Technology is deployed to align with smart city goals for improved mobility, safety, environmental, and economic drivers.
Networks are built to support utility performance requirements and designed to be reliable and resilient for energy infrastructure.
Energy technology advancements can be utilized to help improve safety in potentially hazardous oil or gas environments.
EFFICIENCY
A digital transformation in the energy industry is possible by optimizing grid operations through the capture of data in real-time. Utilities can also capture meter data faster for more timely and accurate billing through new programs such as prepay solutions that help utilities avoid non-payment and improve cashflow.
As utilities add more wireless connected devices, they need to minimize the number of networks they’re currently supporting for their energy infrastructure. T-Mobile 5G and LTE technologies enable the transition from multiple networks to one multi-service network platform.
5G and LTE offer broadband, narrowband, low latency, security, enhanced reliability, dense connections and the other performance features required by current and future utility smart grid use cases.
Our network allows energy companies to efficiently handle a large number of end points such as parking sensors, air quality sensors, smart meters, and lighting control devices.
By capturing energy data in real time, energy companies can be more cost effective and find ways to provide power without building expensive plants to meet demand.
Utility companies are transitioning to multi-access edge computing to power smart grids and reduce latency, increase bandwidth, enhance security, and build greater resiliency into operations.
For energy providers, choosing between 5G or Wi-Fi 6 doesn’t have to be an binary decision. However, in some cases, 5G can improve connectivity, security, and resilience at a comparable cost to Wi-Fi 6.
As the energy industry moves toward renewables, providers can use computer vision and 5G to enhance operations and address key priorities, such as grid resilience and climate impact.

Private networks powered by 5G technology enable energy providers to meet growing customer demand more effectively. In this blog, read about the five key ways private networks are transforming the energy industry.
By connecting field workers with office staff, companies can more quickly capture, share, and react to data in real-time to unlock new levels of operating efficiency, worker effectiveness, and overall business productivity.
Distributed energy resources (DERs) are playing a critical role in helping to meet the growing demand for electricity, while smart technologies are helping to balance utility-generated variable energy resources. Managing these innovations requires a smart, and flexible, utility power grid.
Improving your utility grid doesn’t necessarily mean a costly upgrade to modify your infrastructure. Learn how partitioning your physical network into multiple virtual networks via software-defined network slicing architecture allows you to customize your network and scale your business.
RELIABILITY
You can count on reliable connectivity across extensive service areas include remote rural locations and in challenging environments such as office building, basements, and other structures.
A T-Mobile 5G network solution for energy enterprises can provide more bandwidth, lower latency, and much higher reliability than ever before with required redundancy.
Low latency allows utilities to better manage in near real-time issues such as faults/outage detection for better load balancing, improved safety, and provide a better customer experience.
Accurate, real-time data insights help drive performance, so field management can ensure workers are in the right place, at the right time. Using connected devices, such as drones over 5G and LTE, energy companies can reduce inspection times, lower costs, and improve worker safety.
