8500mAh Battery for long term use
GroPoint™ Profile sensors are powered by patented TDT5 Technology providing exceptionally accurate and reliable results.
Applications:
Smart Agriculture
The GroPoint™ Air solution integrates a GroPoint™ Profile multi-depth soil moisture sensor with a LoRaWAN radio transceiver, antenna and battery to provide an integrated wireless soil moisture profile measurement solution.
A LoRaWan network or gateway is required for the GroPoint™ Air endpoints to connect to. The data collected from the remote sensors is upload over the LoRaWan network to a cloud based solution that captures and displays the soil moisture profile readings.
A fixed measurement interval is set on the GroPoint™ Air device. The interval can be change remotely over the network connection.
No external power source is required. The unit is powered by an 8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery designed for long term use. Depending on the sensor selected, outside operating temperatures, and the measurement interval selected the unit can operate for several years on battery.
The LoRa wireless technology used in GroPoint™ Air allows devices to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data-rates. It provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimizing current consumption.
