Real-time flood awareness, even when the grid is down.
FLOOD-Mesh is a low-cost, off-grid network of solar-powered sensors that measures flood levels and road conditions across the area of interest. Using long-range LoRa radios, data travels through the network until it reaches a central server for live maps and alerts. No additional infrastructure is required.
What is it?
A city-wide fabric of compact mesh or sensor nodes; each with a radio, solar panel, battery, microcontroller and configurable sensor package. Nodes mount to existing infrastructure or poles and report conditions continuously.
How it works
Nodes use LoRa for ultra-low-power, long-range links. These nodes intelligently relay sensor data through the network to a gateway. A central server turns this into live situation maps and predictive road-closure alerts. If a node fails, the mesh re-routes.
Who benefits
Residents, first responders and city planners get timely, ground-truth visibility of road and water conditions. This helps our community make safer decisions and accelerates recovery after severe weather.
Resilient by nature
The network’s mesh-like design keeps communication flowing during power and cellular outages. Data can be sent in both directions, providing an extra layer of emergency communication.
Built to scale
At roughly one-tenth the cost of traditional river stations, FLOOD-Mesh is designed for mass deployment across the target area, not just a handful of sites.
Open & flexible
Data is collected and stored in non-proprietary formats that can be integrated into a wide range of software, allowing customers to implement data as needed.
