Telecom Tower Damage and Theft Prevention

Industries: Utilities & Telecom

Problem: Theft and damage to transmission or cellular towers (for scrap metal, copper and batteries theft) leads to significant direct and indirect losses, extreme safety incidents and outages. Conventional methods of protection and deterrence are not effective and costly.

Solution: Automatic monitoring of towers with Ekatra’s Edge Sensors to detect tampering, dismantling and other events with near real-time notifications to security and maintenance services, global system for supervision and analytics.

Benefits: Autonomous and continuous operation. Security personnel only need to be deployed to locations where suspected activities have been detected and confirmed, instead of the costly continuous patrol used previously. Reduction in the number of theft incidents.
