The RÆVO radio modem used to overcome technological lock-in situations
July 2022
The RÆVO radio modem, which operates in the UHF range, is optimized to transport the modern protocols of the IoT world, such as IP standards, while maintaining the setting for the old Modbus. It has already been chosen by various Regional Administrations, including those of Piedmont, Umbria and Campania, to overcome the "technological lock-in" of the systems and shorten the collection times for field measurements. Orders for this device in less than two years from its launch on the market exceed 1,300 units...
Campania: update of the Civil Protection network to monitor hydro-meteorological and hydraulic risk
July 2022
Goal: maximum openness and interchangeability thanks to the protocols of the IoT (Internet of Things) world. The network of the Civil Protection Multi-risk Functional Centre of the Campania Region, consisting of over 250 devices, will be based on the IP protocol, in particular thanks to the RÆVO multi-protocol radio modem...
Overcoming lock-in situations: the open hydro-meteorological network of the Aosta Valley Region
July 2022
An ambitious goal that the Regional Administration has achieved with an innovative project, which is now a reference for the entire National Public Administration. Today the network is made up entirely of open and latest generation technologies and has about 100 installations, including stations and repeaters, of which 28 are stations installed above 2000 m above sea level...

July 2022
CAE has won the tender for the supply and installation of the rapid flood warning system on the island of Luis Vargas Torres in Ecuador which is located at the mouth of the Esmeralda river, an area where exceptional tidal peaks are very common. The proposed system…
Update of the Italian national agro-meteorological network
April 2022
CAE has won the CREA tender for the supply and maintenance of 39 meteorological stations of the Italian national agro-meteorological network. The measured agro-meteorological quantities are used for the reconstruction of meteorological events and the monitoring of the agricultural season. The sensors used include: rain gauges, radiometers, thermo-hygrometers, leaf-wetness sensors, thermometers for surface and soil temperatures...
Measurements of soil moisture and snow water equivalent: the revolution starts with cosmic rays
April 2022
The collaboration between CAE and Finapp aims at revolutionizing the way these important measures are performed. The solution that has been developed integrates the innovative probe, patented by the Venetian start-up, which uses CRNS technology to measure soil moisture and Snow Water Equivalent on a range basis, in depth and in real-time. The advantages compared to point sensors suggest that this will be the new technological standard and it will have an important impact in agriculture, as far as the mitigation of hydrogeological instability and the prevention of wildfires are concerned...
Emilia-Romagna: the new agro-meteorological network is open hardware
April 2022
CAE has won the tender for the updating of the agro-meteorological network of Emilia-Romagna Region, managed by Arpae. After a first development phase of the open source monitoring station project, called "Stima", 44 new automatic agro-meteorological stations will be installed and equipped with...
Po River: new investments to protect water quality
April 2022
CAE has installed a new multiparameter probe for water quality in a spot where the monitoring of the Po River is strategic: Pontelagoscuro. In agreement with ARPAE-SIMC, owner of the station, the District Authority has promoted the installation and maintenance of this probe for at least three years; therefore, the following parameters will be automatically and continuously measured: water temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, Redox potential, turbidity...
Swiss precision chooses CAEtech rain gauges
April 2022
Three stand-alone rain gauges PG4i installed in Switzerland as part of a project that studies how rainfall affects changes in groundwater quality, in terms of the presence of contaminants such as pesticides, bacteria. When springs are frequently used as drinking water resources, maintaining a high water quality is crucial.
