Sensors and Sensor Platforms

In CITI-SENSE project, we have tested various sensors and sensor platforms for air quality monitoring in nine cities, and developed various data server platforms for storing data from different devices and sources.. For detail information about sensors and sensor platforms, see underneath Table, for sever platforms, see this LINK.

Sensor platforms Name Contact information Detail Information

Little Environmental Observatory (LEO) Name:
Ateknea Solutions
E-mail:
aaqm@ateknea.com
 The LEOs are portable sensor packs. It measures NO, NO2 and O3 using electrochemical sensors.
The personal sensors together with the ExpoApp smartphone application from Ateknea Solutions.
Documentation, links to video tutorials, PC application download and user guides can be found at Here.

Obeo Radon sensor Name:
Bent Morten
E-mail: bent.morten@liessem.no		 The Obeo Radon sensor is easy to remotely monitor radon and/or CO2 levels in indoor areas and buildings. The MMA utilises the GSM/GPRS cellular network to relay the sensor data to a central server available from any PC/Mac/Ipad. For more information click this Link.

Environmental Instruments (AQMesh)

Name: Amanda Randle 

Email: a.randle@aqmesh.com

 

  • AQMesh is the commercially available and proven low-cost system for monitoring air quality. The product combines a robust hardware platform with the latest sensor technology and GPRS communication, cloud-based data processing and secure online access. It measures gases NO, NO2, NOx, O3, CO, SO2, particulates PM1, PM2.5, PM10 and TPC and %RH, pod temperature, atmospheric pressure and noise.

   Dunavnet Contact information:
Dejan Drajic
E-mail:
dejan.drajic@dunavnet.eu		 ekoNET services are designed to provide a complete end-to-end solution for the environment monitoring following the concepts used within the IoT (Internet of Things) domain. The system comprises all necessary components, namely: measuring device, back-end infrastructure (i.e. cloud server) and client applications (web and mobile). The measuring device can be any chosen, while EB800 and RPi800 devices are available and preconfigured to work with ekoNET platform.
