Reliable network communications help operators meet these demands.
They enable teams to monitor grid conditions, control equipment remotely and make better use of existing capacity.
At Enlit Europe 2026, Cisco will showcase live architectures based on real-world implementations across three areas of grid modernisation, from field cabinets to control centres.
Built-in firewall capability helps protect field communications without a separate appliance, reducing the space, power and maintenance requirements.
For field networks, you can manage IR1000 with Cisco Field Network Director, which helps teams deploy, configure, monitor and troubleshoot thousands of connections.
