WVC-GS Base Radio

The WVC-GS Base Radio is a high-capacity coordinator designed to manage large-scale wireless networks for irrigation and environmental monitoring. It acts as the central hub for up to 500 valve radios and integrates various external sensors and controllers into a unified system.

  • High Device Capacity: Supports reliable communication with up to 500 WVC-GS Radios.
  • RMU Connection: Seamlessly connects with a Loncel RMU for cloud data synchronization and remote management.
  • Robust Network Management: Optimized for long-range communication across diverse topographies.
  • Local Radio Network: Loncel proprietary long-range wireless protocol
    • Frequency: 915MHz ISM band
    • Antenna: Integrated omnidirectional antenna
    • Range: 1km Line-of-Sight to WVC-GS Radios and Repeaters
    • Device Capacity: Up to 500 nodes (WVC-GS Radios)
  • Uplink: Connection to Loncel RMU
    • Interface: RS485 to RMU
  • Input Voltage: 5V DC
  • Enclosure: Industrial-grade, weather-proof housing
  • Operating Temperature: -20°C to +60°C
  • Mounting: Compact design for pole mounting.

The WVC-GS Base Radio is typically mounted at a central, high-elevation point on a site. It aggregates data from a vast network of WVC-GS Radios and sensors, passing that information to a cellular gateway for cloud-based monitoring and command execution via the Loncel platform.
