What the 2G Switch-Off Means for Tank Monitoring

Why 2G equipment needs replacing

Many older tank level monitoring systems were built around 2G connectivity, but those networks are now being phased out. That means legacy equipment will eventually stop reporting tank levels, sending alarms, and providing the remote visibility operators rely on.

For sites still using older 2G-connected systems, this creates a clear need to upgrade before service disruption becomes a real issue.

What this means for your system

If 2G-based gauges or loggers are left in place, sites could face:

• Loss of remote tank level visibility
• No leak, theft, or refill alerts
• No reporting or historical data
• Greater operational risk
• Unexpected downtime and avoidable disruption

For customers relying on accurate fuel monitoring, that can quickly become a serious issue.

The HYTEK solution: 4G web loggers and web-enabled gauges

To avoid disruption, HYTEK offers a clear upgrade path through our 4G web loggers and web-enabled gauges.

These solutions are designed to replace older 2G-based monitoring systems with a more future-ready approach to tank management. By moving to 4G-connected equipment, customers can maintain remote visibility while benefiting from improved connectivity, updated software, and better day-to-day access to tank data.

Why upgrade to HYTEK 4G web loggers and web-enabled gauges?

• Reliable 4G connectivity
• Remote access to tank data
• 24/7 visibility through the YourGauge portal
• Configurable alarms for theft, refill, sudden loss, and low level events
• Improved reporting and export options
• Flexible connection options, including 4–20mA and Modbus
• A more future-ready monitoring solution
• Support and training on the latest software

Web-enabled gauges for connected tank monitoring

Our web-enabled gauges give customers a smarter way to monitor tank levels remotely. Through the improved YourGauge portal, users can check tank status, review data, and keep track of installations from anywhere in the world.

They also provide the same trusted gauge performance customers already know, while adding a more connected, modern approach to remote tank monitoring.

4G web loggers for upgrading older sites

For existing sites running on legacy 2G monitoring equipment, our 4G web loggers offer a practical replacement solution. They are ideal for customers who want to maintain remote monitoring capability while moving away from discontinued or soon-to-be-obsolete 2G technology.

This makes them a strong choice for phased upgrades, fleet-wide replacements, or sites where continuity is critical.

Why act now?

Upgrading now helps avoid last-minute replacements and gives customers time to plan the best solution for each site. It also reduces the risk of losing remote monitoring capability as network changes continue.

By moving early, customers can protect site operations, maintain tank visibility, and transition to a more reliable monitoring platform with minimal disruption.

We can support with:

• Recommending the correct replacement product
• Providing pricing based on site setup
• Supporting phased or full upgrades
• Demonstrating the latest software and portal
• Helping customers move from legacy 2G systems to a more future-ready solution
