The Acclima Solar Nodes and Gateways are LoRa Radio, SDI-12, data loggers that allow data to be collected and transmitted wirelessly and stored in a secure and private data repository. Each Acclima Node can attach up to ten SDI-12 devices. These devices do not need to be Acclima-specific hardware meaning, any SDI-12 device is supported provided that the total system load does not exceed 2 watts. Each SDI-12 device replies to aM! (Measurement) commands sent from the Node, and the Node records those replies. The user can set the “Read Intervals” to record data from a group of connected sensors from anywhere as low as 10 minutes, to as high as every 24 hours. These measurements are collected and stored in the Acclima Nodes which can save up to 32,000 logs before overwriting the oldest files. Once the log is saved, the Node transmits this data via (LoRa) a long-range radio system within the 902 to 928 MHz frequency bands, at the request of a Solar Gateway. The Acclima Solar Gateway retrieves the data from the Node, saves the files within its memory, and forwards this data to the cloud via an LTE cellular connection. The Gateway’s GPS coordinates are also forwarded to the cloud within its metadata. Testing has shown that Nodes and Gateways can successfully communicate with one another for more than 10 miles of line-of-sight in rural environments. However, the recommended maximum range is 5 miles or less. After the Node data has been uploaded to the cloud, it can be viewed by authorized parties on the secure and private data portal website hosted by Acclima. Achieving this level of system functionality is both affordable and technically simple. The Solar Node and Gateway system can be acquired and operated by anyone desiring soil and atmospheric data from their personal properties. The system can just as easily be scaled up to provide large entities with the ability to source their data, in ways specific to their needs. Amazingly, in less than one hour, a single person can install one Gateway, three Nodes, and ten sensors.
