Description

Cellwatch Frontier is the utility-focused battery monitoring platform engineered for substations and other mission-critical sites. It automates daily monitoring to meet NERC PRC-005-06 compliance, eliminating the need for manual testing and reducing the associated costs and risks of site visits.

With native DNP3 integration, Frontier connects directly to SCADA systems, eliminating the need for converters or middleware. It tracks internal resistance, voltage, current, temperature, strap resistance, and ripple, providing complete visibility into battery health while the system remains online.

Frontier is built for scale, capable of managing dozens of modules and hundreds of measurement points across utility, telecom, or enterprise installations. Designed for long service life, it delivers reliable compliance reporting and predictive insight for the most demanding environments.
