AT&T Finally Jumps Into the Smart Grid Pool

Finally! AT&T jumps on Smart Grid bandwagon. The telecom giant just announced it is working with SmartSynch, maker of communications modules and networks for smart meters. Until recently, AT&T had been willing to take utilities’ money if they wanted to use its cellular system for communications; but it could never be bothered to work out special technology or special pricing for residential metering. By teaming with SmartSynch, AT&T gets access to some of the electric power industry’s top communications talent. For its part, SmartSynch gets access to a much larger, more robust and less expensive network than the paging and satellite systems it had often used in the past.

Quick Take: This is very good news for the industry and for utilities. It is absolutely essential that we learn safe, secure ways to share communications infrastructure. As a country and as an industry, we cannot afford to build out a separate, high-bandwidth communications system dedicated solely to the smart grid. With AT&T taking Smart Grid seriously, we can hope for some competition from other big carriers – and that could ultimately save many tens of millions in network infrastructure and maintenance costs.
