Control Case Study
Critical Cellular Connectivity for CNIGuard’s Manhole Monitoring System
November 2017
The Challenge
To deliver reliable, affordable and secure connectivity over a private network to support CNIguard’s Manhole Monitoring System (MMS).
The Control Solution
• A private cellular network using WestAccess to deliver an APN-as-a-Service
• Telenor roaming SIMs
• Hardware agnostic to allow futureproofing
• Full testing with a pilot scheme involving over 1000 MMS deployments
• Standard Control 2nd and 3rd line support and troubleshooting advice
The Results
• The cost effectiveness of WestAccess has been an excellent fit with CNIguard’s pricing
• The integrity of the MMS has been maintained with the security and reliability of the network
• The MMS is futureproofed as the Control networking solution is hardware agnostic

CNIguard
The protection of critical national infrastructure is essential to every-day-operations and has become a multi-trillion-dollar marketplace.
With headquarters in the UK and USA, CNIguard are international leaders in providing smart sensoring solutions for safeguarding and
strengthening the resilience of cities, infrastructures and populations. CNIguard’s SENSORCORE® technology platform forms the basis
for the company’s robust, cost-effective solutions for protecting infrastructure against both man-made and natural causes of damage.
Working closely with government and industry at policy and operational levels, CNIguard deliver smart solutions to the challenges
faced by the utilities, chemical, telecommunications, transportation and defence sectors worldwide.
Introducing the “Manhole Monitoring System”
Although an infrequent occurrence, manholes are at risk of exploding from
power surges and stray voltage that can be caused by degraded underground
powerlines. Stray voltage can also electrify manhole covers and other nearby
street furniture such as lampposts and bins; potentially delivering severe
electric shocks to passers-by. These incidents can cause significant injury to
pedestrians and animals, as well as damage to surrounding vehicles and
property. As part of a bespoke project for a key customer account who wanted
to safeguard against such incidents, CNIguard developed their Manhole
Monitoring System (MMS).
Through its accurate sensors, the CNIguard MMS minimises these risks whilst
• Network and hardware agnostic – works seamlessly across multiple cellular operators and can also provide hybrid networking with fixed line and satellite services
• Extends enterprise networks with ease – create a Wide Area Network extension over cellular
• Rapidly deployed – fully managed, end-to-end connectivity that can be rolled out in days and weeks instead of months
