SMART GRID CONNECTIVITY OPTIONS RADIO OPTICAL FIBER CELLULAR SATELLITE Source: wikimedia.org
RADIO Provides dedicated coverage with the use of transmission towers. Initial costs, however, are high as a comprehensive infrastructure is required as well as a specialized team for installation and maintenance. Coverage is also limited and does not extend outside of the infrastructure. There is also the likelihood that an issue in one radio can affect a large number of reclosers in the network.

OPTICAL FIBER Also an alternative but deployment costs are high. As with radio, it requires a complex infrastructure and specialized technicians. Once deployed, it becomes cumbersome and expensive to expand coverage. Source: exame.abril.com.br
CELLULAR Offer low-cost data transmission rates but are not reliable. Interruptions in the cellular network are often common due to traffic congestion, network instability and bad weather. Energy utilities can simply not leave mission-critical processes in the hands of a connection that may work most of the time. Source: baguete.com.br

SATELLITE TELEMETRY TERMINAL Small, easily installed satellite terminal NEW CONNECTIVITY PARADIGM FOR UTILITIES
WHY SATELLITE? CONNECTION RELIABILITY AND AVAILABILITY EASY INSTALLATION NO NEED FOR MAINTENANCE INCONSPICUOUS WEATHER RESISTANT Source: www.satelliteprome.com
SATELLITE RECLOSER SOLUTION Internet SCADA Recloser Satellite JUST OPTIMAL DATA! Satellite terminal Recloser control The satellite terminal provides the primary communication means when there is no cellular coverage available.
SATELLITE-CELLULAR RECLOSER SOLUTION Backup Internet SCADA Satellite Primary Cellular Service The satellite-cellular terminal offers cellular as the primary connectivity means, augmenting the availability and reliability of the system with satellite as a backup connectivity means.
SOLUTION INSTALLED IN THE FIELD
REGIONS OF CONSIDERATION Good cellular coverage, but at a critical point in the network Unstable cellular coverage No cellular coverage Source: wikimedia.org

INTERNATIONAL AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS
CONCLUSION ORBCOMM s telematics systems do not require a complex infrastructure. Remote devices (terminals) are deployed to recloser sites as required and the installation process is quite simple. These environmentally-sealed devices require no maintenance and can be configured and updated remotely over the air. Whether satellite or dual-mode (satellite-cellular), ORBCOMM s terminals deliver uninterrupted, satellite connectivity around in the world. With this technology, energy companies have peace of mind knowing any issues in the grid will be reported and therefore addressed in a timely manner, regardless of location.
