A modern Smart Irrigation System based on precision control for precision agriculture and wireless mesh radio communication gives a huge return on investment, ultra-low power for energy saving, best range and coverage, and unmatched robustness!
Radiocrafts has upgraded our RIIM Sub-GHz mesh solution for Smart Irrigation systems based on feedback from top tier Smart Irrigation customers.
What makes the RIIM Sub-GHz mesh solution for Smart Irrigation systems an ideal solution for your next installation?
- Highly Scalable Network – Cover an entire semi-rural open environment as large as 80 x 80 km² (50 x 50 mi²) or a residential area with up to 1000 devices on a single gateway.
- Very Low Power for Battery Operation – Huge maintenance and manpower cost savings as RIIM can support 7+ years battery life on 2 AA batteries.
- Unmatched reliability in data transmission success rates – An extremely robust and efficient running network as RIIM supports several channel hopping features which enables a data packet success rate of 99.99%.
- Long Range – Long range with the possibility to have up to 1000 devices in a single network reduces the cost of installation as less gateways are needed to support a large-scale deployment. You can also simplify your radio coverage planning with RIIM as it also supports a radio communication range of up to 1400 meters between devices in an open semi-rural area.
- Symmetrical 2-way communication – Essential for your Irrigation network if you need to collecting sensor readings, control devices such as valves (Open valve in just a few seconds), and over-the-air updates for touchless firmware updates.
- High-throughput networking with minimal packet loss – Keep up with the vast amounts of data communication required by a modern Smart Irrigation deployment. RIIM supports the Adaptive Frequency Agility feature which means you can take the duty cycle in Europe from 1% to 40%. You can essentially send up to 40x more data than other solutions who do not support this feature.
- Time-synchronization – Management of exact start and stop times for certain events such as, starting irrigation of a certain part of the field immediately after irrigation stops in another part of the field to decrease water pressure in the pipes.
- Radiocrafts’ ICI Framework – Embedded in the module, ICI allows you to directly interface to virtually any sensor/actuator, such as soil moisture sensors, UV sensors, rain/freeze sensors, wind sensors, and more.
- And much more!
