6.1. General features and product description
The ULP LoRa product was developed to meet the need for a device that can be placed in
remote locations without requiring specific infrastructure, enabling data to be received from
several kilometers away. This means the anemometer can be installed at a desired location,
with data being received remotely "over the air" through a small receiver device that adapts the
output format to the client's preferred configuration. Various markets and situations would find
the ULP LoRa particularly beneficial. For instance:
1.Maritime Sector
Wind recording at multiple coastal points: Each ULP LoRa could be installed on buoys
several kilometers offshore, allowing more accurate wind measurements than those
taken at the coast, where wind conditions vary greatly from the open sea to land. Wind
recording at multiple points on a large ship: The Portable Solar or Portable Mini is
unsuitable due to limited Bluetooth range, while the ULP LoRa overcomes this
limitation.
2. Golf
In golf courses, wind speed and direction can vary across different areas, significantly
impacting ball trajectory. A ULP LoRa could be installed at each hole, with a receiver
transmitting wind data to the cloud, accessible to users via an app on their mobile
devices.
3. Ballistics
For long-distance shooting competitions, accurately knowing the wind conditions along
the projectile's path is critical, providing competitors a clear advantage by anticipating
shot deviations.
4.Wind Energy Sector
To assess the viability of a wind farm on a specific site, wind profiles need to be
recorded over several months. Deploying multiple ULP LoRa units allows for extensive
data collection across multiple points without costly, intrusive wired infrastructure, ideal
if the location proves unsuitable for wind farming.
