Indigo Systems IS105 long range node

Our flagship product, the core of any Indigo mesh network is the IS105 long range node. These nodes can be placed anywhere you need an environmental measurement point taken. Simply attach the sensors and the network will automatically configure itself and begin transmitting. Effortless!

The IS105 long range node has the following features:

• delivers you the data you need, securely and in real time
• additional nodes and sensors can be added or subtracted whenever required
• each node supports up to 8 single-line identity sensors
• automatic network configuration - no manual setup
• transmission range up to a kilometer with line-of-sight to a neighboring transmitter
• one year operation on a single battery charge
• uses publically available, free bandwidth - zero transmission cost
• extreme weather resistance

The nodes come complete with universal mounting hardware to suit a large range of post shapes and materials. Power options include rechargable battery pack or solar panel, available separately.

Hardware controllers

Indigo Systems provides a range of custom controllers for remotely activating any type of environmental hardware. Make use of the valuable environmental data you are collecting and get it working for you.

Typical applications for Indigo sense-and-control networks include:

• Irrigation control: Monitor soil moisture, humidity and/or air temperature to remotely actuate irrigation systems only when needed, saving large amounts of water
• Frost protection: Monitor air temperature and humidity in multiple locations to accurately warn of approaching frost fronts or frost conditions. Remotely activate wind or water frost protection systems
• Commercial automation: Many building and services automation tasks, e.g. HVAC, are highly suitable and economic using Indigo networks

Indigo takes the reliability of your system very seriously. In mission-critical applications we commonly operate secondary monitoring devices to confirm that the systems you want controlled are actually behaving like they ought to be.

Sensors

Indigo Systems can supply a wide range of sensors for gathering any type of environmental data you are interested in. Up to eight sensors can be attached to a single node. Standard, one-wire sensors we commonly supply:

• air temperature
• soil moisture
• humidity
• air pressure
• wind speed
• wind direction

It is straightforward for us to add any sensor of your choice to our nodes. Please contact us to find out how we can help you satisfy your sensing requirements.
