Our Solution

Our solution is twofold: A set of wireless stations that can be equipped with any set of sensors, and Climaps, our data hosting and visualization system.

Wireless Distributed Sensor Networks

On The Field: Plug-and-Play Stations

Sensorscope stations have been specifically designed to be easily and quickly deployable: no configuration nor programming is needed. They can be deployed in less than 20 mn by two persons on all types of terrains.

Under some restrictions, the stations may arbitrarily be placed, moved, or removed according to your requirements. They auto-organize into a wireless network to transfer data in a multi-hop fashion to their master station, which is in charge of sending this data to the servers.

The advantages of our stations over traditional data loggers are numerous:

  • Low Cost. Thanks to the resource sharing inside the network, only the master station has higher energy consumption and needs to be equipped with a larger battery and a larger solar panel.
  • Low Consumption. Slave stations are powered by 4 standard NiMH recharchable batteries.
  • Large Spatial Coverage. Stations communicate in a multi-hop fashion, and do not have to be placed in the vicinity of the master station. Communication range goes up to 1.5 Km.
  • High Versatility. Up to 50 sensors can be plugged into a station. This is ideal to create soil profiles with one station and multiple soil sensors.
  • Real-Time Visualization. GPRS master stations transmit data every 15 mn.
  • Global Synchronization. All our stations are worldwide synchronized on the UTC and sample sensors right at the same time, allowing for high-precision data analysis.
  • Network Backup. Master stations back up the data of their whole associated network, saving you from the strenuous task of going through all the stations.

 

In Your Office: Ubiquitous and Secure Data Access

Climaps integrates the latest web technologies to offer an easy-to-use and visually appealing interface, to let you visualize and manipulate your data without any effort. No additional software is required for this: you can access your data from any computer with an Internet connection. If you wish so, a copy of your data can be directly sent to your own servers so that you can have a backup in your office.

Once again, the advantages of choosing Climaps as your data hosting solution are numerous:

  • Ubiquitous Access. Access your data from anywhere in the world at any time using any web-enabled device, from a computer to a smart phone.
  • Data Sharing. Define your data sharing policy in a few clicks, to let your worldwide collaborators access the data you want without cumbersome file transfers.
  • Centralized Data Storage. All your data can be found in one single place. Forget about looking for that one data logger you cannot find and that used to be somewhere in your office.
  • Handsfree. We take care of all technical aspects, such as setting up a server or hosting data, to let you focus on data analysis.
  • No Hidden Cost. Forget about the costs of installation, maintenance, backup, or scalability. Climaps is an all-in-one package.
  • Data Safety. We take care of backing up your data.
