Operational Impact
FreeWave was the first wireless M2M communications provider able to establish a reliable data communications link in the harsh terrain on Oahu. | |
The difficult terrains and challenging installation of FCIs on Oahu posed no threat to the functionality of the network comprised of FreeWave’s FGR2-PE solutions. | |
By installing FCIs throughout the island of Oahu, HECO can now mitigate power outages or issues along the power line and address issues faster and more efficiently. | |
Quantitative Benefit
FCIs have been deployed across the entire island of Oahu. | |
