Those operating in the utility sector are responsible for managing the infrastructure that supports basic amenities, such as water, sewage services, electricity, dams and natural gas. Over time, this infrastructure wears down and without appropriate management, results in significant cost implications (e.g., water leaks amount to over 45 billion litres of drinking water loss every day globally). In the case of water and many other utilities, monitoring becomes difficult with traditional techniques over wide and challenging networks. Satellite technologies provide an indispensable tool for this type of monitoring and offer crucial support for mitigating damage to utility infrastructure.
Telespazio utility products and services are available through the AWARE platform. They provide the utility sector with the following benefits:
- Quick response to events that could result in damage to utilities
- Reducing risk of structural damage and collapse through alert notifications
- Improved maintenance processes and effective decision making
- Remote assessments improve safety
- Improved efficiency through reduced staff field visits and remote monitoring
- Improvement in the quality of monitoring data
