Energy and Utility
Keep Critical Energy and Utility Operations Running Safely, Reliably, and Without Interruption
Power safer, more resilient utility operations with better control, faster response, and stronger visibility across critical infrastructure and remote assets.
Reliable connectivity is the foundation behind safer operations, faster response, stronger visibility, and more reliable service delivery.
Why Energy & Utility Needs a Different Network
Energy and utility environments are more demanding than typical enterprise sites. Connectivity must support operational continuity, safety, security, and real-time control across complex facilities, remote assets, and critical infrastructure.
Power plants, substations, treatment facilities, storage areas, and outdoor infrastructure often include dense metallic structures, machinery, enclosed areas, and non-line-of-sight conditions that make stable wireless coverage harder to achieve.
In critical infrastructure, even brief connectivity loss can affect operations, response time, safety, and service delivery. Networks must be designed for resilience and high availability.
Many utility assets are located in remote areas where fiber is unavailable, backhaul is limited, and local power may be unstable or unavailable, making deployment more difficult.
Energy and utility networks often need to support SCADA, smart metering, IoT sensors, video surveillance, field communications, and operational monitoring across one connected environment.
Operators rely on connected data for fault detection, predictive maintenance, diagnostics, and operational awareness. Delayed or unreliable connectivity can slow response and reduce visibility.

Energy and Utility Mission-Critical Connectivity Use Case
Deploying Wi-Fi in power plants presents challenges due to complex environments and restricted access point (AP) installation locations. The dense arrangement of large machinery, like boilers and cooling towers, can create non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions that hinder wireless signals. Additionally, limited fiber backhaul availability complicates network design.
To tackle these issues, Altai suggests strategically deploying APs at elevated locations in the power plant. By installing APs on high structures, such as cooling towers, we can improve coverage and overcome signal blockage. This method enhances connectivity, supports critical operations, and ultimately boosts the reliability and efficiency of power plant functions.
