Antennas for Utilities
Antenna Solutions for the generation, storage, distribution, & consumption of Utilities.
Reliable Antenna Solutions for your Utility Network
Antennas are key to any optimized Utility Network. The generation, storage, distribution & consumption are significant parts of the chain. When Utility Network System Integrators invest in their equipment with scalable, real-time sensors and monitoring hardware. The result is reduced risk, increase efficiency with smart energy, as well as less waste. The tracking of each unit for maintenance becomes an easier feat. Therefore units are taken care of before anything goes wrong. In turn, emergency situations costs exponentially more money than doing preventative work.

5 Common Applications for Antennas in Utilities
-
1. Land and Sea Exploration
Exploration activities take place in difficult conditions, such as corrosive environments or heavy vibration settings. Mobile Mark has a track record of developing environment resilient antennas such as foam-filed antennas that protect against severe vibration, impact, water ingress and sea salt incursion. These antennas provide dependable wireless connections for mineral exploration and telemetry.

2. Sub-Stations and Local Distribution
Continuous monitoring of sub-stations is critical to maintaining a reliable source of energy to each consumer. Outages due to extreme weather conditions are just one challenge faced. Mobile Mark offers high performance antennas that are designed specifically for utility infrastructure in neighborhoods and sub-stations. Antenna styles include a blade style antenna that fits on utility boxes and a low-profile impact resistant antenna.

3. Smart Meters
Different meters will require different wireless solutions. Some meters will require external, heavy duty, tamper resistant antennas and others will need internally embedded antennas that must be custom designed. In RF dense areas, the challenge may be to isolate the desired signal from extraneous signals, and in remote areas, you may need higher gain to carry the signal further. You may also need the flexibility to work on different wireless networks, such as switching from WiFi to Cellular.

4. Smart Grids
Smart grids need consistent, dependable data transfer along the full length of the grid with more extensive communication requirements at key nodes in the system. Mobile Mark offers a range of rugged omni-directional and directional site antennas designed to cover targeted areas, whether close-in or far-field. The antennas can meet industry specific features such as high voltage insulation or PTCRB requirements by Cellular Carriers.
