Remote monitoring everywhere

4G/5G first. Iridium® satellite backup. Solar-powered.

Get live TriOS sensor data from places where mobiles fade and site visits are costly.

Always connected

Mobile telemetry as standard, with Iridium® satellite backup. Store-and-forward logging retains readings when a link is unavailable and transmits them when connectivity returns.

Fully self-powered

Solar panels, batteries and intelligent power management support off-grid sensors, cleaning, logging and telemetry at rivers, intakes, lagoons and outfalls.

Real data, not estimated

Measure UV254/UVT, colour, SAC, nitrate, turbidity and oil-in-water with compatible TriOS sensors. TriBox3 brings measurements together for logging and remote review.

Remote catchments, upland intakes and hard-to-reach outfalls don’t wait for a good signal. A secure solar kiosk combines online water-quality sensors with resilient telemetry, helping your engineers see what is happening without repeated site visits.

Stay in control, even when you’re nowhere near the site

Continuous water-quality insight

Monitor water quality at rivers, abstraction points, storm tanks, lagoons and industrial discharge lines that cannot be permanently staffed. Continuous measurements reveal changes that occasional sampling can miss.

Readings are logged with timestamps and returned through the configured communications link. Remote dashboards and alarms help your team investigate spills, low-UVT events, colour changes, hydrocarbon contamination and changing treatment loads.

Remote monitoring, planned around the site

Combine TriOS sensors, a secure solar kiosk, suitable cleaning and dual-path communications to bring water-quality information back from difficult-to-reach locations.

Timestamped readings and alerts help you understand when conditions changed and plan a proportionate response, reducing reliance on unplanned visits.

4G/5G and satellite coverage

Mobile coverage, satellite visibility, power demand and the required reporting frequency must be assessed for each location. Satellite backup is a configured option, not a guarantee of uninterrupted live transmission. Stored data is forwarded when the appropriate link is available.
