How it works

A self-running network that stretches across the site.

One control unit per pump, linked back to a single master, powered by the sun and watched from a browser. Here’s how the pieces fit together.

01 — The control unit

One per pump, powered by the pump

Each pump gets a control unit with a Modbus interface and 4–20mA pressure monitoring, powered directly from the pump it controls — no mains, no separate supply. It starts on inlet pressure, shuts down on abnormal conditions, and always allows manual override. Standalone radio relays, where terrain needs them, run on a 300W solar system with MPPT.

02 — The network

Radio, cellular or satellite

A master unit holds a single internet connection (GSM or satellite). Pump-to-pump links run over a 2.4 GHz radio mesh — up to 5 km per hop on 20-foot masts — with relay points added for terrain. Cellular modems back it up wherever there’s coverage.

03 — The platform

Every network, one login

The web platform turns each deployment into a job you can manage from anywhere: live data every 30 seconds, remote start/stop and speed, historical trends, maintenance alerts and remote transducer calibration.

Built for the conditions

Engineered for distance, heat and isolation.

−40 to +55 °C

Rated for arctic cold through desert heat — exposed environments where equipment normally fails.

Minimal moving parts

Solid-state control with easy field calibration and remote diagnostics.

Networks that scale

Start with a pilot and grow the same platform across many pumps and sites.
