Trakka Systems is pleased to announce that it has received an order for five SWE-400 QUAD TrakkaCams from Western Power Distribution. Western Power Distribution is the company responsible for electricity distribution in the Midlands, South West and South Wales of the UK, with a network comprising 220,000 km of overhead lines and underground cables, and 185,000 substations.

“We are extremely pleased that Trakka’s SWE-400 QUAD has been selected by a such a major electricity distributor following competitive tender, to effect airborne inspections of their vast network from H135 helicopters.
