Utilities

VIAM works with utilities as a trusted partner – helping them improve efficiency and maximize return on investment. SCADA data plays a vital and ever-increasing role in the success of any utility and presents multiple opportunities for us to assist. For example, we can help utilities to:

  • Leverage existing infrastructure to improve data flow
  • Generate more bandwidth for managing and monitoring applications
  • Relay monitoring and metering information from electrical substations back to a central location
  • Monitor and optimize key assets
  • Leverage existing communications to generate additional revenue streams

Case Study

A Rural Electric Utility COOP had developed an extensive fiber optic network to serve its operating needs. As the network grew, the COOP found that it could generate additional revenue streams by serving its private and commercial customers. The COOP wanted to continue to expand its communications business.

Through its relationships with the leading wireless carriers and extensive understanding and experience in wireless communications, VIAM partnered with the COOP to provide cell site backhaul services to the leading wireless carriers. As a result wireless service coverage and capacity were expanded in the COOP’s territory, thereby improving productivity for local businesses, enhancing public safety and creating an environment that compelled outside companies to relocate and invest in the area.
