AgTech & solar applications

Precision agriculture & smart irrigation

Soil moisture sensors, weather stations, irrigation controllers, and pivot position sensors running on LoRaWAN or 4G. Our antennas are selected for reliable operation in open-field environments where cellular coverage can be inconsistent.

Solar farm monitoring

Inverter performance monitoring, grid-edge data loggers, and remote SCADA systems at solar farms require reliable 4G uplinks across large footprints. Our MIMO omni antennas provide the gain and IP rating for enclosure-mounted outdoor installations.

Water tank & dam monitoring

Remote water level monitoring, pump control, and telemetry across properties. LoRaWAN for long-range low-power nodes, 4G for gateway uplinks. Our shark omni for LoRa gateways and combo mag-mount for field units.

Environmental & weather monitoring

Environmental monitoring networks, weather station arrays, and remote data loggers in national parks, agriculture zones, and coastal areas. Rugged IP65 construction for permanent unattended outdoor installations.

Why AgTech and solar operators specify D&G

LoRaWAN and 4G from one supplier

LoRaWAN gateways need a 915 MHz antenna. The 4G uplink router needs a different antenna. We supply both — tested, with matching connectors and the right cable lengths for your enclosure.

IP65 for unattended outdoor installations

Solar farms and agricultural monitoring systems run unattended for months or years. IP65 construction and UV-stable radomes mean the antenna performs in year three the same as day one.

Australian stock, 2-week lead time

No import risk. Penrith warehouse. For project rollouts across multiple sites, we hold stock and ship consistently. Consistent supply is critical for large-scale deployments.

Tested before dispatch components

A failed antenna on a remote node means a field service call. We eliminate that risk by testing every unit before it leaves our facility — not sampling, not assuming, testing.
