The dawn of 5G networks foretells lightning-fast communication and vast connectivity that will catapult digitization across industries, enable breakthrough services, and unlock substantial economic opportunities. The next wave of digital electricity—smart grids that monitor and automatically adjust power—promises optimized operations, improved reliability, and cleaner energy. In transportation, we’ll experience a new mobility that connects riders and drivers to a network of sustainable, cost-efficient travel and transport options for people and goods. Our communities are making digital connections, too. On a shared platform, leaders and citizens are building the digital future together. All of this is happening now, and digital infrastructure and technologies are converging to form a new ecosystem. As a technology integrator, Black & Veatch designs, builds, and connects communication networks and digital infrastructure to evolve energy, transportation, community, and business capabilities. We wield connectivity like a pen to help carriers, electric utilities, fleet owners, city leaders and private enterprises rewrite business models and operations to create new value streams and gain efficiencies. Black & Veatch is known for turnkey Information and Communications Technology (ICT) solutions, including wireless, wireline and IP networks. We provide information and operational technology (IT and OT) systems used for secure information sharing, monitoring and control, and data analytics.

Smarter, more connected cities represent a step into the future, and Black & Veatch was tapped to participate in a digital connectivity program in Sacramento, California, that would help make this vision a reality. Bleutech Park Bleutech Park is a first-of-its-kind planned mixed-use development, that will feature workforce housing, offices, retail space, a state-of-the-art entertainment tower, a luxury hotel and luxury residences, all built upon a technologically integrated site that aspires to be 100-percent grid independent. Small Cells, Big Connectivity Major wireless carriers and infrastructure providers are deploying small cells to meet the demand for faster delivery of more data and video. Most of the time, hundreds to thousands of nodes are deployed at once, in addition to a fiber backhaul network, to achieve desired coverage, capacity, and signal propagation. These programs are complex and can involve hundreds of staff, high-volumes of materials, and many concurrent deployment sites across the country. Smart, Connected Roadways Like many agencies, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) wanted to innovate. But, their existing microwave network had limited capacity, and couldn’t support the value- added safety and mobility applications that PTC required. PTC launched an advanced fiber optic network project to boost connectivity between their administrative buildings, as well as support All-Electronic Tolling (AET) and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for improved safety and mobility. With the bandwidth provided by the fiber optic network, PTC will be able to install automated tolling to support future autonomous vehicle traffic on the turnpike.

With the ability to combine digital and physical infrastructure – and empower today’s roadways with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies – tomorrow’s roadways will push beyond the limits of what was once thought possible to become true platforms of innovation.
