SDI-12-CS - Solar Powered SDI-12 to NB-IoT/LTE-M Converter

The Dragino SDI-12-CS is a SDI-12 to NB-IoT and LTE-M Converter designed for smart agriculture. SDI-12 (Serial Digital Interface at 1200 baud) is an asynchronous serial communications protocol for intelligent sensors that monitor environment data. SDI-12 protocol is widely used in agriculture and weather station sensors.

SDI-12-CS has SDI-12 interface and support 12v output to power external SDI-12 sensor. It can get the environment data from SDI-12 sensor and sends out the data via NB-IoT/LTE-M network.

You can use various IoT Servers and different uplink methods including MQTT, MQTTs, UDP and TCP. 

The sensor node uses Quectel BG95-NGFF Multi-band LTE Cat M1/Cat NB2 module with GPS which can be used in most European countries. It has a card slot for an NB-IoT/LTE-M SIM card.

This device supports BLE for easy configuration and wireless OTA to update the firmware.

SDI-12-CS is powered by a rechargeable battery and a solar cell for continuous use. It has an external antenna and a waterproof IP66 enclosure.
