µMETOS NB-IoT
μMETOS NB-IoT is a LPWAN weather station that operates on NB-IoT network (Narrowband Internet of Things), corresponding SIM-card required.
It is designed to monitor basic climate parameters (rain and temperature), soil characteristics (soil moisture, soil temperature and electrical conductivity), as well as water pressure.
µMETOS NBIoT weather station supports all our most commonly used sensors, supporting long range data transmissions via the CatM1 or NB1 mobile networks enabling field monitoring in remote locations where previously inaccessible.
Data is consistently measured in 15-minute intervals and sent every 60 minutes to the server. All the data is synchronized with FieldClimate.
It supports multiple different sensors connected to the same unit and the list of supported sensors grows with each new software release. Using the latest generation of LTE-M (CatM1) and NBIoT (NB1) mobile network connectivity it allows installation of the product far from the mobile network towers, supporting transmissions of latest and older data records.
- Multiple sensors connected to the same base unit
- Long range mobile connectivity
- Low power consumption
- Long Term Product with guaranteed updates
