In an Internet of Things (IoT) network, a sensor node collects data from one or several sensors. KISTERS IoTa sensor nodes interconnects sensors with data management software by means of adding modern wireless connectivity to digital sensors. 

IoTa LoRa are dedicated LoRa low power sensor nodes.

IoTa LoRa sensor nodes are battery-powered and operate autonomously for several years on a single battery charge. They collect data from sensors connected via SDI-12 and counter input. Between readings of the input channels, the integrated low-power microprocessor falls into hibernation. To further reduce power consumption, SDI-12 sensors are powered only to make a reading and then switched off.

The IoTa LoRa can be configured locally using KISTERS HyComm Windows software (free of charge).

Easy installation
IoTa LoRa sensor nodes are equipped with a removable pole mount bracket and mounting holes for wall mount applications. UV-proof cable ties (included) allow for quick installation on vertical poles and horizontal rods. The IoTa sensor node can be installed in portrait or landscape position.

Monitoring Networks
IoTa LoRa sensor nodes can be purchased individually to bring IoT interconnectivity to your existing set of SDI-12 sensors and sensors with a pulse output. If desired,  KISTERS engineers and field practitioners help you design the best-fit IoT monitoring solution for your application built from our vast portfolio of digital sensors compatible with the IoTa sensor node.

The IoTa LoRa device leverages standard LoRaWAN technology, ensuring integration into any manufacturer-independent LoRa infrastructure. Whether you already operate your own LoRa network or rely on public gateways, the device fits effortlessly — no vendor lock-in, no proprietary limitations.

For users seeking a turnkey data management solution, the device can also be fully embedded into the KISTERS datasphere cloud environment. On request, IoTa LoRa devices are pre-configured to stream data directly to datasphere, providing:

  • Instant access to all incoming measurements
  • A modern, user-friendly interface for visualization and analysis
  • Effortless scaling for large sensor fleets 
  • LPWAN data logger using LoRaWAN
  • Battery powered
