What RioT Technology Corp. does

RioT Technology Corp. is a privately held Canadian company, founded in 2016 and headquartered in North Saanich, British Columbia, that designs, develops, and manufactures low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) wireless solutions for remote environmental monitoring. The company's core technology is the proprietary Wireless Intelligent Sensor Protocol (WISP), developed over more than three years and marketed under the TITAN brand, which uses unlicensed wireless spectrum to connect SDI-12 sensors across distances of up to 15 km per hop and up to 60 km with repeaters, delivering coverage of up to 500 km² per network. Its product portfolio centers on the TITAN Radius family — Radius Mote, Radius Repeater, and Radius Gateway — together with the Orbit line of cellular and GOES satellite data uplinks (Orbit Xo, Orbit Xo Radius, Orbit GOES.Link Radius), and the CloudInsight cloud-based data hub platform. RioT also holds the GroPoint brand, acquired via patent purchase in 2018, for soil moisture sensing technologies used in agricultural and environmental applications.

The company serves three primary verticals: agriculture (irrigation optimization and soil moisture monitoring), science and research (remote environmental data collection), and government (large-scale environmental monitoring and water management). All product sales occur through direct B2B enterprise sales channels with quote-based pricing; no reseller or distributor network is identified. Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) hardware sales of TITAN Radius and Orbit products, (2) recurring annual subscriptions to the CloudInsight software platform included with hardware for the first year and available as yearly renewals thereafter, and (3) usage-based cellular data fees for Orbit products pre-provisioned in North America, with overages charged at $2.00 per MB beyond 25 MB per month. By 2021, RioT products had been deployed in over 40 countries globally.

Operationally, RioT runs with a small team of 1-10 employees that includes recent graduates and seasoned engineers with backgrounds in agriculture, Silicon Valley technology, and remote environmental monitoring. The company has no disclosed venture or private equity funding, no public ownership structure, and no named institutional investors. In 2019, it received the VIATEC Award for Innovation Excellence in Hardware and was a finalist for Startup Of The Year in the Greater Victoria region.

Core offering

RioT Technology Corp. designs, develops, and manufactures low-power wide-area (LPWA) wireless networking hardware and supporting cloud software for remote environmental monitoring applications. Its product portfolio includes the TITAN Radius wireless sensor network system (Radius Motes, Repeaters, and Gateways) using a proprietary WISP protocol to connect SDI-12 sensors up to 60 km, the Orbit line of cellular and GOES satellite data uplinks, and the CloudInsight cloud-based data hub software platform for configuration, visualization, and alarm notifications.

Product overview

RioT Technology Corp. offers a dual-product portfolio centered on LPWAN wireless sensor networking and cellular/satellite data uplink solutions. The TITAN Radius system (comprising Radius Mote, Radius Repeater, and Radius Gateway) enables long-range, low-power wireless connection of SDI-12 sensors across extended geographic areas using unlicensed spectrum, with coverage up to 60km per network. The Orbit product line (Orbit Xo, Orbit Xo Radius, and Orbit GOES.Link Radius) provides all-in-one cellular and satellite data uplink capabilities, with the Radius-integrated variants combining LPWAN gateway and uplink functions in single devices. Both product lines are managed through the CloudInsight cloud-based software platform. RioT also holds the GroPoint brand for soil moisture sensing technologies acquired in 2018. The products work together: TITAN Radius sensors connect to Orbit gateways (or standalone Radius Gateways) which transmit data via cellular or satellite to CloudInsight for analysis.

Products and services

• TITAN Radius Wireless Sensor Network Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) wireless sensor network platform using unlicensed wireless spectrum to connect SDI-12 sensors across distances up to 15km per hop, extending to 60km with repeaters. Designed for remote environmental monitoring applications requiring extensive geographic coverage at low cost.
• Radius Mote SDI-12 Wireless LPWAN Slave/Bridge device that connects directly to SDI-12 sensors (up to 10 per Mote) and wirelessly transmits data to a Radius Gateway or Repeater over distances up to 15 km (9.3 miles). Sold as a standalone unit for deploying sensor endpoints in remote environments.
• Radius Repeater SDI-12 Wireless LPWAN Network Extender that extends the range of a wireless SDI-12 network by an additional 15km. Supports up to 6 Motes/slaves per repeater, with up to 3 repeaters per network.
• Radius Gateway SDI-12 Wireless Radio LPWAN Master serving as the central hub of a Radius network. Bridges remote SDI-12 sensors up to 15 km directly, or up to 60 km using Repeaters, and transmits data to cloud-based storage via connected uplink device.
