Smart Utility Transformation: An Outcome‑Led Approach for Modern Utilities

Utilities today are redefining themselves. No longer focused only on infrastructure, they are becoming digital, data‑driven smart utilities—organizations that use connected technologies to deliver safer operations, better customer experiences, and more efficient grid performance.

Trilliant enables this evolution through an outcome-led transformation framework, aligned to three of the most critical modernization programs: Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Distribution Automation (DA), and Utility IoT.

 

Why Smart Utilities Are Transforming Now

Utilities are under increasing pressure to modernize, driven by:

  • Reliability and resiliency expectations
  • DER integration and grid flexibility needs
  • Customer demand for transparency and digital engagement
  • Regulatory incentives for modernization and decarbonization
  • Operational efficiency and workforce optimization

Smart utilities solve these challenges by shifting from disconnected systems to a unified, scalable communications and data platform. Trilliant delivers that foundation.

Utility Transformation Programs

1. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)

Achieve complete visibility, improved billing accuracy, and real operational intelligence.

Modern AMI is no longer just meter reading. Smart utilities use AMI to deliver outcomes such as:

  • Reduced truck rolls and operational costs
  • Faster outage detection and restoration
  • Pre‑pay, time‑of‑use, and customer engagement programs
  • Real-time grid load visibility
  • Secure, interoperable connectivity for millions of endpoints
Trilliant AMI Advantage
  • Multi‑technology, multi‑vendor flexibility
  • Proven scalability for dense urban and rural environments
  • Highly reliable, low-latency communications
  • Secure by design, with full network segmentation

2. Distribution Automation (DA)

Improve resiliency, reduce outage durations, and automate grid operations.

Distribution networks are becoming dynamic and increasingly complex. Smart utilities deploy DA to:

  • Automatically isolate and restore faults
  • Enhance power quality and voltage optimization
  • Support DERs, EVs, and bi-directional energy flows
  • Monitor real-time grid conditions with precision
Trilliant DA Advantage
  • High-performance, low-latency network built for mission‑critical operations
  • Seamless integration of reclosers, switches, sensors, and regulators
  • Scalability and security for utility-grade automation
  • Flexible architecture that supports legacy and modern field devices

3. Utility IoT

Unify diverse devices and sensors under one secure, scalable platform.

Smart utilities rely on IoT to unlock data that was previously unreachable. Utility IoT delivers:

  • Remote monitoring of critical assets
  • Smart street lighting and municipal applications
  • Grid edge intelligence and predictive maintenance
  • Enhanced safety for crews and customers
Trilliant Utility IoT Advantage
  • Open standards and partner-friendly ecosystem
  • Support for millions of low-power IoT devices
  • A single platform for multiple use cases and applications
  • End-to-end security and dependable field performance

A Platform Purpose‑Built for Smart Utility Outcomes

Trilliant provides a future‑ready communications platform that supports AMI, DA, and Utility IoT on one network. Utilities gain:

  • Interoperability across vendors and technologies
  • Scalable architecture built for today and tomorrow
  • Analytics-ready data for smarter decisions
  • Lower total cost of ownership through multi-use networks
  • Secure, hardened communications for all critical endpoints

Where Utilities See Themselves—And What’s Next

Smart utilities are evolving toward:

  • Digital-first operations
  • Self-healing, automated grids
  • Grid-edge intelligence
  • Customer-centric programs enabled by real-time data
  • Decarbonization supported by flexible, responsive networks

Trilliant accelerates that journey with a platform trusted by leading utilities worldwide.
