Buying trigger
Grid modernization, secure remote access, or circuit-resilience programs need consistent control across substations, field assets, cloud services, and legacy infrastructure.
21Packets for utilities
Secure, resilient connectivity across the modern grid
Connect substations, control environments, cloud systems, field operations, and the expanding utility edge through a machine-validated network fabric.
Operational use cases
Protect the service paths behind grid operations.
Treat each control, telemetry, and field-access flow as an explicit service relationship with its own participating identities, trust boundaries, and continuity policy.
Critical workflow
Maintain approved control and telemetry paths between substations, control centers, field operations, and cloud services during a circuit event.
Substation continuity
Preserve protected service relationships when circuits degrade or regional paths become congested.
View BriefingSmart grid edge
Connect distributed sensors, gateways, and field systems through identity-bound software endpoints.
View BriefingControl-system segmentation
Enforce least-privilege connectivity around applications, workloads, and network segments.
View BriefingGrid operations telemetry
Correlate network health, bandwidth, events, and operational context across fabric-connected utility environments.

A governed grid of control, telemetry, and field access
Utilities depend on distributed communications across legacy systems, modern sensors, control environments, and cloud services. 21Packets applies consistent identity, segmentation, routing, and lifecycle policy across that changing estate.
- Keep control and telemetry services explicit across grid zones
- Validate edge participation before distributing route or policy state
- Transition approved traffic around a degraded regional circuit
Grid service continuity across zoned infrastructure
Substations, distributed resources, field access, and cloud analytics remain governed as a regional circuit degrades.
Operating model
Validate, segment, reroute, and observe the grid edge.
01
Validate
Confirm identity, authorization, and machine state before a grid-connected Endlet participates.
02
Zone
Define least-privilege service relationships between control, telemetry, field, enterprise, and cloud environments.
03
Reroute
Transition approved traffic around a degraded circuit while preserving its logical service relationship.
04
Observe
Aggregate path health, availability, events, and operational context across the connected estate.
Evaluation priorities
Control across legacy and modern grid infrastructure.
Continuity through circuit events
Slip-Routing and DEFT transition protected traffic across healthier policy-approved paths.
Controlled edge participation
Every Endlet must establish identity and satisfy authorization and machine-validation requirements.
Protected infrastructure context
Network abstraction reduces exposure of internal topology and service relationships across untrusted transit.
Architecture review
Questions to bring into the evaluation.
Can one fabric span substations, control centers, field operations, and cloud services?
Yes. Route Endlets can participate across branch, data-center, cloud, provider-edge, and approved industrial environments under one identity, policy, and lifecycle model.
How are grid service relationships limited between zones?
Granular microsegmentation creates identity-centric boundaries and applies least-privilege connectivity regardless of physical location.
What happens to an approved service during a regional circuit event?
The fabric evaluates path health and can transition traffic to a healthy, policy-approved alternative while DEFT preserves the logical service relationship.
How is participation revoked from a distributed grid asset?
EdgeControl coordinates lifecycle actions including re-attestation, replacement, retirement, and revocation while maintaining authoritative fleet state.
Review a grid service path
Review one substation-to-control-center service path and its failover policy.
Bring the participating zones, circuits, and operational dependencies. We’ll map identity, segmentation, path continuity, and telemetry across the service relationship.
