The C3+ telemetry module can remotely monitor and/or control a large range of agricultural and irrigation equipment via the software platforms Observant Global and Jain Logic.
The data is transmitted by the C3+ using a wide range of communication options, including Telstra’s IoT Network, 900MHz radio and Ethernet connection.
The C3+ can be powered by local power, for example in a pump shed, or by solar power using the Observant Solar Panel and Enclosure.
It comes with a 3-year full warranty and a subsequent 4-year pro-rata warranty.
