12/7/2010 What is SmartGrid? AT&T and Smart Grid Smart Grid is a vision for a digital upgrade of distribution and transmission grids to both optimize operations, as well as open up new markets for alternative energy. Benefits also include the ability to reduce power consumption; and eliminating or containing grid failures; thus save consumers money and help reduce CO2 emissions.

Commercial Providers: • Scalable, Broad and Affordable Coverage Can commercial communications providers effectively and economically provide the services that utilities need to power their Smart Grid communications?

All rights reserved. • Highly cost-competitive with purpose-built networks. • Already cover almost 98% of population. • Providers continually building out and scaling network over time. • Fill remaining holes faster than building a new network. network • Satellite service available to fill in holes. • Data management, storage, computing & analytics. • Migration path from HSPA 7.2 to LTE, into 2011 • Added Bonus: Business case for deployment of broadband to unserved areas.

Commercial Providers: • Commercial networks support almost endless variety of devices and applications. Network Capacity: If every gas, water and electric meter in the U.S. transmitted at 15-minute intervals, it would increase commercial wireless traffic less than 2/1000th of one percent. • Facilitate communication across various platforms. Efficient Use of Spectrum: • Secure and Reliable – Paramount concern for interconnected networks • State-of-the-art security operation; daily support for nearly 21 Petabytes of IP data traffic. • Experience and expertise; see security threats emerging, before they cause harm. • Emergency Priority Service. • Extensive disaster recovery assets already in place.

All rights reserved. • Wireless providers have purchased spectrum on open market and have incentive to use it as efficiently as possible. • Balkanized or government-directed spectrum use reduces efficiency. • Utilities have not been motivated to participate in spectrum auctions.

Policy Statements in FCC National Broadband Plan • Examine reliability and resiliency of commercial broadband networks • Reduce impediments to utility use of commercial services • Clarify application of NERC-CIP requirements • Consider legislation to allow utilities to use 700 MHz spectrum • Identify new uses for federal spectrum • Study communications requirements of utilities Page 9 © 2008 AT&T Intellectual Property.
