Greenhouses and polytunnels

Connectivity for climate controllers, irrigation and environmental sensors in greenhouses, polytunnels and controlled-environment growing. A reliable link means growers get alarms for heating, ventilation or power failures straight away, wherever they are.

Typical greenhouse set-ups

Climate computer remote access

Most climate control systems have an Ethernet port and a remote access app or web page. A router connects them and, with a VPN or Teltonika RMS, lets the grower or supplier log in safely.

Typical kit: Teltonika RUT951 or RUT956, managed through Teltonika RMS.

Alarm monitoring

Wire high and low temperature, power-fail and boiler fault contacts to the router's inputs for SMS and email alerts, even if the climate computer itself fails.

Typical kit: Teltonika RUT956 or TRB246.

Wi-Fi across glasshouses

Staff tablets and handheld scanners need Wi-Fi along long glasshouses. Outdoor or industrial access points extend coverage from one connection.

Typical kit: Teltonika TAP200 access points and a PoE switch.

Things to check

  • Humidity and heat: choose industrial routers and mount them in an enclosure away from sprinklers.
  • Security: keep climate computers off the open internet; use a VPN or RMS.
