METOS 5
The METOS 5 is designed to monitor a wide array of environmental and soil conditions, capturing climate variables such as rainfall, temperature, and humidity, along with soil properties like moisture, temperature, and conductivity. Its modular structure allows for various sensor configurations, providing adaptability and scalability to suit different agricultural applications.
Data is recorded every 15 minutes and uploaded hourly to the secure FieldClimate Cloud, offering near real-time information. In case of connectivity loss, the device stores measurements internally and automatically synchronizes with the cloud once the connection is restored.
Equipped with a solar panel and rechargeable battery, METOS 5 ensures reliable performance even in remote areas. With integrated GPS and the option for external antennas, it guarantees accurate positioning and stable connectivity, while seamlessly linking with the FieldClimate platform and APIs for advanced analytics and integrations.
