Hardware
The equipment in your field
Professional, wireless, worry-free — installed, calibrated and maintained by us, included in the subscription.
Temporary, fully removable install — no permanent foundations and no building permit needed.
The soil station
A professional probe buried at the depth your crop needs and calibrated on site.
- Soil moisture (VWC) and soil temperature
- Salt in the soil (conductivity, EC) on irrigated parcels or salty soils
- Long-range radio signal (LoRaWAN) — no cables, no SIM; built-in battery lasting up to 10 years
- Outdoor enclosure, checked at the annual visit
The wireless 8-in-1 weather station
It stands on its own weighted tripod next to the parcels — this is where we learn how much water the crop loses through evaporation (ET₀) and where the irrigation plan comes from.
- Air temperature, humidity and pressure
- Wind speed and direction, rain sensor (rain gauge)
- Light and UV index
- Solar-and-battery powered, long-range radio signal (LoRaWAN)
The LoRaWAN gateway
The brain of the field network — gathers every station's readings and sends them to the platform.
- Kilometres of range to the field stations
- 4G link — independent of the farm's internet
- 6 m mast on a ground screw
- Solar panel and battery — fully off-grid
All equipment remains our property and under our guarantee — installation, maintenance and replacement are included in the subscription.
How it all connects
The soil stations and the weather station need neither mains power nor internet: they measure on a fixed interval and send the readings by long-range radio (LoRaWAN) to the gateway on the mast. The gateway is the only point that reaches the internet, over 4G, and it carries the data to servers in the EU. In practice: if the farm's internet drops, the field network keeps going.
The number of stations is not a fixed figure. Every parcel gets at least one, and the network is denser on sandy soils and rolling ground, where water does not behave the same from one end of the field to the other. Depths follow the crop — 30-50 cm for wheat, up to 80-120 cm for sunflower.
Installation and maintenance
We do the install: a 6 m mast on a ground screw, the weather station on its own weighted tripod, the probes buried at the crop's depth and calibrated on site, in your soil. We come back annually for service and recalibration. The equipment stays our property, so replacing a failed part costs you nothing extra — it is already in the subscription.
