TELELOG is a spin-off of the University of Athens and began its activities in order to utilise the extensive experience and results of the researchers participating in the corporate group and the scientific team in the field of wireless/mobile communications and applications. 

The company is involved, among other things, in telemetry, the provision of services of specialised security printing with the creation of a system for the wireless interconnection of vehicles with the control centre, as well as temperature measurement systems with the collection of temperature data from remote stations.  More specifically, this system records the quantity of fuel provided by the pumps in order to monitor and subsequently process the results and systems for the remote monitoring of electrical switches. 

In recent years, due to increased interest in the study of the relationship of climate and micro-climatic changes with pollution (atmospheric or noise pollution) in cities and their distribution in the field of a city, emphasis was placed on utilising meteorological data collected from other sources as well, e.g. amateur meteorology stations. The popularity of the Internet and the existence of wireless networks have facilitated the publication of such information, although there are certain problems, due e.g. to the heterogeneity of sources and the quality of data.

Within the framework of the 'New Innovative Entrepreneurship' programme of EPAN II, the company created a front-end showing environmental changes and pollution on a map and the relationship between them. The recording and analysis of pollutants, particles and sound data are analysed and provide data on the level of noise pollution and its changes with environmental parameters. Geographical data received from GPS stations are also recorded and differences in data and against the reference standard are analysed.

The platform consists of special communications software and a database. The communications software is responsible for interconnecting with the network of sensors that collect data (meteorological, sound and particle data) and forwarding them to the database. In conclusion, a web-based application was created in an environment that can be accessed by any user and multiple devices (computers, tablets, smartphones with a browser), where the data are depicted. Users can see the location of measurement stations as well as their status. Through the graphic management environment, users can quickly access all points and monitor data.  The web application supports two languages (English - Greek) and will support new stations in the future. The system also provides the capability of sending e-mail in the case of alarm activation, in addition to visual and audio alert. The software is also capable of issuing results for any combination of search criteria (dynamically). 

Finally, within the framework of the programme, Telelog S.A. completed the measurement station. More specifically, the company incorporated all the equipment, which includes:

* a meteorological station

* a unit measuring particles and air pollutants

* a computer

* an interconnection unit

inside the measurement unit box. The unit can now be relocated and installed in various locations.

The expected results that emerged from the system concern mainly

• The capability of forecasting micro-climatic factorsover a 24-hour period.

• The conducting of preliminary experimental controls of the original scientific micro-climate mapping model in the region of Thessaloniki in order to test its effectiveness and draw important scientific conclusions regarding the expansion of its application to other urban or rural areas.

• The capability of depicting high-resolution climatic scales and pollution indicators in real time both numerically and in terms of monitoring.

• The collection of an enormous quantity of climatic(temperature, humidity, pressure, amount of precipitation, wind speed & direction) and directly relatedenvironmental data (concentration of micro-particles, air pollutants and noise pollutants) for a period until the completion of the project.

The project constitutes a good practice as the company managed, in adverse economic and business conditions, to implement an innovative product with a positive impact on the creation of jobs at the enterprise, theproduction of new products and services and theimprovement of its competitiveness and its environmental footprint. The enterprise is alreadydeveloping partnerships for the sale of the product (e.g. OASTh).

The degree of innovativeness of the proposed system is particularly high: the interactive processing, where users can intervene in various ways and to a great extent in sending, receiving and managing data, the innovative correlation of data based on common data characteristics in order to avoid wasting resources, the dynamic adaptation of multimedia data coding depending on the characteristics of transmission and the use of multi-level design techniques aiming at optimised performance, the synchronisation of various information-means in order to achieve unhindered two-way communication, resulting in its operation being dynamically shaped according to the conditions and the application it is serving at any given time, and the advanced data and user security capabilities provided by the new system.
