Utilities

TXO provides secure, resilient telecom solutions for electricity, gas, and water utilities. From SCADA network design and IP modernisation to asset recovery and secure communications, we help operators optimise, manage, deploy, and resell their telecom infrastructure.

Transforming technology for a sustainable future

The utilities sector—electricity, water, and gas—relies on secure, resilient, and future-ready telecommunications networks to support critical operations. From SCADA-based telemetry systems to private telecom networks and IP modernisation, operators require robust, secure, and scalable infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted service and regulatory compliance.

At TXO, we provide full-circle support, helping utilities optimise, manage, deploy, and resell their telecom technology. Our deep understanding of operational technology (OT), SCADA systems, and resilient network architecture enables us to deliver tailored solutions for electricity distribution network operators (DNOs), water utilities, and gas infrastructure providers.

Optimise – modernising and securing critical infrastructure

Utilities require highly secure, redundant, and reliable telecom networks to meet regulatory requirements and operational demands. TXO supports utilities in modernising legacy networks, improving security, and enabling future-ready infrastructure.

  • Network modernisation & rationalisation – Transition from legacy systems, such as BT Kilostream, to secure, high-performance IP-based networks.
  • Secure telecom infrastructure for operational technology – Supporting SCADA traffic, RTU (remote terminal units), and PLCs (programmable logic controllers).
  • Urban mining & asset recovery – Recover and recycle copper, valuable components, and critical materials from decommissioned infrastructure.
  • Regulatory compliance & cybersecurity – Supporting secure communication protocols such as BGP, OSPF, GRE, AES-256 encryption, and cryptographic key management.

Manage – ensuring reliability and long-term network performance

Utilities depend on always-on, resilient networks for critical operations, safety monitoring, and emergency response. TXO provides proactive network management and lifecycle support to extend infrastructure longevity and maintain high availability.

  • 24/7 proactive monitoring & secure network maintenance – Minimising downtime and ensuring continuous operational performance.
  • Spare parts management & secure logistics – Ensuring critical components are always available for maintenance and upgrades.
  • End-of-service-life (EOSL) support – Extending the lifespan of essential utility telecom infrastructure beyond OEM support.

Deploy – delivering robust, future-ready network solutions

TXO helps utilities design, install, and integrate resilient, secure telecom networks tailored to electricity, gas, and water infrastructure needs.

  • Engineering-led network design & deployment – Supporting microwave radio, ethernet, fibre, VHF/UHF, and satellite communications.
  • Pre-build & staging solutions – Configuring and testing SCADA and operational technology networks before deployment.
  • Secure site installation & integration – Deploying networks for remote substations, water treatment plants, and gas transmission infrastructure.

Resell – maximising value through responsible asset recovery

As utilities upgrade and replace legacy telecom infrastructure, TXO provides secure asset recovery, resale, and sustainable recycling solutions.

  • Asset recovery & resale – Secure, compliant decommissioning with financial returns.
  • Urban mining & responsible recycling – Recovering copper, fibre, and valuable materials to reduce reliance on raw material extraction.
  • A global marketplace for renewed technology – Supporting sustainability and cost savings with high-quality renewed telecom equipment.
