[Station R] Zaphiro Technologies and Ericsson partner to demonstrate Smart Solutions over 5G dor electric utilities

Sustainability is very important for Zaphiro Technologies. Preventing bush fires to take place, or wildlife to be at risk, represent a significant contribution to increase our planet’s sustainability, preventing damages from falling conductors. 
          
Zaphiro Technologies, a Swiss company specialized in #smartgrid monitoring and control, and Ericsson, a global leader in #5G technology, are collaborating to demonstrate innovative solutions for the electric utility industry.  
  
This collaboration will combine Zaphiro’s technology of #synchrophasors and phasor measurement units (#PMU), used in medium voltage #distributionnetworks, with Ericsson 4G and #5G Mission Critical Networks solution, providing together real-time situational awareness of the power system dynamics, enabling advanced protection and control schemes, therefore detecting and locating faults faster than traditional distribution protection schemes.  
Ericsson‘s #5G technology provides high-speed, low-latency and reliable wireless communication, enhancing the performance and scalability of synchrophasor-based solutions by enabling faster data transmission, wider coverage and better security for electrical power grids.  
 
Together, Zaphiro and Ericsson demonstrate the reduced threat of wildfire with 5G and power grid innovations, leveraging on their complementary expertise and technologies. The joint innovative solution can improve grid reliability, efficiency, and resilience greatly.
