The utility sector is no stranger to transformation. From the early days of the electricity industry to the modern era of renewable energy, utilities have constantly adapted to meet the changing needs of society. However, the rapid pace of technological change in recent years has presented new challenges and opportunities for utilities.

Mobile offices are increasingly becoming a necessity for many industries, especially for those that require fieldwork. This includes law enforcement, field services, and mobile medical clinics. However, working in these conditions can be quite challenging. The environment can be harsh, with dust, water, and extreme temperatures being a few of the obstacles to overcome. Regular laptops are not suitable for such situations, as they are fragile and cannot withstand the rough conditions.

A microgrid is a small-scale, local energy system that can disconnect from the traditional utility grid and operate independently. It can function as a sophisticated backup power system during grid repairs or other events that cause extensive power outages because of its independence and capacity to continue operating on its own. A microgrid is far more resilient to storms and other natural calamities because there is no significant infrastructure to maintain or replace.

Highly distributed renewable energy sources like wind, solar, geothermal, and even hydrogen cells are replacing the era of enormously centralized energy sources. Coal, gas, and nuclear energy generation from centralized sources are all controlled by single, sizable organizations that distribute electricity. Yet, in order to handle thousands of separate energy-producing units and to more quickly coordinate their output, maintenance, and reporting than conventional power generation systems, distributed energy resources (DERs) need to be managed in new ways. Overall, this means an increase in operational efficiency on the part of energy companies.
