“GridIQ, a startup using intelligent sensors to detect and isolate electrical faults in real time, aiming to stop wildfires before they start.”
Distribution-Level Visibility Is the Missing Layer
Utilities and critical infrastructure operators lack real-time situational awareness at the edge of the grid—where faults happen, fires ignite, and outages cascade.
Equipment-Caused Ignitions
Arcing, conductor contact, and equipment failures on distribution lines are a leading cause of catastrophic wildfires.
Milliseconds Matter
Most ignitions escalate within seconds. Legacy systems detect faults too slowly—or not at all—to prevent fire spread. GridIQ classifies anomalies in milliseconds.
Localization Gaps
Knowing a fault occurred isn't enough. Crews need inch-level precision across miles of conductor to respond before conditions worsen.
Rising Stakes
Wildfire liability, PSPS events, and regulatory pressure are forcing utilities to modernize faster than ever.
Smart Grid Health Monitoring
GridIQ deploys patent-pending, signal-based sensors that continuously monitor distribution infrastructure. We detect faults, localize them with precision, and deliver actionable insights—so you can act before conditions escalate.
Millisecond Anomaly Classification
Instantly categorize fault types—arcing, contact, equipment failure—within milliseconds for faster, smarter deployment decisions.
Mile-Wide, Inch-Level Precision
A single sensor monitors up to one mile of conductor with inch-level accuracy to pinpoint exactly where faults occur.
Real-Time Situational Awareness
Continuous monitoring with instant alerts to operations and field crews—know what's happening before it escalates.
Legacy-Compatible Design
Integrates with existing infrastructure—poles, reclosers, and aging equipment.
Wildfire Prevention & Ignition Risk Reduction
GridIQ was built for the most demanding environment: high fire-threat districts where seconds determine whether a fault becomes a catastrophe.
Detect Conditions Associated with Ignition
Identify arcing, incipient faults, and conductor anomalies before they escalate to fire.
Enable Faster De-Energization Decisions
Provide operations teams with the confidence to act quickly—reducing PSPS scope and duration.
Pinpoint Fault Location for Rapid Patrol
Guide field crews to the exact location, minimizing search time in high-risk terrain.
Support Post-Event Forensics
Capture high-fidelity event data for regulatory reporting and continuous improvement.
Grid Health for Every High-Stakes Environment
The same precision that prevents wildfires delivers value across critical infrastructure, resilience applications, and emerging electrification corridors.
