Six sensors, one device

The most affordable FS11  LoRa sensor measures important soil and microclimate data

  • Highly accurate soil moisture sensors at 0-10cm, 10-20cm and 20-30cm depth.
  • Air temperature and air humidity below the crop canopy for reliable disease pressure monitoring
  • Top layer soil temperature at 10 cm deep.
  • Low energy usage. Operates over a year on a simple replaceable battery.
  • Wireless data transmission with LoRA (requires a LoRaWAN gateway within a range of 1-2km outside The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Finland and Switzerland).
Seven sensors, modular design, global connectivity

The modular FS21 NB-IoT/LTE-M sensor with global plug-and-play connectivity

Communication module
  • Sim card enabled wireless communication on existing telecom networks that support NB-IoT and LTE-M (check this map for global support)
  • Air temperature and air humidity below the crop canopy for reliable disease pressure monitoring
  • Low-energy usage. Has a rechargeable battery that is solar panel compatible.
  • Supports over the air firmware updates for extended lifetime
  • Can be connected to existing sensors
Soil moisture add-on
  • Highly accurate soil moisture sensors at 0-10cm, 10-20cm and 20-30cm depth.
  • Air temperature and air humidity below the crop canopy for reliable disease pressure monitoring
  • Top layer soil temperature at 10 cm and 20 cm.

Measure at greater depths

The DS10 can measure at a flexible lenght

  • Highly accurate soil moisture sensor at flexible depth.
  • Soil temperature at flexible depth.
  • Electrical conductivity at flexible depth.
  • Low energy usage. Operates at least 3 years on non-replaceable battery.
  • Sim card enabled wireless communication on existing telecom networks that support NB-IoT exclusively (check this map for global support)
Monitor stored products

BSP10 Multipurpose weather station and storage probe

  • Use for stored products or as a weather station during the season
  • Air temperature and air humidity at 80cm.
  • Temperature at the end of the 100cm tip.
  • Low-energy usage. Operates at least 3 years on non-replaceable battery.
  • Wireless data transmission with LoRA (requires a LoRaWAN gateway within a range of 1-2 km outside The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Finland and Switzerland).
