This week we're at the #NALMS2023 conference in Erie PA. There's thousands of lakes across the continent that need to be monitored better.

MARINE WEATHER: Our new line of marine weather stations is building out a regional observing system for @CLEH2OAlliance. Here's a look at an install near Toledo, OH.

A look at our pond test area. It's great to be able to try new sensors and see how they're behaving.

[Eddie Verhamme @EddieGreatLakes]

A great look at the @freeboardtech buoy with tech on it from @FondriestEnv @CampbellSci @Innovasea @SierraWireless

A great feature on the @LimnoTech

COLLABORATION: Spent the evening yesterday at @ArgonautCLE to highlight the @LimnoTech @freeboardtech @CLEH2OAlliance work to monitor #LakeErie #GreatLakes. Years of work to expose high school kids to the cool tech we use on the water.

[Freeboard Technology @freeboardtech]

NEW TECH: Here's a close look at our real-time high accuracy level sensor and also the hydrology kit. DM for more info! We build these locally and with high-quality parts.

[Freeboard Technology @freeboardtech]

Looking forward to more applications of LoRaWAN technology across the United States

[Eddie Verhamme @EddieGreatLakes]

I'm currently attending the #lorawanlive conference. I'm serving on a panel talking about the build out of regional Telcom systems for the #GreatLakes. Link in comments to more info on this project. https://t.co/F4LvRzhzPb

[Freeboard Technology @freeboardtech]

These custom integrations are a great example of low volume manufacturing and building out sensor networks.

[Eddie Verhamme @EddieGreatLakes]

Had a wonderful time with @CLEH2OAlliance @clevemetroparks and many others to talk about the many new sensors @freeboardtech @LimnoTech deployed on #LakeErie #GreatLakes

[Freeboard Technology @freeboardtech]

A big part of what we do is utilize a local supply chain and bring modern small batch production to environmental monitoring. Magnet in Cleveland and @GCPartnership has a ton of great resources. Looking forward to new products to help conserve and protect water.

[Freeboard Technology @freeboardtech]

The #GreatLakes is one of our passions here. There's a lot we don't understand about the largest lakes on the planet and we manage and protect them.

Loved talking with the @CA_DWR about #LakeErie #GreatLakes and how we've shaken up the status quo with @CLEH2OAlliance @LimnoTech @freeboardtech

[Freeboard Technology @freeboardtech]

AWARD WINNING! Last night we were honored to accept the Best Support of Tech award from the @GCPartnership Best in Tech Awards! Our efforts to instrument #LakeErie with @CLEH2OAlliance are not going unnoticed.

[Freeboard Technology @freeboardtech]

A first deployment of weather and water level stations built locally!

[Eddie Verhamme @EddieGreatLakes]

SMART LAKE ERIE: A blitz day of putting up sensors for @CLEH2OAlliance to monitor winds and water level on #LakeErie. Thanks @jeffjeff2007 for the help. We stopped at Catawba, Sandusky, and Avon Lake today. @freeboardtech @LimnoTech

[Freeboard Technology @freeboardtech]

When you can't quite find what you're looking for on the market we had to make it ourselves! Open source arduino professional weather station that can utilize lorawan, cellular, and satellite Iot. Building batches of new tech is what we do best!

[Freeboard Technology @freeboardtech]

@jhollist We're working on it!

[Freeboard Technology @freeboardtech]

HOUSING: A robust enclosure is the foundation of all environmental observing systems. Our new housing will survive years of abuse and keep electronic components safe and happy. DM to learn about applications of this housing.

[Freeboard Technology @freeboardtech]

This new buoy is the product of years of testing and refining the best of locally produced hardware and ingenuity.
