The term Smart Utilities means the use of the IoT (Internet of Things) technology with all of the devices used to connect various systems and tools together to make delivery efficient and streamline business operations in water, electricity and natural gas utilities. Data can be gathered and connected, information can be transmitted from and to any point of the grid or connected network, and monitoring can be done real time. Hence, smart utilities offer a lot more than just convenience. Antennas play a vital role in making this possible, in successfully providing connectivity, often in challenging environments that are unique to the utility industry.
What is a Smart Antenna?
A smart antenna consists of multiple antennas to form what is known as an adaptive antenna array. It uses intelligent algorithms such that transmission rate and signal coverage distance is enhanced.
Let us take you through the various benefits of using smart antennas for smart utilities. Keep reading to learn more!
Reduced Costs
One of the greatest advantages of using smart antennas is that it lowers operating costs. It accommodates more users on the same frequency, allows the area served to increase, thereby bringing down expenses by reducing the requirement of the number of antennas.
Increased Safety
Smart antennas enable the IoT networks to form a new layer of digital infrastructure. This allows the smart utilities to maintain equipment better, thereby increasing the safety of the workers by reducing the probability of accidents happening due to faulty equipment. It helps predict faults, rather than respond to them!
Environment-Friendly
Smart antennas, along with increasing operational efficiency, also help in the deployment of renewable technologies thereby enabling your business to meet sustainability goals.Mobile Mark is a WiFi antenna manufacturer offering device, vehicle and infrastructure antennas for 30 MHz – 6 GHz. Their antennas cover many commercially available wireless networks (Cellular, LTE, ISM, WiFi, GPS, RFID, and VHF/UHF) as well as specialized networks such as 1400 MHz. The MIMO (multiple-input-multiple output) antennas support the newest WiFi systems, 802.11n and 802.11ac, whether they require two, three or six inputs. Mobile Mark’s antennas are easy to install and service free. To learn more about their antennas for utilities, contact Mobile Mark.
