Abstract: Abstract Telecommunication towers have appreciable applications in communication technology. However, they are challenged with system breaks down resulting in fire outbreaks and aviation obstruction light which causes accidents for aircraft at night. Mitigations to curtail these challenges are equally difficult due outskirt location of the tower. Hence, it becomes imperative to set up an automated programmed fire detection system. This paper proposes an IoT_based_system for telecom tower fire detection and aviation obstruction light monitoring to be used in towers everywhere they are implemented. The proposed solution incorporates an automatic fire extinguisher and real-time monitoring of the aviation obstruction light status. The integration of components for sensing the flame, ESP32 WROOM-32D as a microcontroller, Buzzer, the ambient light of the aviation light, darkness sensor, and Pzem-004 t for power control. The global service message module (GSM) was used to alert all tower technicians and firefighters with remote monitoring through mobile applications and web-based. The results showed that the system can detect and extinguish fire, monitor the aviation light for tower safety, make call as well as send Short Message Service (SMS). Therefore, the technicians were safe for the developed system because of the remote system in all telecommunication towers rather go for manually checking without knowing the issue.
