Abstract:
The disclosed system may include (1) a plurality of monitoring devices, where each of the plurality of monitoring devices is located at a different location along a powerline conductor and may include (a) at least one detection component that detects at least one physical characteristic at the location of the monitoring device along the powerline conductor, and (b) a transmitter that wirelessly transmits data indicating the at least one physical characteristic, and (2) a data injection device that (a) wirelessly receives the data indicating the at least one physical characteristic detected by the plurality of monitoring devices at the different locations along the powerline conductor, (b) transforms the data into an optical signal, and (c) injects the optical signal onto a fiber optic cable for transmission to a data collection subsystem. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 16):
A method comprising:\n detecting, by a plurality of monitoring devices, at least one physical characteristic associated with a powerline conductor, wherein each of a plurality of clamping devices that clamps a fiber optic cable to the powerline conductor at different locations along the powerline conductor comprises one of the plurality of monitoring devices; wirelessly transmitting, by each of the plurality of monitoring devices, data indicating the at least one physical characteristic associated with the powerline conductor detected at the associated monitoring device; wirelessly receiving and retransmitting, by at least one of the plurality of monitoring devices, a portion of the data indicating the at least one physical characteristic associated with the powerline conductor detected by at least one other of the plurality of monitoring devices; wirelessly receiving, by a data injection device of an optical fiber splice case, the data indicating the at least one physical characteristic associated with the powerline conductor detected at the plurality of monitoring devices; transforming, by the data injection device, the data into an optical signal; and injecting, by the data injection device, the optical signal onto the fiber optic cable for transmission to a data collection subsystem.
