How 5G Is Making the Smart Grid Actually Smart

What this episode covers

Smart grid talk has been around for a decade, but 5G is finally turning promise into reality. In this episode, Lucas and Luna look at how one midwestern utility, Duke Energy, is using 5G network slicing to monitor thousands of substations in near-real time, cutting outage response from hours to minutes. They walk through the technical shift from 4G LTE to 5G standalone cores, the role of distributed antennas at power poles, and why the biggest bottleneck isn't the network—it's the outdated transformers themselves. A grounded look at how wireless infrastructure is quietly rewiring the energy industry. #5G #SmartGrid #DukeEnergy #NetworkSlicing #EnergyIndustry #UtilityInfrastructure #WirelessNetworks #MobileInfrastructure #Technology #IoT #GridModernization #OutageResponse #DigitalTwins #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #5GPodcast #Telecom #EnergyTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
