The Resilient Edge: Next-Generation IoT Technologies for Grid Fortification

As smart meters, automated reclosers, distributed energy resources (DERs) and other endpoints push intelligence to the very edge of the power grid, connectivity failure becomes operational failure. Ensuring the continuity of critical telemetry requires a radical shift in how utilities manage field connectivity.

Join this session to see how Verizon is developing advanced IoT capabilities—eSIM, 5G Slicing, and Direct-to-Device Satellite (NTN)—into a unified grid defense strategy. We will break down how to design for continuous, prioritized network access for life-safety and control systems, how hybrid terrestrial-satellite fallbacks eliminate coverage dead zones, and how managed eUICC profiles safeguard asset lifecycle management. Turn your utility endpoint architecture into a resilient, future-proof asset built for the next generation of power delivery.
