Our Process

How It Works

Our advanced technology provides end-to-end wildfire prevention through three key steps

01

Monitor

Advanced sensors continuously monitor power lines and surrounding conditions for anomalies and potential risks.

02

Detect

AI algorithms analyze sensor data in real-time to identify grid faults and environmental conditions that could lead to wildfires.

03

Alert

Instant notifications alert utility companies and emergency services, enabling rapid response before incidents escalate.

Our Technology

Precision Fault Detection

GridIQ's proprietary sensor technology actively monitors your grid, identifying critical faults instantly and transforming miles of passive infrastructure into a real-time fire prevention network.

GridIQ Sensor mounted on a utility pole

Real-Time Pulse Analysis

Utilizes voltage signaling for high fidelity line monitoring.

Meter-Level Fault Location

Pinpoints fault locations with exceptional accuracy, enabling rapid and targeted response.

Wide-Area Coverage

Efficiently monitors extensive grid sections without requiring dense sensor deployment.

Aging Infrastructure Compatible

Seamlessly integrates with existing grid hardware, including older reclosers and poles.

Instant Wireless Alerts

Delivers immediate notifications to utility operations centers upon fault detection.

Reduced Risk & Liability

Proactive detection minimizes ignition risks, significantly lowering potential liabilities.

The Challenge

Why GridIQ Is Needed Now

The threat of wildfires is growing, driven by climate change and aging infrastructure. A new approach to grid safety is essential.

$100B+ Annual Damage

Wildfires cause catastrophic economic and environmental damage every year, with costs continuing to rise.

Growing Utility Liability

Utilities face increasing financial and legal responsibility for wildfire ignition, threatening their stability.

Sub-Second Detection

Most ignitions happen in fractions of a second. Instant fault detection is critical to de-energize lines before a fire can start.

The Rural Coverage Gap

Existing sensor systems lack the precision and scalability needed for remote, high-risk rural and forested areas.
