Why Upgrade?

Standard breakers protect wires. We protect the entire connection.

OLED Diagnostics

0.91" high-contrast PMOLED display built into the face. See Amps, Volts, and Trip Codes instantly.

Thermal Guard™

Internal NTC thermistors monitor lug temperature. If a loose screw causes a glowing connection (>90°C), we trip before it burns.

Hardline PLC

HomePlug Green PHY over existing copper. Rock-solid local communication (optional ESP32 Wi-Fi module for commissioning + LAN dashboards).

HTTP/SSH Root Access

Local HTTP server or SSH to the Gateway. Ownership-first design with local integrations.

SNMP / SCADA / Modbus TCP

Industrial-grade integration. Poll status, voltage, and amps via standard protocols.

GE THQP Retrofit

1/2" wafer form factor. Designed to upgrade millions of existing GE Q-Line panels without a panel swap.

AES-128 Security

Local encryption for all packets. Your power data stays local and secure.

Remote Re-Close

Safely re-energize circuits remotely (Pro models). Includes auto-verify diagnostics before closing.

Revenue Metering ANSI C12.20

High-precision metering embedded on the breaker. Track energy usage down to the watt.

OPTIONAL WIRELESS MODULE

ESP32 Add-On Wi-Fi (Open Source)

Powerline (HomePlug Green PHY) is the default transport for rock-solid local communications. When you need wireless commissioning, a laptop/phone dashboard, or a LAN bridge in a difficult install, you can add the ESP32 module to the Sentinel™ Outlet or directly inside the THQP-S Breaker. No cloud. No app lock-in.

CAPABILITIES

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Zero-Trust Edge Architecture

Most smart breakers rely on the cloud. If the internet goes down, they become dumb. The WestNet THQP-S contains a Dual-Core 32-bit MCU on every single pole.

Decentralized Logic

Trip decisions are made on-device in microseconds. Thermal analysis happens locally.

Physical Isolation

High-voltage and low-voltage logic are galvanically isolated (4kV rating) to protect the MCU from surges.

THERMAL GUARD™

The "Silent Fire" Killer.

Standard breakers detect over-current. They cannot detect a glowing connection — where a loose wire creates intense heat without drawing excess amps.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Abdou Traya

Founder & CEO, WestNet Wireless

Abdou Traya founded WestNet in Calgary in 2001 at age 19, building the city's first community Wi-Fi network — years before municipal wireless was a concept anywhere in Canada. By 2006, WestNet launched Calgary's first city-wide commercial Wi-Fi network in partnership with WiLAN — founded by Dr. Hatim Zaghloul, a friend of Abdou's and the inventor of W-OFDM, who holds numerous foundational patents at the core of Wi-Fi, modems, and cellular technology. Together they covered 20 km² of Calgary.

The THQP-S 1515 smart breaker was inspired by a neighbour — a Master Electrician, the highest-qualified class of electrician authorized to hold permits and oversee complex electrical projects. His real-world insight into panel-level problems sparked the idea that became the 1515.

Operating under WestNet N.A., Abdou leads WestNet Wireless — a vertically integrated operation spanning wireless ISP infrastructure, RF engineering, embedded hardware development, and telecommunications. From designing proprietary antenna systems and building tower sites to developing the THQP-S smart breaker, his work bridges the gap between telecom-grade connectivity and electrical distribution.

With over 25 years in wireless networking, Abdou brings hands-on expertise in everything from physical layer radio design to full-stack product engineering — the same foundation behind the innovations on this page.
