The SCE Field Area Network is a private 5G wireless network tailored for the utility. With the vision of the coverage and performance needed to operate a modern grid, SCE FAN came online in November 2024. Through Distribution Automation and DER integration it will seamlessly manage the injection of green energy sources and help manage the projected growth in electrical demand.
