    Welcome! 

     

    Thank you for participating in the Electric Cooperative Collaboration Circle (EC3), a virtual platform where all members can quickly share ideas, best practices and knowledge. The circle is led by a board of representatives from the electric cooperative community across the U.S., sponsored by Juniper Networks.  

     

    Why Develop a Collaboration Circle for Electric Cooperatives? 

     

    The technology landscape for Electric Cooperatives is evolving more rapidly today than ever before. Grid network modernization, smart community broadband, advancing cybersecurity, and developing solutions to interconnect your members effectively are some of the most relevant topics. We’re sure others will surface and the “collaboration circle” is simply another means to help you find answers to help you deliver a positive outcome for you, your cooperative and your members. 

     

    Why Juniper Networks?  

     

    Juniper continues to invest in the focus and success of the Electric Cooperative community. And when you need a modernized architecture that can deliver a robust balance of reliability, scale, and lower operating expense, you need one that's simple, reliable and secure.  

     

    Not only is Juniper powering more than 100 Electric Cooperative networks, we also power the world's largest and most demanding IT infrastructures. This includes the top global service providers, 99 of the Fortune 100, and the top five social media platforms world-wide.  

     

    We have a number of similar advisory boards established across other vertical markets. And Juniper understands the mission of Electric Cooperatives to advance the power grid and close the digital divide are no less important. 

     

    Next Steps

     

    Electric Cooperatives are alike in many ways, but when it comes to solving network challenges every system is unique. And choosing the right vision, strategy, and architecture is critical to a positive outcome.  

     

    Review the topic categories of interest. Find or create a thread. Spark a question or simply add idea or approach that may provide value to the circle. The objective is to quickly share ideas, best practices and knowledge.
