Solar-Powered NB-IoT Controller for Smart Agriculture, Environmental Monitoring & Remote Telemetry
The Milesight UC501-N03GL is a rugged NB-IoT / LTE-M industrial controller designed for remote monitoring, data acquisition and control applications in outdoor environments. By utilizing cellular IoT networks, it provides direct cloud connectivity without requiring LoRaWAN® gateways or additional network infrastructure.
The controller supports a wide range of industrial interfaces including RS232/RS485, SDI-12, GPIO and Analog Inputs, making it ideal for weather stations, irrigation systems, soil moisture sensors, environmental monitoring equipment, water quality probes and industrial automation applications.
The UC501-N03GL supports Modbus RTU communication and can collect data from multiple wired sensors simultaneously. Thanks to its SDI-12 interface, it is particularly well suited for environmental and agricultural monitoring projects requiring professional field instruments.
One of its major advantages is its integrated solar power system, consisting of a 5V / 1W solar panel and two rechargeable 2550mAh 18650 batteries, allowing long-term autonomous operation in remote locations. An additional 5–24VDC external power input is also available via the industrial M12 connector.
With its IP68-rated enclosure, industrial M12 connectors, NFC configuration and support for cloud integration, the UC501-N03GL offers a reliable solution for smart agriculture, environmental monitoring, utility infrastructure and remote telemetry applications.
