Storm-season coverage is pulling against a rollout that cannot be cheaply undone.
The utility wants docks installed across substations, while inconsistent connectivity makes a scaled remote-operation commitment risky.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My security lead wants those sites covered before the weather hits, and I’m still getting different answers on why the video drops.”

What is at stake
Nine of 24 substations show intermittent remote-operation connectivity 21 days before storm season. You have to weigh coverage urgency against site work that becomes expensive to reverse.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- storm-season coverage vs connectivity confidence
- installation momentum vs reversible learning
- customer urgency vs approval assumptions
- automated signals vs verified evidence
Why Skydio
Skydio dock deployments move from isolated flights to standing critical-infrastructure programs where remote operations must hold up across many sites.
