The Canary Systems® MLRemote® is a low-power, point-to-multipoint, programmable wireless datalogging system designed for demanding environments. The system was purpose designed for the geotechnical, structural and environmental markets where the monitoring assets consist of numerous types of instruments, distributed over a large area, and are difficult to access. Use of proprietary communication “push” technology allows for ultra-long battery life, between 3-5 years for the standard alkaline batteries, up to 10-years when using Lithium cells. The unit can easily be placed in a variety of remote locations for long-term monitoring applications. With fewer components, MLRemote systems are less of a target on sites where theft is a concern compared to the larger, more visible, and expensive alternatives.
The high performance spread spectrum radio is available in 900MHz or 2.4GHz frequencies, and a range of up to 100km (60 miles) is possible with use of gain antennas and excellent topography. Range of up to 15km (9 miles) is easily achievable using the standard antenna and most topography.
