Boreholes, reservoirs, pump stations and river gauges are where you need data and where grid power and signal are hardest to get. addanode monitors them on solar power and low-power radio, buffering through load shedding — so a remote asset reports its own level, flow and status, and you stop making the trip just to read a gauge.
Reservoir and tank level, borehole level, flow, pressure and pump status — the numbers that previously needed a site visit.
A modest solar panel and battery run a low-power node indefinitely, reporting over LoRaWAN or NB-IoT — no grid, no airtime-hungry link.
Edge buffering through outages and poor signal, with alerts on a sudden level drop, a dry-run pump or an abnormal reading.
The discipline that matters: size for the worst week, not the average. A node sized to survive a cloudy winter spell runs for years; one sized to summer averages fails exactly when the weather turns.
For how to size solar so it survives winter, see our solar-powered remote monitoring guide.
