Solar-powered farm monitoring

Farm-Mesh™

Field sensors and repeaters form a low-power farm network for soil, tank level, and water pressure readings, then report back to the bridge node on the farmer's desk.

Irrigation data from the field to your phone.

Farm-Mesh brings irrigation data from the field to your mobile phone, so you stay informed even when you are not at the pump, tank, or crop row. It records the data as it comes in, making it easier to spot trends, pressure changes, dry-down patterns, and issues that may have happened overnight.

Stay informed off-field

Check soil, tank, and pressure readings without driving out to each monitoring point.

See trends and overnight issues

Recorded readings help show what changed while nobody was standing in the field.

Start small, no recurring fees

Begin with one field or water point, then grow the mesh without Farm-Mesh recurring fees.

How it works

Sensor readings hop across the farm until they reach the bridge.

Farm-Mesh is built for practical rural coverage: place sensors where the work happens, add repeaters where the signal needs help, and collect the readings through the bridge node back at the farm desk.

01

Measure

Soil, level, and pressure nodes collect readings at the edge of the field.

02

Repeat

Repeater nodes extend the mesh when buildings, distance, or terrain get in the way.

03

Bridge

The desk bridge node gathers traffic and makes it available through the Farm-Mesh web experience.

Nodes and sensors for farm infrastructure.

Start small, then add repeaters and sensor nodes around tanks, lines, and soil blocks as the mesh grows.

Pole-mounted repeater

The solar repeater mounts to a pole with the supplied stainless brackets and clamp, keeping the panel, antenna, and radio above obstructions.

Illustration of a Solar Level-Sensor

Tank level monitoring

A level probe drops into the tank, the node stays mounted above the waterline, and a solar panel keeps the site reporting.

Soil-probe placement

Prepare the soil pocket, place the three-prong probe, then water the backfill so the sensor reads the surrounding soil consistently.

Water pressure monitoring

A double clamp keeps the manual gauge on one side for fallback readings, with the pressure probe opposite and cabled to the solar transmitter.
