OGLAS moves data along one path — Sensors → Hubs → Local → Cloud — from the field, to an on-site hub, to analysis you own, and on to an optional private copy you can reach from anywhere.

How sensors reach the hub
Each sensor reports to your hub over a wireless link that doesn’t need 4G, Wi-Fi, or any fixed infrastructure. The hub confirms every message, logs it locally, and raises alerts when something needs your attention. Range is measured in kilometres, not metres; power draw is low enough to run a season on a single battery.
What we ship by default
For almost every site, the default stack is LoRa at 915 MHz (the AU/NZ band): sensors talk straight to a LoRa Hub, which logs to Local on an SBC or laptop. That’s the whole system — no telco account, no subscription. You don’t configure radios; the sensors and hub come paired.
When a different transport fits
Some sites need more than a straight line. The hub you choose reflects that — and a single site can mix them:
| If your site has… | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Clear line of sight to the hub | LoRa Hub | Simplest; the default |
| Hills, sheds, or dead spots in the way | Mesh Hub | Devices relay for each other around obstacles |
| No mobile, fixed line, or neighbour to reach | Satellite Hub | The hub uplinks over satellite |
| An existing LoRaWAN gateway | LoRaWAN | We feed your gateway (e.g. The Things Network or ChirpStack — open LoRaWAN servers) |
| A hard-to-reach hub but a connected point nearby | HaLow / long-range Wi-Fi | Carries data to where there is a connection, no telco in the field |
(Mesh here is the same idea as Meshtastic — an open mesh built on LoRa radios.)
What this means for you
- You don’t pick a protocol — tell us the site and we ship the right one, pre-configured.
- Hardware outlives the network — LoRa is a radio layer, not a carrier generation, so there’s no 2G/3G-style shutdown to brick your gear. If a better option emerges, it’s a firmware update, not new hardware.
- Your data stays local regardless of transport — see Your data is your data.
Odd connectivity — a valley with no signal, a yard wrapped in steel, a site that spans kilometres — is exactly the kind of thing we solve with a custom build. Tell us about your site.
