What ETG does

ETG S.r.l. is an Italian environmental monitoring and remote-control systems integrator founded in 1984 in cooperation with the Italian National Research Council's Agrometeorology and Environmental Analysis Institute (I.A.T.A.), headquartered in Scandicci (Florence), Italy. The company designs, manufactures, and commissions proprietary sensors (radar, ultrasonic, and piezometric hydrometric sensors RLS/ULS/PLS, weighing rain gauges, tide gauges, geophones, ecometers, thermal and video cameras, multi-parameter water quality probes), together with its own iLogger/iEngine data acquisition units, LoRaWAN gateways, and the WinNET7 management software platform (with Video, Alarm, Hydraulic, Consumption Monitoring, and Water specialized packages). End-to-end systems cover agrometeorology, hydrology, automation and remote control, fire monitoring, road safety, water quality, geomorphological monitoring, and meteorology, with mixed communication backbones (UHF radio, GPRS, satellite / EUMETCAST, LoRaWAN).

ETG's primary customers are regional and municipal Civil Protection agencies (Puglia Region Civil Defence with 170+ stations, Marches Region with 140+ stations, Municipalities of Genoa and Imola, ARPA / ARPAe environmental agencies), agricultural water management Consorzi di Bonifica (Cellina Meduna, Garda Chiese, Canale Lunense, Est Ticino Villoresi), infrastructure operators (Autostrade per l'Italia ice-monitoring system operating since 1996), and energy companies (Enel Green Power piezometric monitoring). Outside Italy, ETG has delivered World Bank-funded projects including an Albanian Ministry of the Interior hydro-meteorological network.

ETG's revenue model is built on custom-engineered hardware, professional installation and commissioning services, and recurring 24/7 managed maintenance contracts, priced per project via dedicated commercial and engineering channels ([email protected], [email protected]). Sales cycle is enterprise and government-tender based, supported by LinkedIn presence, industry conferences (notably AIAM), and detailed case-study marketing. The company is privately held by founders/management, with €115,000 stated share capital, no institutional investment rounds, and an estimated installed base exceeding 2,000 reading/remote-control stations and 10,000 sensors across roughly 100 radio repeaters and 130 operations centres.
