Typical Applications

Environmental monitoring: integration of wired sensors into LoRaWAN® monitoring networks.
Water and wastewater applications: remote acquisition from field instruments using analog, pulse, Modbus RTU or SDI-12 interfaces.
Agricultural and soil monitoring: connection of outdoor sensors where long-range, low-power transmission is required.
Industrial site monitoring: data acquisition from existing wired equipment without replacing the complete measurement chain.
Remote infrastructure monitoring: outdoor installations requiring robust enclosure protection and flexible power supply options.

Why choose UC50x Series

The UC50x Series is a practical solution for connecting wired sensors and field instruments to a LoRaWAN® network without redesigning the complete measurement architecture. Its combination of multiple industrial interfaces, IP68 protection, flexible power options and local data backup makes it well suited for distributed environmental, industrial and infrastructure monitoring projects.

For Canadian deployments, ES Canada can support the selection of the appropriate UC50x version according to the available sensor outputs, power constraints, installation environment and LoRaWAN® network architecture.
