The coverage is depending on the location, the crop, and the distance between the crop and the antenna.
- Outdoors – As a rule, the higher the antenna, the better the overage. We have achieved over 1km (0,6miles) in dense raspberry plants without any data loss.
- Indoor – Besides the type of crop, is the coverage determined by the size and height of the greenhouse. As a rule of thumb, one receiver in vegetables can cover 2-2,5 ha. The coverage for strawberry in a glasshouse is significantly better.
The installation of the receiver is super simple (‘Plug & Play’):
- The receiver only has to be installed and plugged.
- The enclosure is designed to attach the receiver in different ways making it very versatile.
- We pre-programme the WiFi details before installation ensuring it works out of the box.
The receiver is designed to ensure all data is sent to the cloud:
- Buffering – In case the internet connection fails, the receiver will buffer all measurements until the connection is restored. All buffered data will then be sent to the cloud. This ensures that no data will be lost.
- Self-healing – In case of a failure, the receiver will automatically restart to minimise the delay in sending data to the cloud.
- Pro-actieve monitoring – All receivers are pro-actively monitored by us. In the event a receiver goes offline, we will inform our customers so they can take immediate action. This helps to minimise downtime and data loss.
- Remote updates – We make sure that all receivers have the latest software. Software updates are done remotely without the help of our customers.
The receiver can be used anywhere in the world.
- The enclosure is waterproof making it possible to use it indoor (greenhouse) out outdoors (open field).
- The receiver can handle all type of mains voltages used around the world. And we supply the right power socket.
- We support different types of wireless network frequencies between the sensor and the receiver that complies with the local regulations.
