Traditional manual inspection methods face multiple challenges, including low safety, difficult management, inefficiency, slow response times, and limited real-time capabilities. These constraints hinder the effectiveness of routine inspections for towers and transmission lines.
Hongdian Solution
Modern intelligent inspection adopts drones equipped with HD video transmission and automated defect identification to achieve precise and efficient grid inspection. With the widespread application of 5G technology, drones now support smart grid operations by transmitting high-definition aerial videos and images of power facilities in real time.
Hongdian’s transmission line drone inspection solution integrates a compact 5G industrial gateway, offering high-speed, low-latency, and stable communication. By connecting to the drone camera via Ethernet, the system uploads real-time video and image data directly to video and data servers. It enables multi-drone remote control and monitoring, allowing operators to view live footage steadily even over long distances.
Product Highlights
The H8820 5G router—a lightweight device with Wi-Fi 6 support—delivers cellular speeds of up to 3.4 Gbps and is tailored for high-definition video backhaul and remote maintenance. Key features include:
-
High-speed, low-latency 5G transmission
-
Local data storage and real-time processing capability
-
Dual SIM with auto-failover for enhanced reliability
-
Suited for smart energy applications such as transmission line inspection
With the high-speed, low-latency performance of Hongdian’s 5G industrial gateway, HD videos and images are transmitted more clearly and synchronously, enabling full visualization of the inspection process. The solution significantly improves inspection efficiency, reduces the need for manual on-site inspection, and enhances the safety and reliability of power grid operations.
