas of consensus and where further exploration and development is needed.

Enabling smarter, safer and more connected utilities requires cooperation, collaboration and partnership between device manufacturers and network infrastructure providers. This ecosystem panel of experts will discuss solutions that bring redundancy to cellular infrastructure, coordinate power generation, monitor power distribution and ensure employee safety. Thought leaders speaking on this webinar: Elisiario Cunha, VP & CTO, Ericsson…

Not since large-scale deployments of smart meters has there been as much interest and motivation to transform the utilities communications network. #LTE and #5G private networks promise to address a wide range of operational initiatives. In this session, our expert panel will address: • What makes cellular a key technology and what is the role of private vs. public…

Wireless technologies enable wide area coverage that can flex between latency and speed. This allows for diversity of use cases including slow devices like meters, quick response intelligent devices, and high throughput hungry video cameras. Please join UBBA for the free webinar to explore the new capabilities LTE/5G bring to utilities, including: • wireless portability…

Grid digitization initiatives are driving utilities to move beyond legacy communications to advanced private broadband solutions and new Internet of Things (IoT) devices. During the webinar, panelists will describe the voluntary, recommended activities related to cybersecurity that utilities should consider before placing embedded and “IoT” devices into production. These activities can help utilities lessen the cybersecurity…

Bobbi Harris, member engagement lead for UBBA sits down with David Briesacher, Ameren’s Manager of Intelligrid Business Planning & Integration, and Kevin Malloy, VP of Customer Solutions of Anterix, to discuss the early trends from an ongoing UBBA survey, which looks at the realities that utilities face when considering private wireless broadband networks strategies.

On May 13th, the FCC unanimously confirmed the Report & Order to move forward with process of realigning the 900 MHz spectrum to enable utility broadband. This webinar brings the perspective of key utility industry technology experts to discuss what their organizations are doing to support utilities during this transition. Hear from technology leaders Motorola Solutions, Sierra Wireless, Ericsson, Nokia and Anterix.

On May 13, 2020 the FCC approved the use of the 900 MHz band by utility companies for private LTE. Five utility members of the Utility Broadband Alliance (UBBA) will share their thoughts on this decision in a panel discussion. The UBBA is dedicated to assisting its members in planning, designing and deploying secure, reliable and resilient private broadband networks.

This webinar, sponsored by UBBA, brings together utility and technology leaders to share their experiences and knowledge on considerations for utility private broadband infrastructure. This discussion will include the key technological considerations for a private utility broadband initiative, focusing on areas of infrastructure, spectrum, devices and standards. Speakers include: Alan McIntyre (Southern Linc), Kreg Christoff (Motorola Solutions), Warren Westrup (Sierra Wireless), and Mark Poulin (Anterix).

This webinar, sponsored by UBBA, brings together utility and technology leaders to share their experiences on broadband infrastructure and looks at the following key areas: understanding the business opportunities and industry challenges that utilities must take into consideration; real utility drivers and solutions for private broadband; technology, spectrum and use cases.
