What uRADMonitor does

uRADMonitor, operated by Romanian private limited company Magnasci SRL (founded 2015 in Timișoara by Radu Motisan), designs, manufactures and sells a portfolio of 11+ proprietary IoT environmental sensor hardware products covering ionizing radiation (Geiger-Müller tube-based dosimeters), particulate matter, toxic gases, CO2, radon, noise, and basic weather. Devices are built in-house from third-party sensor components (e.g., Bosch BME680, Sharp PM2.5, LND LND712 tubes, large-volume electrochemical cells) on custom microcontroller platforms with Ethernet, WiFi, GSM/GPRS, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, LTE-M and SDI-12 connectivity variants. Each unit uploads measurements to a shared cloud backend that exposes open, uniform, comparable data via a public API and an OpenLayers-based global map dashboard (Frontend v7). Two product lines (KIT1 and SMOGGIE) are released as open-source firmware and hardware on GitHub, enabling community contributors to extend the network.

The business model is predominantly direct hardware sales through the uRADMonitor.com storefront at prices ranging from $36 (Serial Geiger Module) and $239 (SMOGGIE-PM) up to $4,499 (MODEL CITY), with a 12-month warranty, global DHL shipping, and a refurbished-unit channel offering ~50% discounts. A separate "Join the Network" enterprise channel handles large municipal, industrial and EU-funded deployments (e.g., 100+ A4 units for Bucharest Sector 1; ~100 sensors for Bistrița via EU B-CONNECT; Greenpeace/SaveDnipro radiation deployments in Ukraine; Johns Hopkins and INP Grenoble research partnerships). API and data access are governed by published API Terms of Service, and the company's Android app on Google Play extends consumer-side access. By November 2025, the network had surpassed 4,000 sensors across more than 65 countries, marking Magnasci SRL's 10-year operational milestone.

Core offering

uRADMonitor designs, manufactures and sells proprietary IoT environmental sensor hardware — including radiation dosimeters, multi-parameter air quality monitors, toxic gas sensors, radon monitors, noise meters and PM monitors — that continuously upload readings to a shared global open-data cloud network. Every device sold adds a sensor node to the worldwide uRADMonitor network, which currently spans 4,000+ devices across 65+ countries and exposes data through a public API, browser-based interactive map and Android mobile app. Hardware is sold directly via the uRADMonitor.com storefront (consumer through industrial price tiers), with select firmware/hardware designs released as open source on GitHub for community-driven network growth.

Product overview

uRADMonitor (operated by Magnasci SRL, Romania) is a global environmental monitoring platform offering a portfolio of IoT hardware sensors and a shared cloud network rather than a single unified product. The product line falls into several layered categories: (1) radiation dosimeters — MODEL A, MODEL KIT1, MODEL D, and the solar-powered MODEL B1; (2) multi-parameter air quality monitoring stations — MODEL A3, MODEL INDUSTRIAL, MODEL CITY, and MODEL A4; (3) compact specialty monitors — the SMOGGIE series (PM, CO2, GAS, HEAT-PM), MODEL seeRADON for radon, MODEL BUZZ for noise, and the high-sensitivity SENSIGAS; (4) parts and modules — the Serial Geiger Module and Stevenson Shield enclosures for MODEL A, A3, and A4. All sensors upload readings to the shared uRADMonitor cloud via connectivity options including Ethernet, WiFi, GSM, LoRaWAN, NB-IOT, LTE-M, and SDI-12 (on CITY), exposing data through the public uRADMonitor API, mobile apps, and a global map dashboard. Some products (KIT1, SMOGGIE) are released as open-source hardware and firmware on GitHub, allowing DIY integration into the same network.
