Soiltech Beacon Field Antenna | Recommended for areas with poor cell service or if the device will be buried more than 1ft under the soil
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. Unlike many soil moisture sensors, Soiltech Beacons can be buried at any depth — and even moved throughout the season as root systems expand. Add a Field Antenna when burying the Beacon more than 1ft under the soil or if you have an area with poor cell service.
Standard Beacon functionality can be expanded by swapping out the end-caps containing additional sensors and features.

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.
