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 5,947 meters (19,511 feet) 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 127 kilometers (78 miles) at 115 Kbps or up to 67 kilometers (41 miles) at 1 Mbps. | 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 5,947 meters (19,511 feet) above sea level.

At an elevation of more than 6,000 feet (1,829 meters), the Mount Washington Observatory (MWO) in New Hampshire uses a FreeWave solution{{solution-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. | At an elevation of more than 6,000 feet (1,829 meters), the [[Mount Washington Observatory]] (MWO) in [[New Hampshire]] uses a FreeWave solution{{solution-inline|date=August 2019}} to capture data from six weather stations and transmit the data to an Ethernet-connected gateway.

The operator of a Rocky Mountain based livestock facility implemented a secure ZumLink IQ edge solution{{solution-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{{solution-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 leak that prevents a tank from filling. | The operator of a Rocky Mountain based livestock facility implemented a secure ZumLink IQ edge solution{{solution-inline|date=August 2019}} with a custom application to monitor water levels in remote tanks from the cloud via an Internet connection.

The Sangamon Valley Public Water District<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://waterfm.com/wave-smart-water-solutions/|title=A Wave of Smart Water Solutions|last=Farr|first=Andrew}}</ref> (SVPWD) in Mahomet, Illinois, implemented FreeWave radios in a new SCADA system to communicate with remote wells and control equipment and settings from a central locations rather than sending personnel to collect data and monitor the water system. SVPWD reported a 50-percent cost savings, with savings expected to rise as leaks and inefficiencies are detected and corrected. | The Sangamon Valley Public Water District<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://waterfm.com/wave-smart-water-solutions/|title=A Wave of Smart Water Solutions|last=Farr|first=Andrew}}</ref> (SVPWD) in [[Mahomet, Illinois]], implemented FreeWave radios in a new SCADA system to communicate with remote wells and control equipment and settings from a central locations rather than sending personnel to collect data and monitor the water system.
