ABSTRACT: The aim of this research is to design a security system capable of monitoring, diagnosing anomalies, predicting failures, and optimizing operations in isolated GSM sites using sensor systems. In remote areas of Burkina Faso, the reliability and security of telecommunications infrastructure is crucial to ensure continuous and efficient connectivity. Operators use GSM stations to provide communication services across the country, even in the most remote areas. To maintain the performance and integrity of equipment, the implementation of supervision and control systems is essential. This research focuses on the physical security of equipment and is important because it will allow monitoring and having real-time information on isolated GSM infrastructures with limited energy sources. We use Arduino, a SCADA system and temperature sensors to design the system architecture and C++ language for coding. The expected result is the implementation of a sensor-based security system to allow administrators to be always alert via a signal relay from GSM sites to the telephone operator.
