Remote datalogger shortlisted for WWEM award

OTT HydroMet’s XLink datalogger has been shortlisted for the WWEM 2024 ‘Most Innovative Water Monitoring Solution’ award.

XLink is a unique Wi-Fi enabled datalogger with two-way communications capability via IRIDIUM^® or Cellular technology. Designed specifically for environmental monitoring, XLink is sensor agnostic, accepting SDI12, RS485 and 4-20mA inputs, and capable of transmitting up to 32 independent measurements. This means that the XLink can log and transmit remote monitoring data for parameters such as water level and flow, water quality, air quality, and meteorological parameters such as wind, precipitation and solar radiation.

“We are delighted that the XLink has been shortlisted for this award,” explains OTT HydroMet’s Dr Liam Goodes. “XLink is much more than just a highly sophisticated datalogger. With built-in communications options, it is able to exploit low-cost cellular comms, and where cellular is not available, IRIDIUM^® satellite is a simple, elegant solution at a cost that many of our customers now find surprisingly low.”

WWEM will take place at the NEC from 9 –10 October, and the WWEM awards will be presented at the event’s Gala Dinner on Thursday 9th October. Anyone with an interest in remote environmental monitoring can vote for the XLink and other categories at www.ilmexhibitions.com/wwem/awards-voting/ .

In addition to Conferences and Seminars, WWEM 2024 will also include an international exhibition. Visitors to the OTT HydroMet booth (H3) will be able to see the XLink, along with other products such as borehole loggers, Lufft combined weather sensors, and Kipp & Zonen solar radiation instruments.
