DirtMate FAQs

The 2.4 GHz WiFi range is approximately 800 meters, limited by legal transmission power. The 900 MHz WiFi HaLow range is expected to be upwards of 2000 meters.

The receiver is IP66/IP68 weather-resistant.

Receiver: -40°C to +85°C
Battery charging: 0°C to 55°C
Battery discharging: -20°C to 60°C

The receiver has an integrated 5/8” thread for standard surveying tripods and poles. A 420 stainless steel bracket with adhesive strips is included. An optional rail-mounting kit is available for pipes or handrails.

DirtMate uses the u-blox LARA-L6004D Global Cat 4 LTE modem, compatible with 4G, LTE, and 3G.
The modem is certified by global standards and carriers, including AT&T and Verizon. Full certifications at launch include AT&T and PTCRB.

The internal battery can last up to 24 hours on a single charge. If set to sleep overnight, the battery life can extend significantly—up to two days for the receiver and four days for the PowerPack without any charge or solar input.

The DirtMate receiver (48.6 Wh) charges in ~3 hours with a >25 W power supply.

Yes, DirtMates can be configured to only collect data during certain hours of the day, and then sleep for the remainder.

If the temperature is outside the recommended range (0°C–55°C for charging), the system pauses charging but continues to supply power. The battery will completely cease to discharge outside the range of -20C to 60C. Extended exposure to extreme temperatures can shorten battery lifespan.
