Chris Clark - Senior Enterprise Account Executive, Critical Infrastructure
I’ve been with Motorola Solutions for over 25 years and would love to show you how Motorola Solutions is taking utilities like yours beyond radio. Secure your substations, assets, and facilities through our integrated ecosystem that connects voice communications, video security, and private broadband on a single platform. Let me demonstrate how this industry-leading technology can revolutionize your operations to create more efficient and secure facilities.
Power outages have more than doubled over the last decade across the United States and continue to climb. The causes of these incidents range from cybercrime to physical attacks, and operational outages to natural disasters. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the majority of states are reporting longer outages when the grid does fail. Regardless of the cause, these blackouts often cripple broad segments of the nation’s aging electrical grid.
All the while power grid maintenance expenses are skyrocketing as utilities upgrade decades-old transmission lines and equipment. And that means customers who are hit with more frequent and longer outages also are paying more for electricity.
Motorola Solutions has a suite of solutions to help your facilities stay connected in the moments that matter.

FREE PLAYBOOK: SUBSTATIONS ARE UNDER ATTACK
Utilities need to conduct a thorough assessment of all their substations to begin developing strategies to protect them from physical and cyberattacks. When Motorola Solutions’ Wantuck works with utilities, he encourages on-site visits once utilities prioritize substation importance. “We’ll start doing site walks with them. We’ll identify what they feel is really at risk,” Wantuck said. “And then we’ll work with them to start designing the right solution.”
