EkkoSense mast technology helps predict which utility poles require maintenance before they cause a hazard or power failure. It relays data gathered by a variety of motion sensors measuring, for instance, pole tilt and vibration. These devices are self-powered, maintenance free, with a lifetime of 10+ years.
