Case Study
Creating a High Capacity IP Smart Grid Network
New Hampshire Electric Cooperative (NHEC) sought to design and implement a microwave communications network that would support their new Smart Grid Project.
NH Electric Cooperative (NHEC) Partners with Green Mountain for High Capacity IP Smart Grid Network – Project Completed 2013
Challenge
New Hampshire Electric Cooperative (NHEC) sought to design and implement a microwave communications network that would support their new Smart Grid Project. The challenge was to develop a highly-resilient microwave backbone system to be installed at 22 tower sites across New Hampshire that would provide the backhaul function for communications with NHEC’s 83,000 electric meters.
Situation
Green Mountain partnered with NHEC to develop and deploy an advanced plan for purchasing, implementing, and maintaining a microwave backbone system that would support the Smart Grid Project. This infrastructure network had to be capable of the transport of their NHEC core system traffic that included Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Land Mobile Radio (LMR), and Enterprise Data.
