Electric, Gas & Water
Connected workforce & grid telemetry for utilities
LTE PTToC, AMI sensor backhaul and AI-enabled field communications for line crews, substation monitoring and storm response.
Common challenges in Utilities
Storm-response coordination
Mutual-aid crews and contractors arrive with incompatible radios and no shared talkgroup.
Substation telemetry
Legacy SCADA paths can't keep up with modern grid analytics.
Field worker safety
Lone-worker check-ins and GPS aren't built into LMR.
How ip³Things solves it
