Optical Rain Gauge

Our Optical Rain Gauge measures rainfall volume and intensity accurately and reliably. Maintenance-free monitoring for specific location-based rain measurements. Replacing the conventional tipping buckets rain gauges. It uses beams of infrared light within a plastic lens about the size of a tennis ball. This accurate and cost effective, robust rain gauge is the new way of rain monitoring on farms in Australia.

The Optical Rain Gauge uses (NBIOT) NarrowBand-Internet of Things is a standards-based low power wide area (LPWA) technology developed to enable a wide range of new IoT devices and services. NB-IoT significantly improves the power consumption of devices, system capacity, and spectrum efficiency, especially in deep coverage.
