This is particularly important in emergencies or disasters, where reliable connectivity can provide first responders with the data necessary to protect lives and property.

The 450 MHz frequency helps address this critical connectivity need by providing wider reach at a reasonable cost. Global utilities and industrial players need more resilient and flexible communication networks as they transition to a decentralized, digitalized and decarbonized operating model. As natural disasters and cyber threats increase, wireless communication solutions on 450 MHz will play a vital role in ensuring reliable connectivity for customers’ mission-critical applications.Īs a leading provider of power grid and mission-critical industrial solutions, Hitachi ABB Power Grids wants to support the ecosystem and help promote its use in industrial and utility communications. ZURICH, 24 June, 2021 – Hitachi ABB Power Grids has joined the 450 MHz Alliance which brings together carriers spectrum owners and equipment, terminal and solution vendors to drive development of mobile networks in the 450 MHz frequency band.
