Telecommunications Master Planning: While new technologies and applications, such as the Smart Grid, create new opportunities for better monitoring, performance and system integration, they can also bring added demands on scarce network resources.

Our Cyber Security solutions not only address data and application security, but also the broader range of physical security requirements mandated by the NERC CIP standards.
Wide Area Networking: Today’s utility enterprise requires a high-capacity network to support and interconnect service areas. A wide area network is typically made up of a variety of technologies including wireless, microwave, fiber optics and leased carrier circuits. Black & Veatch is familiar with them all and has the deployment expertise to implement the solutions that best meet our clients’ needs.
