nMETOS
THE REVOLUTION OF AGRICULTURE IS NOW – ADAPT TO NEW PRACTICES
Pessl Instruments announces the launch of a new line of METOS® weather stations – nMETOS (nano METOS). With the latest line we aim to revolutionize the fields around the globe, helping the farmers step into the new era of agriculture.
“When developing the nMETOS we had two keystones in mind: sustainability and the real needs of the farmer. The farmers of today require a highly reliable sensor set permanently connected on the mobile phone, precise data reachable within seconds, long-range communications, and an extended battery lifetime. We managed to combine all in one weather station – the nMETOS,” begins explaining Mr. Gottfried Pessl, CEO & Founder of Pessl Instruments.
WHAT IS nMETOS?
- helps measure the most important environmental parameters
- helps prevent plant diseases and insect infestation
- helps with time management (work planning, spraying, irrigation)
- helps you save time, resources and money
- lowers the harmful effect on the environment
It is an entry level weather station that operates on NB-IoT*:
*NB-IoT/CAT-M/GPRS allows a global range of coverage compared to any other system and gives great penetration which is optimal for greenhouses, soil moisture monitoring in complex crop canopies and animal-breeding facilities. Another great aspect is the optimized power consumption, small solar supply combined with rechargeable batteries which is sustainable and good for the environment.

Measurement, logging and transmission intervals can be set differently to fit the client’s needs.
Measurement interval: occurrence, when the station measures the attached sensors
Logging interval: occurrence, when the station calculates the minimum, maximum and average values of all measurements which happened in this logging interval
Transmission interval: occurrence, when the station transmits the stored data from the logging interval to the FieldClimate.
