Tower Monitoring

Tower Telemetry You Can Trust From Source to NOC

10-30% of tower alarms are noise. Each one can trigger a $500-$2,500 truck roll. Expanso validates power, battery, and sensor data at the tower, so your NOC only sees real problems.

No hardware replacement. No sensor changes. Deploys alongside existing infrastructure.

Bad tower data costs money in ways that don't show up on a dashboard

False alarms trigger truck rolls. Drifted sensors hide real failures. Incomplete feeds make every investigation start with "is this data even accurate?" instead of "what's actually wrong."

Every false alarm is a potential $2,500 truck roll

When sensor data arrives incomplete or duplicated, threshold-based alarms fire on artifacts instead of real failures. A 10% false alarm rate across 5,000 towers means hundreds of unnecessary dispatches per week, each one costing $500-$2,500 and pulling field teams from actual maintenance.

10-30%
of tower alarms are noise

Sensor drift hides real equipment failures

When battery voltage or temperature readings drift without flagging, actual degradation goes unnoticed until equipment fails in the field.

NOC capacity consumed by phantom problems

20-30% of NOC time goes to validating whether telemetry is accurate instead of resolving actual incidents. That capacity doesn't come back.

MTTR inflated by unreliable data

Investigations start with data verification instead of root cause analysis. That adds 15-40% to resolution times and pushes incidents past SLA thresholds.

Observability costs grow with every new tower

Each tower adds power, environmental, and RF telemetry to your ingestion pipeline. Most of it is redundant, but you pay to store and process all of it.

Tower telemetry integrity, enforced at the source

Expanso validates power, battery, environmental, and RF sensor data at each tower before it enters your backhaul. Your NOC and analytics tools only receive signals that pass validation.

1

Validate power, battery, and sensor readings at the tower

Voltage, temperature, and environmental readings get checked for completeness, timing accuracy, and sensor drift. Partial or anomalous data gets flagged before it triggers a false alarm in your NOC.

# Tower A sensor validation
voltage: 48.2V nominal · drift: 0.1%
battery: 94% capacity · within range
HVAC: 22.4°C · 3 sensors consistent
2

Suppress retry traffic and duplicate sensor readings

Network retries and duplicate sensor reports get filtered at the edge. Your backhaul carries only actionable data, and your historian stores signal instead of noise.

# Noise suppression
retries: 234 suppressed · network flap
duplicates: 89 removed · 7.2% of stream
forwarded: 1,247 clean records
3

Detect drift and incomplete feeds in real time

When a sensor starts reporting values that drift outside historical baselines, or when a tower stops sending a data stream, Expanso flags it at the edge. Your NOC knows about the problem before it affects KPIs.

# Drift and completeness monitoring
tower_b: battery drift +2.4% · flagged
tower_c: HVAC feed missing · 12min gap
tower_a: all feeds nominal

European O-RAN Deployment

3,847 tower sites. 8 TB/hr of telemetry. $847K/mo in observability.

A European carrier's tower monitoring ran on telemetry that was 2.3 seconds old. Duplicate sensor data inflated alarm volumes, and the NOC spent 30% of its weekly capacity validating whether alerts were real before investigating root causes.

Expanso deployed at the edge across all 3,847 sites in 14 weeks. Tower sensor validation now happens at the source, and only verified telemetry reaches the NOC and analytics platforms.

"Do we need another monitoring system?"

Expanso is not a dashboard. It doesn't replace your tower monitoring platform, your NMS, or your historian. It sits before all of them.

It validates power, battery, and environmental sensor data at the tower itself, catching drift, duplication, and incomplete feeds in real time. Your monitoring stack stays exactly as it is. The difference is that the data entering it is complete, time-consistent, and trustworthy.

Built for large-scale tower infrastructure

No hardware changes required

No sensor replacements, no new control systems. Expanso deploys as software alongside your existing tower infrastructure.

Vendor-agnostic validation

Works across all tower equipment vendors. One validation standard covers power, environmental, and RF sensor data from any source.

Fewer preventable truck rolls

When false alarms drop by 30-50%, dispatches driven by bad data drop proportionally. At $500-$2,500 per roll, the savings compound fast.

Scales from pilot to nationwide

Start with a regional cluster. Expand to thousands of towers. Same architecture, same policies, no rework needed.

Stop dispatching trucks to problems that don't exist

Validate tower telemetry at the source. Let your NOC focus on real failures.
