08/28/2008 Webinar: Connectivity: the Key to the Smart Network

Smart Meters are one aspect of a solution that allows for energy networks to be upgraded at the same time promoting overall energy efficiency and conservation.  Critical for any utility to enable any Smart Metering/Smart Grid strategy is to have a telecommunications network that provides ubiquitous connectivity through out its operating territory. Come hear how one utility, Hydro One, is implementing this strategy over their entire service territory – including rural areas. In fact, Hydro One has deployed approximately 500,000 Smart Meters to date with a goal of reaching 1.4 million customers by 2010. This Webinar will walk you through the Hydro One’s Smart Grid communications plan. At the end of the presentation, there will be a chance for participants to ask questions about the deployment. If this is something your energy or water company is considering implementing, we encourage you to attend.

10/27/2008 2008 Joint Use & Pole Attachment Conference
Joint Use & Pole Attachment issues are undergoing significant changes in terms of the business, the technology and regulations that apply.  On the business front, there is increasing demand for attachments at a time when infrastructure is undergoing dramatic changes as new codes go into effect and systems continue to be built out and built up.  On the technology front, utilities are implementing new management systems to better track attachments, and they’re accommodating access for a dizzying array of wireless attachments and smart-grid equipment.   Last but not least, the FCC is considering fundamental changes to its regulations that could establish uniform regulated rates for broadband attachments, ILEC attachments, and wireless attachments, as well as impose a host of “best practices” for access for pole attachments.  With all these changes, you need to learn from experts and network with your peers to discover opportunities and overcome challenges that lie ahead.  Don’t miss the 2008 Joint Use & Pole Attachment Conference!
