Verizon Business announced today a partnership with GE Vernova to bring the MDS Orbit platform to utility customers. The GE Vernova MDS Orbit is an industrial wireless solution that secures and protects utility networks and assets, and it is now available on Verizon’s award‑winning network. The collaboration positions Verizon as a key enabler of digital transformation for the electric grid.
The MDS Orbit platform delivers a resilient, intelligent, and secure communications backbone for SCADA, automation, and other critical utility applications. By integrating with Verizon’s extensive fiber and wireless infrastructure, the solution offers utilities a single, high‑performance network that supports real‑time data exchange and remote monitoring. This capability is essential as utilities accelerate their shift toward smart grid operations and demand‑response programs.
The partnership expands Verizon’s footprint in the industrial IoT and utility markets, creating a new revenue channel beyond its traditional consumer and business services. It also reinforces Verizon’s strategy to leverage its network assets for high‑margin, mission‑critical services. The announcement marks a tangible step toward diversifying Verizon’s portfolio and capitalizing on the growing need for secure, high‑bandwidth connectivity in the energy sector.
