The BAB-E air monitoring beacon is used for surveillance around nuclear facilities or for national monitoring
The BAB-E fixed beacon is used for continuous monitoring of artificial Alpha and Beta aerosols, in Gamma environments as well as in the presence of natural Radon descendants. It has a double cover that allows it to withstand the most extreme climatic conditions for uninterrupted use outdoors (territorial surveillance, nuclear infrastructures, etc.). The data collected by the BAB-E can be accessed remotely and in real time on the DataEXPERT supervision software.
