Utility Applications and Network Survey. About: Wireless solutions deployment estimates.

Over the next seven years (present - 2030), please identify the total number of wireless endpoint solutions planned for future deployment, for the corresponding 'Functionality' category. If a specific number is not available please submit an estimate.

Based on the estimate of total wireless endpoint solutions planned for future deployment, what are your estimates for the deployment time frame of those devices, listed below?

Note: "Future Deployment" directly pertains to the present (2023) - 2030.

Private Network Solutions

Instructions: Please indicate your company's spectrum band frequency usage for present and future operations by checking the appropriate boxes. If a spectrum band frequency is not listed, please add to the 'comments' box located at the bottom of the page.

For your operations, which 3GPP frequencies are used by your company, planned to be used or interested in learning about more?

*UTC and entities supporting this survey will keep individual responses confidential. UTC will release

only aggregated information in which neither individuals nor companies participating will be

identified. Only aggregated survey information will be released.
