The smart grid — the plan to revamp the U.S. electrical grid into a more efficient and optimized system for managing and delivering power — is also a key opportunity on which Cisco aims to capitalize. Cisco has previously stated that it sees billions of dollars of opportunity in helping to provide smart grid technology for utilities and others.
During Cisco’s most recent quarter, the company rolled out its Smart Connected Buildings technology. It’s a strategy that involves connecting building systems together so they can be controlled and managed for power utilization and efficiency.
“Cisco will lead in defining the end-to-end architecture that will enable our vision of securely managing energy on electrical grids all the way from the generation to consumption in homes and buildings,” Chambers said.
