Telemetry is becoming an increasingly viable and popular method of data collection in environmental monitoring applications. With advances in communication technologies, such as Low Earth Orbit satellites (LEO), geo-stationary satellites (GEO) and cellular networks, comes a range of exciting new possibilities. HydroTerra is at the forefront of this revolution by offering advanced telemetry systems that can easily be integrated with existing or new sensors.

Here is a list of eight reasons why you should consider upgrading your existing sensors to telemetry.

  1. Remote data collection: Telemetry enables the remote collection of critical environmental data, allowing scientists and researchers to monitor various parameters without physical presence at the monitoring site.
  2. Real-time monitoring: Telemetry systems provide real-time data updates, enabling prompt responses to environmental changes, such as pollution events or extreme weather conditions.
  3. Cost-efficiency: Telemetry reduces the need for frequent on-site visits, saving both time and resources by automating data collection and transmission.
  4. Enhanced accuracy: Continuous data collection through telemetry improves data accuracy compared to manual or sporadic measurements, reducing the risk of data gaps or human errors.
  5. Early warning systems: Telemetry can be used to establish early warning systems for natural disasters like floods, forest fires, and earthquakes, helping to protect communities and ecosystems.
  6. Long-term trend analysis: Telemetry allows for the collection of data over extended periods, facilitating the analysis of long-term environmental trends and changes.
  7. Remote and inaccessible locations: Telemetry is particularly valuable in monitoring environments that are difficult to access, such as deep-sea ecosystems, remote forests, or hazardous areas.
  8. Resource management: Telemetry supports sustainable resource management by providing data on water level, water quality, soil conditions, and air pollution levels, aiding in informed decision-making.
