What wireless technology is used for the transmission of data?
Either GSM or CDMA (depending on your region) is used to transmit collected data to Net Irrigate's servers. In select instances, we utilize satellite technology.

Is there a monthly fee for the collection of data and use of netirrigate.com.
It depends on your desired frequency of data collection. Rates for flow meter telemetry range from $5 to $30 per month.

Is the water usage data you collect shared with any third parties?
A customer has complete discretion over who they want irrigation data to be shared with. By default, only you have access to your water use reports. Each customer is given a secure username and password. Additional login accounts can be created which link to a subset of irrigation systems within your account.

Does Net Irrigate sell flow meters?
Our core business is software and telemetry services; however we are a dealer for SeaMetrics and McCrometer meters.

Can I hook more than one meter up to a NetIrrigate® Telemetry Box?
The NetIrrigate® Telemetry Box has two pulse inputs, so a maximum of two meters may be hooked up to a single box. The typically installation combines a flow meter and a rain gauge.
