VIoT Ultrasonic Node
Precision Liquid, Tank & Waste Bin Telemetry
Industrial non-contact ultrasonic distance transducer engineered for municipal solid waste containers, water reservoirs, overhead tanks, and bulk silos. Combines sub-centimeter acoustic ranging with an onboard 3-axis accelerometer for tamper, tilt, and fire alerts over private LoRaWAN networks.
±1 cm Ranging Accuracy
High-frequency 40 kHz acoustic transducer measuring fill distances from 20 cm up to 450 cm (4.5m) with automatic temperature compensation.
7 to 10 Year Battery Life
Ultra-low sleep current draw of ~2μA powered by replaceable high-capacity Li-SOCl2 industrial battery for zero-maintenance operation.
Tilt, Tamper & Fire Alert
Integrated 3-axis accelerometer detects container tip-overs, lid openings, and sudden heat spikes, triggering instant high-priority LoRaWAN uplinks.
IP67 Harsh Outdoor Rating
Heavy-duty UV-resistant enclosure engineered to withstand corrosive municipal environments, dust, pressure washing, and sub-zero temperatures.
Versatile Non-Contact Level Intelligence
From large-scale municipal smart waste operations to industrial fluid inventories, the VIoT Ultrasonic Node delivers turnkey volumetric monitoring.
Smart Waste Management
Field-proven in municipal waste containers. Real-time fill percentages transmit to municipal dispatch software, cutting truck fuel consumption by up to 30% and eliminating overflow.
- Bin overflow prevention
- Dynamic truck route dispatching
- Vandalism & tilt event alerts
Water Tanks & Reservoirs
Mounted above elevated municipal tanks, rainwater harvesting sumps, and agricultural reservoirs to calculate exact liquid levels without fluid immersion or chemical corrosion.
- Overhead tank volume telemetry
- Low-water pump dry-run protection
- Non-revenue water auditing
Industrial Silos & Manholes
Monitors grain, fertilizer, chemical dry bulk, and sewer manhole water crests. Renders instant data over long-range Sub-GHz LoRaWAN straight to enterprise ChirpStack dashboards.
- Non-contact food grade compliance
- Storm surge sewer spill warning
- Off-grid solar/battery operation
Why Deploy Vandyam LoRaWAN Products
Explore how our Ultrasonic Node provides non-cellular independence, 10,000+ node gateway scalability, and custom hardware engineering.
Non-Cellular Network Ownership
Operate entirely on license-free Sub-GHz radio spectrum (865 MHz IN865). Eliminates monthly cellular SIM fees, telco carrier dead zones, and dependence on public tower infrastructure.
Mass Deployment Scalability
A single 8-channel Vandyam LoRaWAN outdoor gateway handles up to 10,000+ active sensor nodes across a tested 10+ km LOS radius, with virtually unlimited range achievable through gateway mesh technology. Effortlessly scale across massive industrial, agricultural, or utility sites.
Ultra-Low Power Operations
Sub-GHz radio modulation coupled with micro-amp deep sleep states (~2μA sleep current). Sensor nodes deliver 5 to 10+ years of uninterrupted battery life without field maintenance.
On-Premise Gateway & Network Server
Run ChirpStack network servers directly on-premise or on the edge gateway. 100% local data privacy, air-gapped security compliance, zero cloud vendor lock-in, and instant local MQTT decodes.
Highly Customizable Hardware & Firmware Solutions
From an engineering perspective, every operational environment is unique. Vandyam's LoRaWAN product stack is designed from the ground up to be fully customizable to meet exact client telemetry, sensor, power, and enclosure requirements.
