Скачать или смотреть Connected Energy Networks Demonstration Overview: Field Area Network (FAN)

Technical Marketing Engineer, Marty Collins, provides an overview for a series of demonstrations that highlight Cisco's solutions for the Field Area Network from the Connected Energy Networks Business Unit.

The Cisco Field Area Network (FAN) solution brings the first multiservice communications infrastructure to the utility field area network. It delivers applications such as Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI), Distribution Automation, and Protection and Control over a common network platform.

Discussed in this video are the 3 functional tiers of the system listed below:
1. Control Center/NOC tier - where utility applications are hosted
2. Wide Area Network tier - which provides the backhaul of communications from the field to the Control Center
3. Neighborhood Area Network tier - where endpoints like smart meters are connected via Radio Frequency

Cisco's Field Area Network Partner ITRON and their OpenWay AMI solution which allows the operator to perform many smart meter operational functions remotely from the control center is also discussed in this video overview.
