Network In A Box
Ribbon’s Solution for Rapid Disaster Recovery
A robust communications network is essential for the operation of a utilities OT network. In the event of a natural disaster or an attack, this crucial infrastructure can be damaged. To address this, utilities need a swift recovery solution to restore their OT communications network. Ribbon’s Network in A Box offers a rapid and reliable way to get these networks back online after physical damage.
Why Ribbon?
IT/OT Convergence Made Simple
Utilities have traditionally managed their IT and OT networks as separate sub-networks. This webinar will discuss another approach: how to combine these networks onto a common physical infrastructure.
Benefits of combining the networks can include:
- A simpler overall network design and lower operating costs
- Common equipment can carry both networks simultaneously, lowering capital costs
- A network that can be upgraded, expanded, and enhanced as demands change and new services are added
What Steps do you take from Utility to Utelco?
UTelcos are competitive telecom operators owned by or related to a utility company (power, water, gas, oil, transportation). They usually begin as a group within the utility company in charge of delivering internal communication services. They can then become a competitive telecom operator under the utility-holding company or government entity. Find out the next steps in our Whitepaper.
