Data comes in all shapes, sizes, and formats and the way we manage it has rapidly developed over the past century. This is no different in the environmental monitoring industry. Initially, when we started tracking the Earth’s changes such as solar radiation, stream stage, and wind speed; measurements would be taken and recorded in the field manually. Over the years, the frequency of collection, complexity of parameters, and accessibility have all improved. The quality of our historical data records aid in:

Found on every continent in the world, OTT HydroMet offers dataloggers for environmental applications that span throughout the Biosphere. Aligning with our mission to protect lives and the environment, we believe that quality, real-time data is the key to accurately monitoring changes on Earth.
Data collection platforms (DCP), or dataloggers, are at the heart of any monitoring station and trigger, collect, and send data remotely in near-real time from connected sensors. Four key features of our latest dataloggers:
When transmitting various types of data from stations all over the world, it can be difficult to know which telemetry solution is best for your monitoring network. Telemetry methods include:
Of these, IRIDIUM and cellular can apply remote two-way communication to seamlessly integrate sensors within the field. Visit our Data Management Related Resources below to find out which method(s) fit for your unique application.
Internet of Things, or IoT is at the forefront of connectivity. IoT enables interrelated devices to transfer data via the internet. IoT is developing in almost all industries, including environmental monitoring. OTT HydroMet sensors such as the ecoLog 1000 use LTE-M as a form of IoT connectivity. The main benefits of this smart technology include:
Unique monitoring applications require dataloggers with varying capabilities and telemetry methods that fit your environment and data requirements. Find the best solution for your network.
Designed specifically for environmentally monitoring, LinkComm Software supports almost all unique applications. LinkComm is free with our XLink and SatLink family of dataloggers, along with the OTT ecoLog 1000 water level logger.
