Rural fire departments without access to city water rely on Fire Cisterns/Dry hydrants for implementing fire protection infrastructure. These systems require active level monitoring, maintenance, and fill checks to remain a dependable asset. Our system turns monitoring into an automated process, ensures the reliability of the source through alerts when problems arise, and enables collaboration across departments to unify water supply data.

By employing energy-efficient MCU architectures combined with long-range sub-GHz wireless transmitters (such as LoRa) and cellular modems, the device monitors water levels and system battery levels. This project is currently in the prototyping phase and represents a key step toward launching our own commercial hardware product and solutions plan.

Key Features

• LoRa and Cellular Telemetry: Integrates sub-GHz wireless transceivers combined with cellular modems to transmit data reliably to the dashboard in all conditions.
• Long-Term Operation: Engineered to run on solar-charged lithium battery configurations, achieving multi-year operational cycles without even considering manual maintenance.
• High-Precision Liquid Level Sensing: Employs ultrasonic/hydrostatic pressure sensors to log micro-changes in water volume.
• Two-Way Communication: Feeds telemetry into an online portal configured to dispatch email and SMS notifications when water levels drop below key thresholds. Has on-demand monitoring for real-time updates for on-site intel.
