Learn how to build a more resilient environmental monitoring network—from sensors and dataloggers to communications and data management. This practical guide explores terrestrial and satellite connectivity, site-by-site communications selection, continuity planning, procurement considerations and the steps required to move from assessment to an operational network.

Extend connectivity. Strengthen the whole monitoring network.

KISTERS NZ is an early adopter of Starlink Direct-to-Cell for environmental monitoring.

Satellite connectivity strengthens a wider monitoring solution. KISTERS brings together environmental sensors, iRIS dataloggers, flexible communications and centralised data management – with local NZ expertise across the entire monitoring network.

Extend coverage. Add another layer of resilience.

Radio, cellular and Ethernet remain essential communications options across many monitoring networks. Satellite adds another pathway for rugged, rural and coastal sites beyond terrestrial coverage, and for critical locations where greater communications resilience is required.

Use satellite as the primary connection where terrestrial coverage is unavailable, or alongside existing communications to strengthen continuity across the monitoring network.

Resilient monitoring from sensor to decision.

Satellite is one part of a reliable environmental monitoring network. KISTERS connects four integrated layers – measurement, data collection, flexible communications and data management – supported by one local NZ team.

1

MEASURE

Environmental sensors

Capture the water, weather and environmental parameters your organisation depends on – including water level, rainfall, water quality and more.

2

COLLECT AND CONTROL

iRIS dataloggers

iRIS 270 and iRIS Undercover collect, process and store field data while supporting secure, flexible communications and remote configuration.

3

CONNECT

Flexible communications

Use the right combination of radio, cellular, Ethernet, Starlink Direct-to-Cell and Iridium satellite connectivity for each site’s coverage, data frequency and resilience needs.

4

MONITOR AND ACT

HydroTel platform

Centralise environmental data for near real-time monitoring, alarms, reporting and operational decision-making across the network.
