Case Study: Withthegrid achieves smarter utility grid monitoring with Taoglas antennas

Taoglas Helps Withthegrid Make Utilities Smarter

Withthegrid, a Netherlands-based provider of a low-code asset monitoring platform for utility companies, needed a highly reliable and rugged cellular antenna for its IoT sensors. These sensors, deployed across various environments to monitor energy infrastructure for issues like corrosion and leaks, required consistent connectivity even in areas with weak cellular reception. They turned to vendor Taoglas to find a robust antenna solution that would ensure always-on data transmission.

Taoglas provided its GSA.8822.B 4G/3G/2G LTE T-bar adhesive antenna, selected for its high performance, IP67 waterproof rating, and flexibility for both indoor and outdoor installation. This solution enabled Withthegrid's sensors to reliably collect and transmit data at varying intervals, allowing utilities to receive real-time alerts for malfunctions and move from annual manual checks to continuous monitoring. The partnership ensured robust RF performance, helping Withthegrid's utility customers improve grid health, predict failures, and significantly reduce their operational costs.
