The number of endpoints on utility-owned machine-to-machine (M2M) networks continues to balloon, reaching from tens of thousands to millions of devices. The constant collection and transmission of information from these points is taxing utilities’ ability to manage networks, utilize data, and ensure cost-effective network access for protection and control applications. Standards-based networking protocols and management software can provide effective means of mitigating this challenge through more ei cient routing and prioritizing of real- and near-real-time data to reduce bandwidth constraints, reliably deliver data, create actionable intelligence, and ensure value realization across the electrical system. This whitepaper will include: • The communications challenges that are now facing utilities deploying private communications infrastructure to support automated metering infrastructure (AMI) and distribution automation (DA) applications • A discussion regarding the solutions and best practices that utilities should consider while planning AMI and DA communications deployments
