Utilities, such as power, gas and water companies, have built reliable and well-managed internal communication networks to control and monitor various mission-critical applications. Utilities are constantly introducing new application support for grid automation including: teleprotection, operational voice, surveillance video, grid monitoring, automated meter reading, power quality monitoring and load management. A remarkable proof of this trend is the numerous grid modernization initiatives such as IntelliGrid, SmartGrid, Smart Energy Alliance and GridWise.
