Battery and cable theft at tower sites is systematic rather than opportunistic, and the detection lag is usually the outage itself. By the time the network operations centre sees a site drop, the equipment is already in a vehicle.
The problem
Dispersed assets, delayed detection.
Cameras inside the cabinet
Pinhole cameras covering the cabinet interior alongside IR fisheye for wide-area site coverage — four to eight cameras per site depending on layout.
Industrial 4G per site
Secure industrial routers at every site, so surveillance does not depend on the same infrastructure the thieves are attacking.
Alerting, not archiving
AI video analytics on every site feeding a centralised control room, so an event raises a call rather than sitting on a hard drive until someone goes looking.
Rollout as a discipline
A national rollout is a logistics problem as much as a technical one. We have run one end to end across every province.
Cameras on the tower, not just at the gate.
Proof
180 sites, one national rollout.
For Swiftnet, formerly Telkom Towers, contracted via TAG Telecoms, we deployed CCTV and AI surveillance across 180 GSM tower sites nationally with centralised monitoring and alerting into a global control room.
