Outdoor Environmental Monitoring

The Value of New Visibility:

Highly-efficient and robust wireless networking is even more important in outdoor settings where lack of power and protection from the harsh environmental conditions are essential. Often, the areas being monitored are remote and difficult to access so remote manageability and long battery life are critical components of a robust solution. Increasingly, new developments are moving human populations closer to hazardous areas and the ability to ensure that hazardous materials stay contained is becoming more important.

Solution:

Arch Rock's low power, long lived wireless sensor networking gives users the ability to monitor the environmental conditions of an outdoor location or region from anywhere there is an internet connection. By providing seamless IP connectivity across multiple uplink media, Arch Rock customers are able to monitor a variety of environmental conditions and stay connected at all times. Arch Rock sensors are being used to measure temperature inside wells, detecting dangerous and noxious gases and monitoring the structural integrity of pipelines.

Key Components:

  • Arch Rock Gateway Server and Management Software
  • Arch Rock IPv6-based Mesh Networking
  • Arch Rock Sensor Nodes and Embedded Software
  • Sensor types:
    • RTDs (Temperature)
    • Light
