FAQ

What does SunGene need to quote South Africa Water Tank Monitoring?

Please share target province or network operator, tank quantity and distance, solar power requirement, platform or dashboard expectation. 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: LTE band review before sample; MQTT or Modbus TCP handoff; LoRaWAN option for clustered tanks. 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 4G LTE, LoRaWAN, RS485, Modbus RTU, Solar power. Exact certification, frequency band and network support are checked against the selected hardware and target country.
