Internet of Things - Remote Area Hive Scale
Narrow Band Internet of Things - NB IoT Hive Scales - Anywhere Bees Fly
Almost Satellite-like coverage at a low cost
Commercial beekeepers in their remote apiaries need Internet coverage for their hive scales. Narrow Band IoT Hive Scales provide that coverage.
Hive scale weight and water data give fuel and travel and time savings and increased honey production through timely extraction and load shift decisions. Up to now, these benefits were not readily or economically available to commercial beekeepers who often operate outside the 4G network. Fat Bees has the solution.
Data costs
You get three weight sends for 3 cents. You set how many sends you want per day. IoT Hives Scales are an unbeatable value. Time is money and fuel prices never go down, so commercial beekeepers cannot afford to be without them.
Power consumption
It is estimated that batteries will not need to be recharged before 3 years.
Coverage
Our Internet of Things Hive Scales use the low-frequency narrowband (NB-IoT), which extends up to 100 kilometres from mobile towers. NB (Narrow Band) HIve Scales provide almost satellite coverage at a low Internet of Things price and no subscription fees.
