Our customer utilises sensors in a salmon ladder to monitor salmon, tracking the influx of salmon at different times of the year.  The main purpose of a ladder is to allow salmon to enter portions of a river that they were previously unable to reach.  The ladders have integrated water sensors to monitor fish growth, numbers and sizes for comprehensive data collection.

Our Client Had Three Big Connectivity Problems

1. They require an always-on connectivity solution to ensure reliable continuous monitoring of the salmon.
2. Good connectivity coverage in areas which are remote and rural is necessary as that is where they operate.
3. Secure remote access capability is also essential for convenient monitoring and management of the fish tracking systems.

How IoT Connectivity Enabled Live Salmon Ladder Monitoring

Firstly, we implemented multi-network IoT SIMs for our client as this ensures reliable connectivity across various network providers, enabling consistent data transmission from the salmon ladder monitoring machines.  This feature enhances signal reliability in rural environments and optimises data collection processes.  We added a fixed IP which provides a secure and stable connection for transmitting data from the sensors to the machine, enhancing data security and ensuring reliable information transmission to designated endpoints.

Another important part of the solution is access to Jasper SIM Management Portal which centralises control and monitoring capabilities for their IoT SIMs.  This portal facilitates real-time access to monitor SIMs, usage and connectivity settings.  A bespoke tariff plan aligns connectivity costs with the specific usage patterns of the monitoring operations of the salmon ladder.  This customised approach optimises connectivity resources, promotes cost-effectiveness and caters to the unique needs of the customer.

Providing IoT SIMs for salmon ladders offers a comprehensive solution.  By incorporating multi-network IoT SIMs and fixed IP connectivity, they can carry out efficient fish tracking operations, ensure data security and optimise monitoring processes for salmon ladder monitoring applications in the UK.
