FAQ
What does SunGene need to quote Irrigation Canal Monitoring?
Please share canal width and installation structure, number of monitoring points, coverage map or sim preference, battery autonomy requirement. With those inputs we can narrow the sensor, gateway, power and integration scope.
Can this connect to our existing platform?
Most projects use one of these paths: LoRaWAN star network for distributed points; NB-IoT for direct operator coverage; 4G backhaul from gateway to cloud. The final payload and protocol are confirmed before sample shipment.
Is SunGene a SaaS platform provider?
SunGene supplies monitoring hardware and documented data-handoff interfaces. Dashboard hosting, API development, alarm workflows and platform operation remain with the customer or its named software and integration provider.
Which technologies are normally considered?
The typical shortlist includes LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, RS485, Solar power, 4G LTE. Exact certification, frequency band and network support are checked against the selected hardware and target country.
