Innovative Air Quality Monitoring: Exploring NextPM’s Three Patented Technologies
With over 20 years experience within the air quality industry, the experts at TERA Sensor have specifically engineered the NextPM Particulate Matter (PM) sensor to enhance particulate matter sensing in a vast range of applications across the globe.
TERA’s NextPM sensor is designed for environmental monitoring and smart city applications, providing real time PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 measurements. What sets NextPM apart from competing products on the market is its three patented technologies embedded in the sensor, providing a premium solution for real-time particulate matter monitoring, ensuring compliance with the highest quality standards.

Within this optical sensor category, a distinctive feature leverages advanced laser technology to enhance resolution during particulate matter detection. This innovation enables the differentiation of particles with similar signals, a capability not commonly found in other particulate matter sensors.
NextPM incorporates heating resistors located to ensure humidity does not exceed high levels. This reduces the effects of humidity on the measurement of particles and simultaneously increases the sensor life.
The addition of an Aeraulic filter improves the flow design of the sensor and reduces the likelihood of the flow becoming clogged, thus increasing the sensor lifetime.
