MFR-NODE
IoT Node for use with SDI-12 and analogue inputs
With an onboard SD-Card, the MFR-NODE provides stand-alone data logging capabilities and full data redundancy in the event of temporary loss of communications or dropped packets – ideal for research applications. Data is stored in csv format for ease of use.
The MFR-NODE supports sensors with higher power requirements; a solar panel can charge either the internal lithium-ion battery or both the node and sensor can be powered by an external DC power system (e.g. battery or mains source).
LTE Cat M1/NB-IoT provides the option for remote installation in areas outside the range of LoRaWAN networks. Fully encrypted data communications, with JSON or csv files transmitted over MQTT(S) to a user-defined broker with dedicated MQTT support Microsoft Azure Iot Hub.
With the option of LoRaWAN or CAT M1/NB-IoT connection, the MFR-NODE is an ideal upgrade for older data loggers that relied on 3G communications as the network shutdown is approaching for those data networks.
