1.  microPowerRadio™ (µPR)

A range of small, highly efficient microPowerRadio™ (µPR) radio products with integrated or external sensors, and 10 year battery life. Up to 150m range. Suitable for Intrinsically Safe applications. Base stations can have cellular or lower cost telephone PSTN connections. Optional in-built sensors for temperature, humidity, pressure, vacuum, vibration & angular position. Many potential applications in industry and in factory production & machinery maintenance. Substantial reduction in total installed cost of radio networks due to elimination of wiring especially in retrofit applications.

2.  Pump Monitoring Unit (PMU)

Pump monitoring unit for the monitoring and control of up to 3 pumps used in water supply, drainage, flood control, waste water, irrigation and frost protection systems. Includes single cable connection to MultiTrode™ controllers.

3.  Soil moisture / irrigation management (IMS)

Remote site moisture, temperature and rainfall monitoring for management of irrigation systems used for pasture, cropping or recreational facilities. Includes pump monitoring, flow totalling & external reporting. Optional remote control from cell phone / PDA.

4.  Solar-powered ultrasonic level sensing

Solar powered radio telemetry system for monitoring sewerage pond levels. Loncel SRR directly drives ultrasonic level sensor and reports hourly to Loncel PMU-monitored pump station 1km away.
