Why it matters
Utility communications must remain available when operations are under pressure.
Power, water and gas operators depend on voice communications every day. During storms, outages, plant events or cyber incidents, teams need reliable ways to coordinate. M5 helps utilities secure voice networks, reduce exposure at the SIP edge and modernize aging systems without disrupting critical operations.

FAQ
Utility communications security questions.
How does M5 help utilities secure voice communications?
M5 helps protect SIP trunks, voice interconnections, legacy endpoints and operational communications using SBCs, media gateways and secure voice architecture.
Can M5 support analog phones, alarms and fax lines?
Yes. M5 media gateways can help preserve analog phones, alarms, fax, emergency phones, elevator lines and other legacy systems during modernization.
Why do utilities need Session Border Controllers?
SBCs help protect the voice edge, control external interconnections, improve SIP security and reduce exposure between utility networks and public or carrier networks.
Can this improve communications during outages?
Yes. M5 solutions can support local survivability, failover paths, gateway continuity and hybrid designs to help maintain communications during disruption.
