Solinst Canada Ltd. has announced a partnership with CityKinect that enables global cellular connectivity to Model 9500 4G LevelSender 5 Telemetry Systems.
Solinst is a groundwater and surface water monitoring instrumentation manufacturer, and CityKinect is a cellular connectivity provider focused on helping manufacturers integrate cellular service into their offerings.
Solinst’s LevelSender 5 offers a way to collect water level data from remote Solinst dataloggers. The company now offers the option of a CityKinect SIM card that is activated and preinstalled before shipping. This allows a low-cost, competitive data-only plan, managed and billed directly through Solinst. The LevelSender 5 is set up in advance, simplifying the programming and installation process.
The SIM Card gives users access to wider network coverage, as it scans multiple service providers to automatically select the strongest signal for a location. This allows users to avoid costs and frustrations with traditional single carrier providers.
“Reducing the challenges of getting good sensor data has always been a priority at Solinst,” said Jim Pianosi, president of Solinst. “Now with an integrated offering including global cellular connectivity, it’s easier than ever before for customers to deploy and not worry about coverage at site.”
The collaboration brings together high quality water level dataloggers with reliable cellular technology to ensure a reliable telemetry solution.
Shaun Connor, CEO of CityKinect, said “Solinst has been fantastic to work with, and really understands their customers’ needs. By taking this step together we are enthusiastic about growing both companies in the Environmental Monitoring space.”
