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...

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...
