1. Overview
1.1 Description
EM500-SMT is an outdoor environment monitoring sensor mainly used to measure soil status
through wireless LoRa network. EM500-SMT device is battery powered and designed for multiple
mounting ways. It is equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication) and can easily be configured
by a smartphone or a PC software.
Sensor data are transmitted in real-time using standard LoRaWAN protocol. LoRaWAN enables
encrypted radio transmissions over long distance while consuming very little power.
The user can obtain sensor data and view the trend of data change through Ursalink Cloud or thr
ough the user's own Network Server.
1.2 Features
A portable, robust and waterproof solution for smart agricultural applications
Up to 11km communication range
Easy configuration via NFC
Standard LoRaWAN support
Ursalink Cloud compliant
Low power consumption with 19000mAh replaceable battery
