Energy Solutions
The next generation architecture for the Smart Grid must provide a long term, highly reliable communications infrastructure.
An interactive flow of data at every node will optimize decisions made by both utilities and consumers about energy delivery and usage. But Smart Grid efficiencies are elusive without a smart wireless network partner on the team. Velocita is a unique network carrier...one-of-a-kind actually. We operate a nationwide, data-only wireless platform, uniquely designed to enable the evolving smart grid paradigm, driving transformational change in how we live, work and communicate.
| [The] long term vision is to transform the operation of its electric power grid by creating a reliable and scalable networked infrastructure capable of delivering and receiving information from intelligent devices distributed across its power systems, automating components of the distribution systems and leveraging the linked networks for improved operational efficiencies and customer satisfaction. - Duke Energy |
The New Smart Grid Paradigm
Here's what we hear utilities telling us they need in today's energy environment:
- a private, wireless network for complete infrastructure security and supply reliability
- access to the NOC for total visibility
- 100% coverage
- 2-way communication so information and interaction can take place along every node, providing network-wide intelligence
This is what they've told us they don't want - the headache and the headcount that comes with managing a network. And they would prefer to avoid using a public broadband network focused on high-revenue consumer applications that are voice and media intensive and relegate their traffic to a second class status.

Velocita's Network-On-Demand Communication Platform
Velocita's wireless communication platform will transform how energy companies do business. Our open standard network topology provides a level of transparency and coverage that has previously only been associated with the private network model. It is fully scalable not only for today's smart grid investments, but will support Smart Grid requirements far into the future.
- 100% coverage, fully licensed in all 50 states, with expanded coverage to match utility service areas
- Always on, instant accessLow latency, streamlined data packets
- Our narrowband spectrum is data-only...we've been running command-and-control applications for over a decade
- Katrina-ready, fully redundant, the only network nationwide with dual path backhaul from every site
- Leveraging the powerful combination of network ownership and a long term commitment to narrowband, we can guarantee a 15 year + obsolescence window
Velocita combines the benefits of a large, nationwide wireless carrier with the control, security and transparency of a private network, individually tailored to each utility's needs.
