Remote monitoring specialist Omniflex has released the latest in its industry-leading Teleterm range of remote monitoring instruments — the Teleterm SW1 module — an IoT-focused satellite-based remote monitoring module for the global cathodic protection (CP) market. Suited for use in a variety of applications, such galvanic CP installations on highways, bridges and pipelines in remote locations, the SW1 enables satellite-based remote monitoring and control where there is limited mobile connectivity and power supply.
The new SW1 remote monitoring module is solar powered using a tiny built in solar panel, so it requires no additional connections to power, and has no specialist set up requirements, other than requiring a clear view of the sky. It uses the low-cost Swarm satellite constellation, which provides 100 per cent global coverage, meaning users can now benefit from remote monitoring in environments where it was not previously possible due to the lack of mobile phone coverage, such as remote highways, pipelines and offshore installations, concluded the company.
