SolSat 5 Satellite Telemetry

Discover Anywhere Monitoring
Using Global Connectivity with Iridium Satellite Technology

• System set-up is done wirelessly using a smartphone or laptop
• Compact and weatherproof housing for deployment in any environment and long-term application
• Secure and convenient data transmission and alarm alerts through TextAnywhere
• Reports barometrically compensated water level data
• Remotely monitor battery level with each data report
• Less need to travel to remote, hard-to-reach, or hazardous locations
• Text and email through satellite provide safety and convenience when working in remote locations

SolSat 5 Satellite Telemetry is an advanced telemetry system that leverages Iridium satellite technology to provide global connectivity for your remote water monitoring projects. The SolSat 5 is simple to set up with Solinst dataloggers using an integral, secure Wi-Fi App on your smartphone or laptop.

The SolSat 5 is compact, lightweight, and features a robust weatherproof enclosure. It is installed anywhere with very little site preparation, saving costs and time in the field. A built-in solar panel extends the battery life.

SolSat 5 Satellite Telemetry connects to one Solinst Levelogger 5 datalogger or LevelVent 5. The built-in barometric sensor allows for automatically compensated water level data from the field. Along with water level, temperature, conductivity, or barometric data, battery voltage from the remote SolSat 5 is received with each data report.

 

SolSat 5 Satellite Telemetry Features:

• Simple set-up
• Low-cost data plans
• Internal barometer
• Built-in solar panel
• Alarm options
• Secure data management
• Email or text from anywhere

 

 

How to Use SolSat 5 Satellite Telemetry

SolSat 5 batteries are charged by the built-in solar panel; you can also use the convenient USB connector cable.

Select a low-cost data plan of your choice through Solinst – sampling rate to collect data from the connected datalogger and a report rate to send data via satellite transmission.

Interface with the SolSat 5 using the simple and intuitive built-in Wi-Fi App on any smart device or laptop. The app allows viewing, scheduling and configuration wirelessly from your browser. Set high or low-level alarms for the datalogger.

Data is transmitted using the TextAnywhere two-way global satellite messaging service – this also allows you to text or email through the Wi-Fi App, providing convenience and safety when at remote sites.

Data logs get transmitted to a secure web portal for storage, viewing or export; the website is also for project and alarm management.
