Protecting life and infrastructure
Early alerting can save lives. The AarteLink® monitors all types of natural hazards. It is used for events such as falling stones, avalanches, debris flow, flood, and many more.
Thanks to wireless communication and autonomous feed-in, AarteLink® can be installed quickly at any place and is ready for use within a very short time.
Challenges
- “Lightweight solutions” for the detection and recording of natural hazards
- Independent power supply of the devices at difficult-to-access and remote sites
- Transportability, installation and operation of the solution
- Maintenance autonomy
