Distributed Monitoring System for Decentralised Components in Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan stands on the threshold of becoming one of the most important tourist areas of Central Asia. A reliable infrastructure for supplying energy and water as well as adequate wastewater treatment systems are of great importance for the economic development of the country. Mobile radio based remote monitoring systems can monitor the infrastructure components of an entire area for the investment of a relatively small sum of money and help to improve their operation in the long-term.

The GECO►C research team is building, along with the Technical University of Bishkek as well as industrial partners from Germany and Kyrgyzstan, an internet and mobile radio-based remote monitoring system for decentralised infrastructure components in Kyrgyzstan. To this end, a wastewater treatment plant for the sewering of a large hotel on Lake Issyk Kul has already been equipped with a modern mobile radio-based remote monitoring system. The aim of the project is the transfer of know how with regard to the construction and operation of systems for the purpose of remote monitoring from Germany to Kyrgyzstan and, as a result, the improvement of the condition of the decentralised infrastructure components in the long term.
