The need for efficient and reliable water quality monitoring has never been greater. As industrial expansion intensifies pressure on water systems, technology plays a critical role in safeguarding this vital resource. Enter CSignum, a technology company that is revolutionising water monitoring with its pioneering solutions using electromagnetic (EM) field based signalling.
The CSignum Edge: Electromagnetic Field Signalling
CSignum has positioned itself at the forefront of innovation with 22 unique patents in EM field signalling. This ground-breaking technology enables secure and accurate communication through water, ice, soil, rock, concrete, and fluids—territory where traditional radio waves falter. With projects underway in Scandinavia and North America, CSignum’s influence is rapidly expanding across the world.
The Future of Wireless Water Monitoring
One of CSignum’s revolutionary developments is its wireless water monitoring solution. Traditional cable-based systems are fraught with challenges, including security risks, durability concerns, and high installation costs. CSignum’s wireless EM-based system offers a sleek alternative.
The wireless system includes a monitoring sonde connected to the EM-2 unit, transmitting data from beneath the water up to 100 meters to a topside station. The ability to transmit data wirelessly from within water bodies—unachievable with conventional radio waves—sets CSignum apart. This technology offers a huge operational advantage, particularly for offshore, shipping, and onshore water operators, reducing overall costs and improving reliability.
Some standout benefits of CSignum’s wireless system include:
- Enhanced Security and Durability: With no visible equipment along the riverside, the risk of theft and vandalism, which plagues over 30% of wired installations, is greatly reduced.
- Upstream and Downstream Monitoring: CSOs can be monitored efficiently from multiple points for real-time data comparison.
- Flexible Topside Placement: Urban areas benefit from flexible, secure topside station placements, unobtrusive to landowners.
- Time and Cost Efficiency: The system reduces the need for permits and accelerates the installation process.
Additionally, CSignum offers an airbag recovery system for easy retrieval and battery replacement of the sonde and EM2, without needing personnel to enter the water—another safety and cost-saving advantage.
Cutting-Edge Core Products
At the heart of CSignum’s product lineup are the EM-2 and EM-2S systems:
- EM-2: Features an omni-directional antenna, low-power listening mode, increased range and data rate, and a variety of connectivity options including cell and satellite.
- EM-2S: Specifically designed for shipping with an ultra-low power profile, internal battery pack with up to 5 years of life, and integrated sensor options.
These solutions are compatible with industry-leading sensors and sondes from companies like ANB Sensors and Xylem, further expanding their applicability across diverse water management systems.
Transforming the Future of Water Monitoring
With a firm commitment to advancing electromagnetic signalling and water quality solutions, CSignum is driving change in how industries manage water systems. Whether through its partnerships with leading organizations or its ability to significantly lower operating costs, CSignum is positioned as a leader in water monitoring technology. Its innovative products and solutions address the pressing need for durable, cost-effective, and reliable monitoring systems in challenging environments.
