Better Wireless for Utility Workers: A New Team Effort
Getac and Anterix are working together to bring better wireless service to utility workers. This partnership helps people who fix power lines and water pipes stay connected. They use a special type of private LTE network. This network is different from the one on your cell phone because it is more secure and reliable.
Getac’s tough laptops and tablets now have special “badges.” These badges show they work perfectly on Anterix’s 900 MHz network. This spectrum is perfect for sending data over long distances and through buildings. Because the network is private, it stays working even when public networks are busy or down.
This technology is very important for workers in remote or dangerous places. It helps them see real-time maps and data to do their jobs safely. By using these new tools, utility companies can modernize their systems. This makes the power grid stronger and helps prevent long outages for everyone.
