Implementing Nanogrid into the Critical Facility

Operators are looking at introducing nanogrid architectures into critical facilities to maintain reliability in the face of increased thermal loading and to eliminate points of failure. Nanogrid architectures will further enable the use of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as wind or solar to supplement utility power, allowing operators to realize additional cost benefits by avoiding peak usage utility rates or selling power back to the grid.

Powering PON with conventional cable broadband equipment

Billions of dollars of public funding are being allocated to expand high speed broadband connectivity into unserved or underserved parts of the rural US and Canada. One of the most common methods for expanding the network is through passive optical networks (PON). PON remote optical line terminals (R-OLTs) – located in remote service areas – distribute fiber connections for homes and businesses.
