The AQMesh air quality monitor is neat, compact and easy install within just a few minutes and experienced technical staff are not required.
Monitor exactly where monitoring is required
With wireless communications using the global mobile network and a choice of power options, including batteries, mains supply or a bespoke solar pack, AQMesh can be installed in almost any location.
After 10 years of use in the field, we have seen a good range of monitoring locations. It is reasonable to want to monitor where you need to monitor and not where is convenient. AQMesh started out as a hyper-low power platform, measuring gases and environmental conditions using a lithium thionyl chloride battery that would run for over two years. Our chosen particle monitoring option uses a pump - not a fan - for optimal long-term reliability and improved accuracy as it eliminates issues with electrostatically charged particles, and as such this uses more power. Battery power is still an option but we designed a smart solar pack which can power a pod measuring NO, NO2, O3, CO, SO2, CO2, PM1, PM2.5, PM10, TPC, PM Total, noise and wind speed and direction (all on the same unit) all year round in most parts of the world.
Part of monitoring wherever you need to is to not be limited by communications. After careful consideration of all options, AQMesh uses the mobile phone network, starting with humble but reliable 2G and now offering 4G / 5G / NB-IoT using the latest LTE (Long Term Evolution) communications standard. The infrastructure to support this sort of communication is universal, growing and .. it just works. Reliably. Everywhere you have a mobile phone signal. The same cannot be said of WiFi, ethernet or LoRa, which are not yet universally deployed and limited by range to mostly urban locations.
More AQMesh benefits
With wireless communications using the global mobile network and a choice of power options, including batteries, mains supply or a bespoke solar pack, AQMesh air quality monitors can be installed in almost any location.
Development through extensive global co-location comparison trials in all seasons across each continent means AQMesh air quality monitoring systems can operate in the wides possible range of environments and conditions.
AQMesh air quality monitoring system performance and long-term baseline stability has been proven over many years of independent global co-location trials against certified reference equipment.
With measurements processed and stored on the secure AQMeshData server there is no need for site visits to retrieve data and should anything untoward happen to the outdoor air quality monitor, data is still perfectly safe and accessible.
Robust hardware, wireless communications and the secure AQMeshData server mean AQMesh air quality monitors can easily reconnect themselves and continue to capture data if power is ever interrupted.
