Transmission market booming, continued growth expected

When IEDs are deployed, utility firms have to ensure that they integrate and align with legacy systems properly, otherwise many of the advantages to investing in these new technologies will be lost. This requires companies to invest in high-quality serial to Ethernet converter solutions in order to ensure the transmission of data and power from new systems into old seamlessly, with minimal latency. These efforts will boost overall system optimization and deliver improved service across the board.

Without new technologies in place to streamline power management and transmission, firms will see a sharp decline in service and profits. This makes investing in smart grid solutions and the related hardware to marry new systems to old ones essential not just to improve service, but survive as consumers come to expect support for new trends such as sustainable, renewable and cleaner energy.
