OptiMet
Connectivity

When the cell tower goes down,
the data still gets through.

Every OptiMet station carries SpaceX Direct-to-Cell over the One NZ network — a world first. When terrestrial coverage drops, the station fails over to satellite on its own. No dish, no extra kit. The weather, the water level and the live image keep coming.

The problem

Monitoring goes dark exactly when you need it most.

Remote roads, rivers and high-country sites sit at the edge of the cellular network — and that edge is the first thing to fail when a storm rolls in. A tower drops, a backhaul floods, and the data stops at the worst possible moment.

Roads, crews and communities need weather data when the storm hits. The data must get through.

The solution

One station, two paths, zero gaps.

The station prefers fast, low-cost terrestrial. The moment it can’t reach the tower it switches to SpaceX satellite on its own — and switches back when the network returns. You never see the gap, because there isn’t one.

4G / 5G cellular

Fast and economical where coverage is solid. The default for urban and near-network sites.

Most resilient

4G / 5G with SpaceX failover

Cellular speed day-to-day, automatic satellite backup the instant the tower drops. Data that never stops.

SpaceX satellite only

For true off-grid sites with no cellular at all. Place a station anywhere — we still get the data out.


Proven in the field

Live through a major weather event — not a single missed reading.

Our stations have run live across Central Otago through a major South Island weather event, auto-switching between satellite and terrestrial as conditions changed — and delivered every data point, the whole way through.
