Case Study: MicroPower Technologies achieves reliable remote video surveillance with Digi International

Micropower Technologies monitors 4,000 square miles with Digi

MicroPower Technologies was challenged by a major West Coast utility to provide video surveillance for remote distribution lines lacking power and network infrastructure. The utility needed a way to visually monitor sites during severe weather without sending personnel into hazardous conditions. Digi International, through its Digi TransPort WR21 cellular router, became a key technology partner in addressing this challenge.

The solution deployed was MicroPower's solar-powered SOLVEIL HD surveillance platform, which integrated the Digi TransPort WR21 router for reliable cellular connectivity in harsh environments. This Digi-enabled system transmits high-resolution video wirelessly to a central hub, allowing operators to monitor lines remotely. The results included minimized site visits, reduced costs, better protection for personnel, and faster emergency response, enabling the utility to shift from situational awareness to informed assessment.
