Stygo 5 Geotechnical Vibrating Wire Telemetry Hub: Compact, powerful, and built for the field

STYGO 5 – Geotechnical Vibrating Wire Telemetry Hub

The Stygo 5 Geotechnical Vibrating Wire Telemetry Hub, stands out as a cutting-edge solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern monitoring applications. Whether you’re overseeing tailings storage facilities, dam safety, slope stability, or infrastructure projects, the Stygo 5 delivers unmatched performance and versatility.

The Stygo 5 is proudly Australian-made, reflecting a commitment to quality and innovation. Its compact form factor (45mm x 55mm x 120mm) makes it ideal for installations where space is limited, while its robust design ensures durability in harsh field conditions. Despite its small size, the device packs a powerful punch with multi-communications capability, ultra-low power consumption, and flexible power options including internal rechargeable batteries, external packs, or direct solar input.

At its core, the Stygo 5 is a multi-channel telemetry hub that reads vibrating wire and temperature sensors. It transmits frequency and temperature measurements wirelessly to HydroTerra’s DataStream web portal via either LTE or the Iridium Satellite Network. This dual connectivity ensures reliable data transmission even in remote or challenging environments. The Iridium network, with its 66 active Low-Earth Orbit satellites, offers low-latency, near real-time communication, making it ideal for critical monitoring applications.

One of the standout features of the Stygo 5 is its patented well-cap device, which simplifies installation significantly. Additionally, the unit supports Bluetooth connectivity for quick and easy configuration via a free mobile app available on both Android and iOS. Users can adjust settings, transmission rates, and alarms on-site, and even perform over-the-air firmware updates, reducing the need for physical maintenance.

HydroTerra’s DataStream platform complements the Stygo 5 by offering a modular, cloud-based interface for data visualization, alerts, and device management. Users can monitor environmental parameters, configure sample rates, and receive SMS or email alerts based on variable thresholds. The platform also supports integration with third-party systems and white-labeling options, making it adaptable to diverse operational needs.

The Stygo 5 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Monitoring pore-water pressure in tailings dams and landfills
• Assessing slope stability and excavation safety
• Evaluating the performance of dewatering and ground improvement systems
• Tracking water levels in stilling basins and weirs

Its ability to support single, 4-channel, or 8-channel configurations makes it ideal for nested bores or clustered sensor setups, offering scalability for both small and large projects.   Choosing the Stygo 5 means investing in a reliable, future-ready telemetry solution that simplifies geotechnical monitoring while enhancing data accuracy and accessibility. With its compact design, robust connectivity, and user-friendly platform, the Stygo 5 is a smart choice for professionals seeking dependable performance in the field.
