Technology Category	Networks & Connectivity - Cellular
Applicable Industries	Utilities
Applicable Functions	Business Operation
Use Cases	Energy Management System Infrastructure Inspection
Services	System Integration Testing & Certification
Challenge	The energy company was planning to implement a private LTE (P-LTE) network to consolidate communication services, take advantage of LTE technology standardization, support key services, and leverage LTE radios that can propagate much longer distances than 5G mm wave radios. The company's internal IT team had been using the NETSCOUT nGenius solutions to manage network and application performance for its network services, including Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) among several services. The company's next major network transformation was to implement their own private LTE (Long-term evolution) network. The IT team decided to work with the NETSCOUT team to develop a migration strategy and performance monitoring plan to ensure the visibility for a successful transformation to their private LTE environment.

About Customer	The customer is a leading U.S. utility company that powers one of the country’s most-populated regions. They support not only residents and businesses, but also first responders and hospitals tasked with ensuring the safety of the regional population. They count some of the country’s largest and most prestigious universities, hotels, and sports/entertainment venues as some of their customers as well. Delivering mission-critical utility services requires the collective expertise of more than 10,000 employees. For years, the company’s internal information technology (IT) team has used the NETSCOUT nGenius solutions to help manage network and application performance for its network services, including Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) among several services, to help maintain the quality and availability of critical utility applications.

Solution	The company's IT team selected NETSCOUT’s proven propagation modeling offering to assist in constructing their design plan for their RAN implementation specifically because it is based on thousands of tests in conceivable environments. The energy company will benefit longterm working with NETSCOUT for service assurance across the new environment as the nGeniusONE solutions provide continuous visibility to the P-LTE network and displays the performance of critical SCADA apps running on the network including FLISR, VVO, DR, AMI, and LTE interworking with legacy land mobile radio (LMR).
