TELECOM & UTILITIES MONITORING
Real-Time Wireless LoRaWAN® Verticality, Antenna Alignment & Structural Stability Monitoring for Telecom Masts and Power Grids
5G cellular towers, microwave relay masts, and high-voltage transmission pylons are increasingly exposed to extreme wind loads, ice accumulation, soil erosion, and overloading from stacked antenna arrays. Even minor angular deflection degrades directional signal propagation or threatens grid continuity. Satevis® wireless LoRaWAN® inclinometers provide maintenance-free, continuous verticality and foundation stability tracking across remote, off-grid assets—with up to
7+ years of battery autonomy and zero cabling down the mast.KEY MONITORED PARAMETERS
• Tower Plumbness & Mast Verticality: High-precision bi-axis (±30° / ±55°) and tri-axis (±10° / ±85°) inclination tracking (0.001° resolution, ±0.003° repeatability) on lattice towers, monopoles, and guyed masts via Satevis® Alpha-Inc.
• 5G & Microwave Antenna Roll/Pitch Alignment: Continuous monitoring of antenna mounting brackets to detect azimuth or tilt drift after severe storms, preventing line-of-sight (LOS) link degradation.
• Pylon Foundation Settlement & Anchor Base Cracking: Direct connection of Easy-Sense Displacement Sensors (10 mm to 400 mm stroke) to monitor concrete footing cracks, baseplate uplift, or guy-wire anchor movement.
• Thermal Twist & Ice Load Correlation: Plug-and-play Easy-Sense Temperature & Humidity Probes (-40°C to +85°C, 0–100% RH) to distinguish daily solar thermal bending (steel differential heating) from permanent structural tilt or icing conditions.
EASY-SENSE™ SENSOR FUSION ARCHITECTURE
WHY CHOOSE SATEVIS® SENSOR FUSION FOR TELECOM & UTILITY ASSETS?
Deploying long sensor cables down high-voltage pylons or 100-meter telecom towers introduces lightning strike hazards, wind-induced cable fatigue, and high installation costs. With the Easy-Sense sensor fusion function integrated into every Satevis® Alpha-Inc inclinometer, you can plug an external temperature/humidity probe or linear displacement transducer directly into the inclinometer's rugged M8-4Pin connector:
01
SINGLE LORAWAN® RADIO NODE
Transmit both 3-axis mast inclination and ambient temperature/humidity or foundation crack displacement through one wireless transmitter.
02
ZERO LIGHTNING & HV CABLING RISK
Complete galvanic isolation from ground-level cabling; powered directly by the Alpha-Inc internal battery 3.3 VDC with an onboard 15-bit ADC.
03
3-LEVEL EDGE ALARMING
Non-volatile flash memory stores calibration offsets and triggers instant LoRaWAN® uplink alerts (Minor / Severe / Critical) when tilt exceeds limits.
04
15 KM OFF-GRID COVERAGE
Up to 15 km LOS radio range to a solar-powered Satevis® IoT Gateway, compatible with CommonSense, Satevis® Cloud, TTN & ChirpStack.
