ALERT2 hardware and software for remote environmental monitoring
Blue Water Design builds field-proven ALERT2 devices and the VantagePoint cloud software for agencies operating flood warning and environmental monitoring networks.
ALERT2 Expertise
Reliable telemetry from remote sensors to inform operational decisions
ALERT2 is a low-power, long-range radio protocol for environmental monitoring networks. It is designed for remote sites that need dependable reporting during extreme weather events.
Blue Water Design supports every part of an ALERT2 system: remote loggers and transmitters, repeaters, base stations, cloud software, protocol updates, diagnostics, and the agencies responsible for mission-critical networks.
Typical ALERT2 System
Remote Sites
A2RT + Sensors
Collect rainfall, stage, and other environmental measurements. Package data for transmission via ALERT2.
ALERT2 Network
AirLink Radio Protocol
Scheduling with TDMA, error detection and correction, A2X repeaters.
Base Station
A2X Receiver and IP transport
Decode transmitted measurements and send them to downstream systems over an IP network.
Operations
VantagePoint
Real-time displays, alarming, diagnostics, and data publishing give operators the tools they need.
VantagePoint
Cloud monitoring software for ALERT2
VantagePoint turns telemetry data into operational awareness: live maps, site status, charts, alarms, public dashboards, and system health visibility.
