Integrity and Vibration Monitoring Sensor

IVMS-1 is a specialized sensor to detect tower integrity, monitoring vibration and inclination of infrastructure. This sensor is suitable to monitor valuable assets such as power line, cellular or broadcast towers. It is ideally suited to detect physical attack to critical assets and send immediate alarm to the control center.

The sensor enables real time monitoring and movement detection, sending data over LoRaWAN™ 868 MHz and 2.4 GHz network. The sensor can be part of a cooperative mesh network using LoRa modulation at 2.4GHz, used for FOTA upgrades and inter-gateway connections. Completely waterproof and tamperproof, it will last up to ten years on battery. The 2.4 GHz section is powered separately by a small integrated photovoltaic panel.
The sensor can easily be attached on the structure. A very low power inertial sensor and high accuracy inclinometer measure static position in real time, detecting any orientation change, movement and vibration. An optional integrated GNSS receiver is available.

All sensor parameters can be remotely programmed. It can be connected to long-range public or private LoRaWAN™ networks, including ProEsys gateways and Network Server. The sensor includes a LoRaWAN™ compliant protocol stack.
The sensor is supplied in IP67 enclosures all equipped with the tamper detection.
