Do cellular networks maintain security protocols strong enough to protect the integrity of the smart grid?
Yes. Commercial network providers spend billions of dollars annually to maintain secure networks and the same layer of fortification being used to secure MLGW smart meters is protecting millions of daily financial transactions, military data transmissions and even the e-mail on President Obamas Blackberry. The level of security being deployed by the commercial carriers far exceeds National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requirements and is constantly improving as the ecosystem of vendors supporting the billions of devices on commercial carrier networks continually enhance security protocols.
