Smarter Bases
Smarter Bases start with Smarter Solutions
Across the UK, the defence sector is under increasing pressure to do more with less when it comes to the management of army bases. Operational readiness must be maintained, costs controlled, energy usage reduced, and living environments improved – all whilst maintaining and improving base security.
Like many industries, the defence sector looks to technology to streamline operations and improve base security. The solution lies in making army bases smarter, but they must be supported by highly secure, stronger networks.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a critical enabler. Whether your base already operates a secure LPWAN network or is planning a new secure network build, smarter bases require resilient, highly secure connectivity to unlock value at scale.
North has in-depth experience of deploying LPWAN networks to provide IoT connectivity across cities, towns and MOD sites, enabling them to adopt sensor-based technologies to achieve operational efficiencies and cost efficiencies at scale.
Make your base run more efficiently with secure Smarter Bases Solutions
Book in time with one of our experts for a Free IoT Assessment and learn the best solutions to help you achieve your operational goals. From energy management and optimisation to meet decarbonisation goals, enhancing perimeter security with real-time breach alerts or simply gaining a deeper understanding of base operations, a smart base solution provides a secure unified view of base operations.
Streamline Base Operations
Streamline Operations and Improve Security
IoT enabled smart solutions allows the monitor, management and optimisation of bases on a single secure system. Get access to a holistic view of operations including cameras, boundary sensors, energy monitoring, building occupancy and more.
Smart Perimeter Monitoring
Keep your base secure with enhance perimeter protection. Smarter Bases solutions bring sensors and cameras together on a single secure system that operates 24/7. Receive automated alerts when a breach is detected in real-time.
10-30% Energy Savings Across Bases
Smarter Bases solutions combine energy data with building occupancy insights to drive greater efficiencies to cut costs and reduce energy consumption. Occupancy monitoring allows energy usage such as lighting, heating or HVAC to be automated and adjusted dynamically.
Create Safer More Comfortable Living Spaces
Continuously monitor barracks for damp and mould to create safer, more comfortable living spaces for personnel. In addition, sensor led water monitoring can support legionella support programmes helping protect health and removes the need for manual testing.
Stronger Collaboration with Internal & External Teams
With a built-in CCTV registry, authorised users can quickly identify, request, and retrieve footage from external systems and neighbouring organisations, reducing duplication and streamlining multi-agency investigations.
Building Occupancy Monitoring
Building occupancy monitoring not only supports the reduction in energy consumption but also lets you understand how the barracks and buildings across the base are utilised to avoid unnecessary investments in expansions and instead optimise what is already there – saving capital expenditure and reducing long-term operating costs.
Already Have an IoT/LPWAN Network in Place?
Many military bases across the UK already operate LPWAN or similar low-power networks as part of their existing infrastructure. If your base or estate already benefits from an operational LPWAN network, Smarter Bases solutions can be deployed quickly to maximise its value. By integrating sensors, cameras and systems onto your existing network, you can rapidly enhance situational awareness, improve efficiency and drive cost and energy savings without the need for additional network investment.
