The company’s core products include the construction and operation of data networks, public warning systems, photovoltaic systems supported by the New Green Savings programme, cable television and municipal information channels. The company is also currently strongly focused on system monitoring and telemetry for networks of domestic wastewater treatment plants. It builds municipal networks of domestic treatment plants connected through online monitoring, with remote control of individual plants’ operating states.

In electrical installations, the company is an established supplier of public lighting. The company has continuously designed, installed and serviced rooftop photovoltaic systems since 2009. One prestigious project was the photovoltaic façade of the modern cultural centre in Kozienice, Poland.

The company has long been actively involved in research and development projects in cooperation with Czech public universities , including Brno University of Technology’s Faculty of Civil Engineering, AdMaS Research Centre and Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication; Palacký University Olomouc’s Faculty of Science; VSB – Technical University of Ostrava; and the Faculty of Environmental Technology at the University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague.

SATTURN HOLEŠOV is currently setting nationwide trends in “Decentralised wastewater treatment with a telemetry control system” for rural areas and outlying urban districts where centralised sewerage is not cost-effective. This technology enables municipal networks of domestic treatment plants connected through online monitoring, with remote control of each plant’s operating states.

An extension to the technology provides remote water meter readings, giving operators an online overview of consumption 24/7. The module also connects to telemetry for monitoring and controlled pumping of reservoirs and drinking water treatment facilities.

The company also initiated the certified methodology “Security Measures for Sewer Networks”, prepared by the AdMaS Research Centre at Brno University of Technology’s Faculty of Civil Engineering. It is currently participating in the research and development project “A system for automated monitoring and modelling of groundwater pollution from non-point industrial sources”.

Another popular company product is the AVST Channel PRO software application, used to create, schedule and broadcast municipal information channels on cable television, as well as corporate and school audiovisual channels.

The company is proud to hold the “Visionary 2019” award and to have won the national “Innovation of the Year 2019” competition for the technology project “Comprehensive system telemetry for municipal networks of domestic wastewater treatment plants and water treatment facilities”. These prestigious awards recognise the innovative project’s technological, social and economic contribution to the environment and water management in the landscape.

For the project “Chimera – a mobile application for encrypted communication between users”, the company received an honourable mention in Visionaries 2019 for its technological and social contribution to privacy protection in electronic communications.

The highest award the company has received to date for its long-term environmental innovation is the Strait of Magellan Award (Chile, South America), presented by Fundación Imagen Chile. The foundation is a non-profit organisation governed by a board headed by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Economy. Its mission is to coordinate the promotion of Chile abroad. To mark the 500th anniversary of the discovery of the Strait of Magellan by the renowned Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, whose expedition first circumnavigated the globe and demonstrated its roundness, the foundation recognises contemporary innovators from around the world.

The Czech recipient is Ing. Jaromír Tomšů, Managing Director of SATTURN HOLEŠOV spol. s r.o., for the ENCELADUS innovation project. Its potential for a positive global impact demonstrates the same spirit of exploration and innovation that inspired Magellan’s expedition 500 years ago.
