As Seen In
GridIQ is pioneering innovative technology to tackle one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time—preventing catastrophic wildfires before they begin.
How It Works
Our advanced technology provides end-to-end wildfire prevention through three key steps
Monitor
Advanced sensors continuously monitor power lines and surrounding conditions for anomalies and potential risks.
Detect
AI algorithms analyze sensor data in real-time to identify grid faults and environmental conditions that could lead to wildfires.
Alert
Instant notifications alert utility companies and emergency services, enabling rapid response before incidents escalate.
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.
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.
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.
