Manhole
Monitor

Infrastructure access and intrusion monitoring IoT solutions for Telcos and Utilities.

Problem statement

Utilities, Telco and other companies with underground assets and infrastructure, have a problem to monitor access to a system with a huge number of manholes. The IoT solution needs to be simple to install (no wires!) and frictionless to operate (battery powered), without interfering with the existing operational processes.

Solution

Remote monitoring of the access and personal presence can be done efficiently by Manhole Monitoring IoT solution, provided by Bitgear.

IO-Guard multi-sensor LPWAN devices are specially designed to protect manhole entrances, providing friction-less base for deploying niche real-time IoT access and intrusion monitoring system. They provide 10+ years of battery powered operation, with IK10 and IP68 environmental robustness.

The Manhole Monitoring IoT solution consists of:

Value

  • Access monitoring for systems with 1000's of manholes
  • Valuable exposed asset becomes fully digitalized and visible in real time
  • Turn-key solution for the complete lifecycle, including circular economy
  • Machine Learning enhancements on the service and maintenance levels

Techologies

  • LP-WAN (LoRaWAN and NB-IoT)
  • IoT platforms
  • Sensor fusion
  • Machine Learning
About
 

We are a world class innovation partner able to conceptualize, engineer and vivify even the most complicated and almost impossible products.

Bitgear delivers custom and standard, yet complete, electronics, software and algorithmic solutions, as well as systems components and intellectual property.

We create intelligent systems for a more connected and more sophisticated world. This we do by applying state of the art technology from a multitude of disciplines with fundamental understanding of relevant background concepts.

We shape the ideas and concepts into mass producible, useful and usable products. Whether we are talking about full systems or subsystems we rely on passion and fervor that drives us to innovate and improve.

With years of experience in different industries and based on structured work concepts we are here to facilitate your next innovation, to help you create it, shape it and most importantly to make it happen.

Circular Economy by Design

Bitgear actively applies circular economy principles. Design of IoT products is carried from product lifecycle perspective (focus on modular design, repairability and intensification of use) which enables slowing and closing of resource loops.

Milestones

2020
In the annual overview "ICT Serbia - At a Glance, 2020", Bitgear is recognized as a #1 leading Centre of R&D Potentials in our country. This is an important achievement for us, illustrating our dedication to embed science and knowledge in all our services and products.
2019
Bitgear introduced a new service: Digital Transformation with IoT. Following the B2B IoT take-off as a global trend, we derived the most modern service revolving around fast and incremental deployment of data collection IoT systems that digitally transform the way businesses are done.
2017
Launch of Bitgear's first own B2B IoT product: Manhole Monitoring System (www.io-elements.com). Our first client was national telco provider Telekom Serbia and their system was the first major LPWAN deployment in our geographic region.
2015
Bitgear cooperates with MIT Sloan School of Management G-Lab on business problems in critical areas such as processes, organization and strategic growth. Our third project (after projects in 2013 and 2014) laid out a roadmap for the next phase of company growth.
2013
