SCE Journey to Private 5G
Tuesday, June 17 | 3:00–4:00 PM
Featuring utility insights into private wireless deployment
Speaker: Jeff Pittman, Head of the Enterprise Market Unit for Mobile Networks
The SCE Field Area Network is a private 5G wireless network tailored for the utility. With the vision of the coverage and performance needed to operate a modern grid, SCE FAN came online in November 2024. Through Distribution Automation and DER integration it will seamlessly manage the injection of green energy sources and help manage the projected growth in electrical demand. This session overviews the business case, network design, and strategic value.

Analyzing Utilities 6 GHz Microwave Networks to WIFI Interference
Thursday, June 19 | 10:50-11:10 AM
Speaker: Pat Picquet, Solution Manager Mobile Networks
The landscape of our network infrastructure has been fundamentally altered following the FCC's decision in 2020 to allow unlicensed devices to operate in the 5.925-7.125 GHz (6 GHz) bands.  Learn about risks posed by the FCC approving the use of unlicensed devices in the 5.925-7.125 GHz (6 GHz) bands, the methodology to analyze the impacts on SCE’s microwave network, and what this means for utility operators and the industry.
