Connectivity

Central Unit

The central unit ensures secure information exchange between agricultural devices and the Irricontrol platform.
It enables remote control of the entire irrigation system.

Without this accessory, telemetry from field devices is not possible, as the central unit acts as a mediator between the field and the platform – in both directions.

Repeater

Bivolt Repeater
The Bivolt Repeater ensures signal transmission within the Irricontrol network.
It receives the network signal, amplifies it, and thus enables coverage of larger areas.
Operation is powered by a 110/220-volt power supply.

Solar Repeater
Operates on the same principle as the Bivolt Repeater but is self-powered via a battery and solar panel.
To determine the optimal installation point, we offer a signal study.
Please contact us to ensure full connectivity on your farm.
