The FreeWave Technologies FGRCP cathodic protection remote monitoring radio is a multi-purpose, spread spectrum, board level product with specific inputs and outputs for monitoring and reporting operational values on pipelines, tanks, structures, and other underground facilities subject to environmental corrosion. Designed to be compatible with other FreeWave radio products, the FGRCP is ideal for pipeline and tank companies wishing to extend their investment in telemetry automation to cathodic protection structures as well.

The FGRCP radio monitors pipe-topsoil test stations, rectifier stations, pipeline pressure stations and pipeline scrubbing stations. The FGRCP board level radio is available in a preassembled LineMarker Test Station complete with solar power system, antenna and conduit mounting bracket. The FGRCP has no recurring monthly costs or fees.
