Procurement Description - Abriox Logger Airtime & Webhosting Services
Abriox loggers are widely deployed across the NGN network and are used to collect essential operational data. Their functionality supports two key areas of network management:
A. Cathodic Protection (CP) Pipeline Monitoring
Abriox loggers are installed at Cathodic Protection test points across remote areas of the network. They remove the need for monthly physical site visits by automatically recording CP readings and transmitting them to a central system on a daily basis. The devices also generate SMS alerts when readings fall below acceptable thresholds, enabling timely intervention.
B. Pressure Management
Abriox loggers are also used throughout the NGN network to capture and download pressure data. When originally procured and installed, the associated Airtime and Webhosting services were included within the respective supply and installation contracts.
Upon installation, each logger includes an initial 12 month Airtime and Webhosting package. The SIM cards provided at installation cannot be replaced or changed during the operational life of the loggers.
