ELFEC modernize grid communications building utility-grade transport backbone and mission-critical IP/MPLS network

“Substation reliability has been dramatically improved since deploying the IP/MPLS network. With the deployment of the Nokia 7705 SAR in each substation, we are running a redundant IP/MPLS ring that supports tele protection using the IEEE C37.94 standard. The redundancy in the fiber ring is a lifesaver in case of a problem or failure on the OPGW fiber main circuit. By improving our communications reliability, we also improved our response time and reliability indicators for the grid.”
