SYSTEM, DEVICE AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC DETECTION AND REPORTING OF LOCATION AND EXTENT OF SERVICE FAILURE IN UTILITY AND TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS

摘要

System, device and method for automatic detection and reporting of location and extent of service failure in utility and/or telecommunication networks are disclosed. In one embodiment, operational condition information of each utility pole/tower or telecommunication pole/tower is obtained by using a pole/tower sensing device disposed to monitor operational conditions at each utility pole/tower or telecommunication pole/tower in the respective utility or telecommunication networks. Further, the obtained operational condition information of each utility pole/tower or telecommunication pole/tower is sent to a remote monitoring server via a communication network by the associated pole/tower sensing device. Furthermore, the operational condition information received from each utility pole/tower or telecommunication pole/tower is processed by the remote monitoring server. Based on the outcome of processing the operational condition information by the remote monitoring server, location and extent of service failure in the utility or telecommunication networks is reported.
