Trilithic launches Seeker BB-2 Automatic Leakage Detection System
Automatic GPS-based system uses breakthrough quadrangulation process to
improve the accuracy of cable leakage detection and increase operational efficiency
Indianapolis (October 22, 2008) – Trilithic Inc. announced the release of the Seeker BB-2 Automatic
Leakage Detection System today. Designed for cable network providers, the system improves the accuracy and
efficiency of cable leak detection with GPS technology and a breakthrough process known as quadrangulation.
Unlike most systems that require operator intervention, the Seeker BB-2 is fully automated. Housed in heavygauge aluminum to withstand the rigors of the road, it’s designed for placement inside cable fleet trucks where it
smoothly and seamlessly detects leaks through a monopole antenna.
The system’s quadrangulation process pinpoints and gauges the relative strength of cable leaks from a distance
with the same accuracy of a technician measuring data from within 10 feet – a real breakthrough in leakage
detection equipment. Most systems don’t detect differences in leakage strengths, nor can they pinpoint leaks
with any accuracy without operator intervention. As a result, leaks are largely identified through customer
reports and often given the same repair priority.
Quadrangulation changes this with a patent-pending analytical process in Trilithic’s Leakage Analysis Workshop
(LAW) software. LAW pinpoints and records the exact location of leaks and computes relative strengths. This
data is automatically uploaded to the LAW server through a WiFi adaptor when a fleet vehicle is parked in a
designated WiFi hot spot. Data for all fleet vehicles is analyzed and processed daily, generating automated
reports that eliminate redundancies and prioritize repairs. This increases overall operational efficiency for the
cable network and improves service to subscribers.
