Three of the Cisco Connected Utilities solutions are: Connected Mobile Field, Connected AMI, and Connected Distribution Automation. Which option is the fourthsolution?

Question

Options

• AConnected Roadways
• BConnected Vehicle
• CConnected Substation
• DConnected Alternative Energy

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  6% (2)
• C
  89% (32)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Connected Substation (C) is correct because Cisco's Connected Utilities portfolio is built around four pillars of utility grid operations: Connected Mobile Field, Connected AMI, Connected Distribution Automation, and Connected Substation - each addressing a distinct layer of utility network management from field workers to metering to grid control to substation infrastructure.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Connected Roadways belongs to Cisco's transportation/smart city vertical, not utilities.
• B. Connected Vehicle is part of Cisco's automotive and transportation solutions portfolio, unrelated to power utilities.
• D. Connected Alternative Energy is not a named solution in Cisco's Connected Utilities framework; renewable integration is handled within the existing four pillars.

Memory tip: Think of the physical journey of electricity - it flows from a substation, through distribution lines (Distribution Automation), into smart meters (AMI), and is managed by mobile field workers. The substation is the logical starting point Cisco couldn't leave unconnected.
