Utility Network Antennas

Utility networks (water/electricity) form the infrastructure backbone of cities and are indispensable resource hubs for daily life. Bat Wireless supplies antennas/RF modules for global projects including:

  • Smart meter reading systems
  • Power transmission line monitoring
  • Substation equipment inspection
  • Distribution network automation
  • Emergency communication support
Efficient coverage and management significantly enhance resource utilization for nations and enterprises, where antennas and RF modules play a critical role.

Cost Reduction & Efficiency Improvement

Applications and Advantages of Antennas in Unmanned Power Inspection, Monitoring, and Transmission/Transformation Control

  • Power inspection

    Transmitting real-time images and data of high-voltage lines and substation equipment via wireless communication. Replaces high-risk manual work, improving safety.

  • Electric power control

    Substation remote control: 5G-enabled breaker/switch operations. Redundant communication ensures reliability. Enables fully automated substations. Enables dynamic grid control.

  • Power monitoring

    Real-time alerts for overloads or faults. Low-cost deployment with wireless networks.

Smart Grid Solutions

Power grid monitoring, control and emergency automation

  • High-Gain Directional (≥15dBi, 470/868/915MHz): Transmission line monitoring → long-range multi-hop relay
  • Parabolic/Microstrip Patch (F/B≥30dB, anti-EMI coating): Substation inspection in high-interference environments
  • Smart Array (Beam switch≤10ms): Distribution networks with low-latency dense-terminal control
  • Helical/Embedded PCB/FPC (VSWR≤1.5, 50Ω): Meter reading with dense-building penetration
  • Portable Whip/Magnetic (-40℃~85℃): Emergency communications with rapid mobile deployment

Antenna Applications in Power Grids

  • Harsh Environment Resilience
  • Real-Time Data Transmission
  • Smart O&M Enablement
  • Supports hybrid communication

Grid System Maintenance

  • Antennas deliver three core functions: remote data transmission, equipment monitoring, and anti-interference communication, with specific types deployed per scenario:
  • Drone-mounted Dual-band Antenna (2.4/5.8GHz): Transmits HD IR/visible videos to locate faults.
  • Whip/Microstrip Patch Antennas: Relay real-time data on line temperature, insulator damage, and partial discharge to control centers.
  • Yagi/Parabolic Antennas: Ensure stable substation-relay station communication in high-EMI environments via directional beams.
  • Log-Periodic Antenna: Detects 300MHz–3GHz discharge signals to identify insulator defects.
