Solutions · Utilities and industry
An energy plant can’t go without communications. We build the radio networks and systems that keep it connected and under control.
We design, install, and maintain professional radio networks, ATEX-certified PoC devices, and LoRaWAN sensor networks for energy operators, utilities, and high-risk industrial environments. For clients like Iren, we bring over twenty years of experience in mission-critical communications.
The three challenges of running a plant or a utility network.
What an energy or industrial operator has to guarantee every day, in the field and in the control room.
Hazardous environments
In industrial plants, teams work in zones classified for potentially explosive atmospheres. This calls for ATEX-certified radio terminals and PoC devices, not general-purpose equipment.
Teams spread across the territory
An energy operator’s maintenance teams cover large geographic areas. This calls for PMR radio networks on the plants and PoC communications over the cellular network to reach even those working beyond local radio coverage.
Infrastructure to keep under control
Power grids, water networks, and process plants must be monitored without interruption. The status of network devices and field sensors has to reach the network operators in real time, with alarms no one can ignore.
What happens when a sensor flags an anomaly at the plant.
A concrete case: from field detection to the team’s response, with the systems working together.
A sensor detects the problem in the field
A LoRaWAN sensor network monitors the plant’s environmental and structural parameters: temperature, vibration, level, and the opening of doors and cabinets. When a value crosses its threshold, the sensor sends the reading to the LoRaWAN gateway at 868 MHz and from there to the supervision platform.
The alarm reaches the control room
Track-TP gathers data from sensors, network devices, and radio systems in a single interface and flags the anomaly in real time. The notification goes out via email, WhatsApp, or Telegram to whoever is on shift, even when they are away from the dashboard.
The control room calls the team
From the Respondr console, the operator calls the nearest maintenance team. Respondr brings the plant’s DMR and TETRA radio networks and PoC communications over the cellular network into a single interface, reaching every team in the field.
The team responds in a hazardous zone
The technician reaches the plant and communicates with the control room using an ATEX-certified PoC device, suited to zones classified for potentially explosive atmospheres. The team’s position stays visible on the Respondr map thanks to GPS tracking.
Radio coverage stays under control
Once the response is over, monitoring continues: TP-RFX continuously checks for the presence of radio carriers from 15 MHz to 2.7 GHz across the plant, and the communications from the response stay recorded by Respondr’s built-in system, available to reconstruct the event.
The systems we deploy.
Each solution has its own in-depth page; here you’ll find only what it does for a plant or a utility network.
- Operational radio
DMR and TETRA radio networks
We design and build the operational radio networks for plants: DMR Tier II and Tier III, TETRA trunking, and VHF/UHF links, from design through maintenance.
- Hazardous zones
PoC devices and ATEX radios
ATEX-certified radio terminals and PoC devices for teams working in zones classified for potentially explosive atmospheres.
- Distributed teams
PoC communications over the cellular network
Push-to-Talk over the national cellular network to keep teams distributed across large areas connected, beyond local radio coverage.
- Sensors and monitoring
LoRaWAN solutions
LoRaWAN networks and sensors for the environmental, structural, and operational monitoring of plants, with data gathered on the Track-TP platform.
- Integrated supervision
Track-TP
Web platform that shows the status of network devices, radio systems, and sensors on a single dashboard, with real-time alarms.
- Spectrum monitoring
TP-RFX
Outdoor spectrum analyzer that continuously monitors radio carriers from 15 MHz to 2.7 GHz: it detects signal degradation before it becomes a service outage.
- Site-to-site links
Microwave radio links
Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint microwave links to connect remote sites and supervision rooms where fiber doesn’t reach.
- System integration
SCADA and BMS integration
We integrate radio and monitoring systems with the plant SCADA and with building management systems (BMS) via SNMP, relay contacts, and documented APIs.
- Radio terminals
Radio fleet supply
Supply, programming, and maintenance of the teams’ radio terminals: we are authorized resellers for Motorola Solutions, Hytera, and Kenwood, and the exclusive Funktronic distributor for Italy.
Our systems integrate with the plants you already have.
No closed systems: we use open protocols, let different technologies coexist on the same plants, and work with the certifications that public tenders require.
Multi-protocol on the same network
TETRA, DMR, VHF/UHF, and PoC over the cellular network coexist under a single interface: your existing radio investments remain valid even when the technology changes.
Integration with SCADA and BMS
Radio and monitoring systems interface with the plant SCADA and with building management systems (BMS) via SNMP, relay contacts, and APIs.
Certifications and qualifications
Teleproject is an ISO 9001:2015 certified and SOA OS 19 qualified company. The Respondr and Track-TP platforms are designed in compliance with the NIS2 directive and the ISA/IEC 62443-3-3 standard.
