 '''Free Wave Technologies, Inc.''' designs and manufactures secure machine-to-machine wireless networking, communications, and computing systems. Their radios can capture and transmit data from devices such as sensors, gauges, valves, robots, drones, and unmanned vehicles over long distances (60+ miles / 96+  kilometers) in clear line-of-sight environments and harsh environments. Free Wave's radios support a variety of industrial applications, such as [[supervisory control and data acquisition]] (SCADA), wireless [[I/O]], [[cathodic protection]] (CP), [[remote monitoring]], [[telemetry]], and [[analytics]]. Free Wave can provide long range, reliable and rugged wireless data links through both licensed and license-free radios.

 The Institute of Geophysics of Ecuador uses FreeWave technology at [[Tungurahua]], the highest volcano in the world which operates at below-zero temperatures from a height of {{convert|5,947|m|ft|abbr=off|sp=us}} above sea level. FreeWave M2M devices capture early-warning signs that an eruption is imminent and transmit images from the top of the volcano. With hundreds of thousands of residents living around the volcano, early warning is crucial to take precautionary measures and evacuate citizens before an eruption can take place. The Geophysical Institute of Peru also uses FreeWave technology to capture and transmit sensor data across a line-of-sight path of up to {{convert|127|km|mi|abbr=off|sp=us}} at 115 kbit/s or up to {{convert|67|km|mi|abbr=off|sp=us}} at 1&nbsp;Mbit/s.

	FreeWave's wireless M2M ~~[[Solution selling\|solutions]]~~ are deployed across many industries including oil and gas, government, precision agriculture, traffic systems, water/wastewater, manufacturing, and other utilities. For instance, FreeWave radios are used by energy companies to maximize production and reduce operating costs for mission-critical applications within the military, and for environmental monitoring to provide warning of impending natural disasters such as volcanoes.		FreeWave's wireless M2M products are deployed across many industries including oil and gas, government, precision agriculture, traffic systems, water/wastewater, manufacturing, and other utilities. For instance, FreeWave radios are used by energy companies to maximize production and reduce operating costs for mission-critical applications within the military, and for environmental monitoring to provide warning of impending natural disasters such as volcanoes.

	The Institute of Geophysics of Ecuador uses FreeWave technology at [[Tungurahua]], the highest volcano in the world which operates at below-zero temperatures from a height of {{convert\|5,947\|m\|ft\|abbr=off\|sp=us}} above sea level. FreeWave M2M devices capture early-warning signs that an eruption is imminent and transmit images from the top of the volcano. With hundreds of thousands of residents living around the volcano, early warning is crucial to take precautionary measures and evacuate citizens before an eruption can take place. The Geophysical Institute of Peru also uses FreeWave technology to capture and transmit sensor data across a line-of-sight path of up to {{convert\|127\|km\|mi\|abbr=off\|sp=us}} at 115 kbit/s or up to {{convert\|67\|km\|mi\|abbr=off\|sp=us}} at 1 Mbit/s.

	At an elevation of more than {{convert\|6,000\|ft\|m\|abbr=off\|sp=us}}, the [[Mount Washington Observatory]] (MWO) in [[New Hampshire]] uses a FreeWave ~~solution~~{{buzzword inline\|date=August 2019}} to capture data from six weather stations and transmit the data to an Ethernet-connected gateway. The data provides information such as temperature and wind speeds for MWO's climate research. Weather observations are reported to the [[National Weather Service]] and [[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]] for use in nationwide and global forecasting models.

	The operator of a Rocky Mountain-based livestock facility implemented a secure ZumLink IQ edge ~~solution~~{{buzzword inline\|date=August 2019}} with a custom application to monitor water levels in remote tanks from the cloud via an Internet connection. Using the [[Node-RED]] programming language, an app was created quickly and easily to gather data from analog sensors. The ~~solution~~{{buzzword inline\|date=August 2019}} helps drive down operating costs by reducing the amount of travel for visual inspections in the event of a problem such as a leakage that prevents a tank from filling.

SVPWD reported 50 percent cost savings, with savings expected to rise as leaks and inefficiencies are detected and corrected.
