Telemetry Monitoring
We engineer battery-powered telemetry nodes that collect pressure, flow, and level metrics from distant utility lines and stream updates via LPWAN networks.
Remote Sensing Hurdles
Utility lines and remote sites face significant data gathering challenges:
- No Grid Power: Remote monitoring sites lack access to mains power.
- Harsh Weather: Exposure to rain, sun, and temperature extremes.
- Weak Cell Coverage: Standard cell networks fail in remote locations.
- High Cost of Inspection: Sending teams to manually read meters is expensive.
Thinkfinity LPWAN Nodes
We deploy battery-powered nodes with long-range radio connectivity:
- 5-Year Battery Life: Low-power processors and smart sleep algorithms.
- Sealed NEMA Cases: IP67/IP68 enclosures protect against dust and moisture.
- LoRa & NB-IoT: Long-range radios connect in weak signal areas.
- Automated Ingestion: Continuous reporting eliminates manual readings.

How the Telemetry System Connects
Our remote telemetry node collects sensor metrics and transmits data over long distances:
- Analog Loops: Reads standard 4-20mA or 0-10V industrial sensor inputs.
- Data Processing: Digitizes readings and buffers logs locally in Flash memory.
- LPWAN Transmission: Sends encrypted data chunks to gateways via LoRaWAN or NB-IoT.
