NPPD Telecommunications Engineers and Nokia will discuss their plans to design a robust and flexible system to provide disparate services at “OT" Facilities (Transmission/Distribution Substations, Communication Infrastructure Sites). Their goals included leveraging both private and public transport services, reducing equipment footprints, eliminating technical debt, providing redundant uplink connections, and scalability. Topics and technology that will be touched in this discussion include MPLS, traffic encryption (Nokia NGE), OT Interfaces (DNP3oE SCADA, RS232, VOIP), and security/compliance. We look forward to discussing these and other OT Network challenges with other utilities and associate members.
