Ribbon Communications Expands Leading Portfolio in Critical Infrastructure Solutions
Ribbon Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: RBBN), a notable player in real-time communication technology, has announced a significant enhancement to its portfolio dedicated to critical infrastructure solutions. This expansion aims to assist utility companies in modernizing their increasingly complex operational networks while ensuring reliability, security, and deterministic performance essential for their crucial services.
The pressure on utility organizations to modernize their networks is mounting, especially with the integration of decentralized energy sources, improving reliability, and strengthening cybersecurity. To meet these demands, the necessity for communication networks that can support both current operational technologies and next-generation digital applications is paramount.
Ribbon's portfolio for critical infrastructures is designed to help utility companies evolve securely and at their own pace, thereby ensuring business continuity and protecting mission-critical services. Sam Bucci, EVP and COO of Ribbon, emphasized the need for utilities to upgrade their networks, enhance their cyber-resilience, and support digital network initiatives without hampering their core operations. He stated, "Our extended portfolio allows them to bridge the requirements of legacy systems with next-generation demands on a single, advanced platform."
The newly launched models, NPT 1022M and NPT 2104, build upon the proven capabilities of existing platforms like the NPT 1012D and NPT 2714. These advancements, combined with Ribbon's IP-rNOS routing software, optical networking products, and the Muse Multilayer Automation Platform (MAP), strengthen Ribbon's ability to support converged IT/OT communications networks. These networks are essential for the modern operations of utility providers.
Ribbon’s solutions are specifically tailored to meet the high demands of modernizing utility networks, featuring teleprotection, SCADA, operational voice communication, uninterrupted OT operation, deterministic packet transport (MPLS-TP, SR-TE), scalable IP/MPLS networks, and Class-D time control for accurate frequency and time synchronization across networks.
These capabilities empower utility companies to implement advanced monitoring, automation, and video solutions, as well as manage decentralized energy sources and Smart Grid analytics, all while modernizing their communication infrastructure without interrupting ongoing operations.
Significant features of Ribbon's solutions include:
- - Muse: A robust, infrastructure-focused automation and AI-enabled platform that simplifies deployment, operations, and management.
- - Advanced circuit emulation for 64 kbit/s PCM services alongside modern 100 GbE and 400 GbE interfaces.
- - Integrated quantum-safe security and MACsec.
- - Compliance with IEC 61850 and certification under IEEE 1613 Class B.
- - Fully integrated IPoDWDM.
Bucci highlighted that these innovations provide utility companies transitioning from TDM to IP-MPLS and segment routing architectures a solid foundation, ensuring the reliability and performance that their operations depend on. He further noted that these capabilities allow utilities to operate both existing and modern services on a shared architecture while maintaining business continuity.
