Zimbabwe-based Power Company selects Matrix to optimize communication between Substations

Designed to be highly scalable, reliable, secure and flexible, these solutions help reduce costs and simplify management.

Power transmission companies usually have power stations and substations located in the remote locations which make it difficult and rather costly to set up a communication network over the fiber and cables. The electricity distribution company, hence, uses the existing electric wiring as network cables to carry data signals and extend the communication network into new places without adding more wires. The entire arrangement not only saves a huge overhead as far as the cabling cost is concerned but also constructs a private secured communication network between the utilities.

In one of the installation cases done recently with a power transmission and distribution company in Zimbabwe, the basic requirement was the need for a communication web in the company. Unlike the conventional requirements, necessity was to establish a hotline for instant and secured communication. The medium of exchange was the three-phase electric supply over the power lines. The company understood the importance of continuous communications, and hence, was looking for a solution that supported calling activities even if one of the power supply or CPU units was down. An ideal solution the company was hunting for was to interface an EPABX with the power lines to facilitate communication and configure the network as per their requirement. The owners weighed all solutions available in the market on the parameters of ruggedness, reliability and performance, and decided to invest in Matrix Telecom solutions after judging the system deliverables in different conditions.

A brief overview of the case is as follows:

Continuous Communication

Convenient Dialing Patterns
