Orbit - Model Goes.Link Radius -GOES-Based Uplink and LPWAN Gateway Device
Orbit GOES.Link Radius is a GOES-based uplink and LPWAN gateway in one device. It includes all hardware (external battery pack not included), software and services needed for data acquisition and transmittal to cloud-based data storage via the GOES network, plus viewing and analysis. It also features Radius LPWAN technology, functioning as a Radius Gateway in an SDI-12 wireless network. Orbit GOES.Link Radius is a 300 or 1200 baud GOES transmitter that sends data via the GOES Data Collection System (DCS). The Orbit Xo Radius will both collect data from sensors connected to it, act as a data hub for all SDI-12 sensors (connected to TITAN Radius Motes), in an LPWAN network and automatically forward all data to the cloud via GOES. This eliminates the need to buy both a Gateway for your LPWAN network and a separate GOES uplink.

The Orbit GOES.Link Radius acts as a TITAN Radius Gateway. Each Mote/slave provides a wireless SDI-12 LPWAN bridge between a sensor and a Radius Gateway/master (which connects to data logger or uplink) or a Radius Repeater (extends the network even farther).
Data Processing for Irrigation Insight
- Insert saturation and stress markers
- Mark irrigation or water events
- Track rainfall and water events
- Create your own ag index
- Build a growing degree day “virtual” sensor by combining data from multiple real sensors and applying a calculation.
- Plot data from segments at each depth of a GroPoint Profile to determine optimal irrigation to penetrate the bottom of the root zone.
- The web-based CloudInsight data hub is incredibly powerful and intuitive. It’s used to configure all aspects of the station including logging and reporting intervals, and all analog, pulse and SD-12 sensors. Make changes at any time, from any device.
- Easily locate and access current and historical data, and configuration of all stations and sensors.
- Send alarms (email or SMS) when a parameter reaches a threshold or changes by at least a specified value over a period of time. Parameters can be measured by sensors or “virtual” (computed based on one or multiple sensors with a formula applied).
