Soiltech Beacon Rugged Antenna | Conduit Wrapped 25ft Cable + Antenna with temperature/RH/USB Charging port
The Beacon sensor can be planted, harvested, and transported with crops, delivering data throughout the entire product lifecycle via Global Cellular and Local Bluetooth Low Energy channels. Standard Beacon functionality can be expanded by swapping out the end-caps containing additional sensors and features.
What the Rugged Antenna Does:
- Similar to the storage antenna, but designed for above-ground use.
- Measures temperature and humidity.
- Includes an external charging port for continuous power.
- Flexible and resilient enough to withstand farm machinery impact.
How it Helps:
- In the Field: Ideal for real-time field monitoring of temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions.
- Flexibility: Can be positioned and staked down, providing consistent data even in poor service areas without needing an expensive gateway or network.
Optional Additional Configurations (Sold Separately)
- Field Antenna (Recommended for areas with poor cell service or if the device will be buried more than 1ft under the soil.)
- Weather Station (Rain Gauge + Wind Speed/Direction)
- Rain gauge
- Wind Speed/Direction
- CO2
- O2
When it comes to farm management, both in the field and in storage, data is king. Stock Soiltech Beacons have become essential soil sensor tools for many potato, onion, and sugar beet farmers, providing real-time field condition data and helping to make informed decisions. But what truly sets Beacons apart for many different crops and use cases is the variety of add-ons available, each designed to enhance functionality and provide deeper insights.
Soiltech Beacons are about more than moisture, and we've made them customizable for you to use for more than just the growing season!
The real value of these add-ons comes from how they work together to create a complete picture of the growing and storage environment. For example:
- A rain bucket and anemometer can help fine-tune irrigation and spraying schedules.
- CO2 caps provide early warnings about spoilage and decomposition, giving farmers and/or food processors time to adjust ventilation and reduce losses.
- Storage and ambient antennas ensure that even the most remote or hard-to-reach locations are monitored consistently.
Farming is full of variables, but with the right Beacon add-ons, farmers can control more of the process, improve yields, and reduce post-harvest losses. The future of farming lies in better data—and the Beacon system is helping farmers get there.
