PowerSouth Network Master Planning

Building a Custom Network Infrastructure for Today and Tomorrow’s Power Needs

Like other utilities, PowerSouth has been faced with the need to increase capacity to accommodate growing demand from customers. The increased capacity requires network expansion to edge devices beyond substations.They  recognized the need for a telecommunications master plan before undergoing an upgrade to their communication architecture at this scale. Their internal networks team was also already occupied with ongoing projects to bolster system reliability. To validate their existing operation and provide a vendor-neutral perspective on future network design, PowerSouth enlisted Black & Veatch to work alongside their networks team to fully integrate planning, engineering, design and implementation.

Advanced communication networks are changing the way people interact with data, technology, and each other. What was once a distant, singular transaction at a keyboard is now an immersive experience via smart interfaces and new capabilities.

We are linked to and guided by input from thousands of connected devices—from mobile phones and telehealth wearables to sensors of every kind.

As a hallmark of our digital world, data is created, shared, and analyzed widely, creating layers of input and insight, making our interconnected experience richer, tangible, and more valuable.

Small Cells, Big Connectivity
Small Cells, Big Connectivity

Major wireless carriers and infrastructure providers are deploying small cells to meet the demand for faster delivery of more data and video. Most of the time, hundreds to thousands of nodes are deployed at once, in addition to a fiber backhaul network, to achieve desired coverage, capacity, and signal propagation. These programs are complex and can involve hundreds of staff, high-volumes of materials, and many concurrent deployment sites across the country.

Reliability Reboot: AEP and PSE&G Digitize Underground Systems

Utilities are hardening their distribution systems to become more reliable. To do this, many are moving their aboveground systems to underground vaults to protect transformers and other components from damaging weather. Other utilities, such as American Electric Power (AEP) and Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G), are modernizing their existing underground systems to make field data visible and actionable.
