What Kallipr does

Kallipr Pty Ltd (ACN 619 635 942) is an Australian industrial IoT company, headquartered in Brisbane, that builds rugged remote monitoring hardware and a cloud platform for water utilities, councils, rail operators, mining companies, and agricultural enterprises. Its product portfolio centers on three hardware lines—the modular Captis Series 1 family (Pulse Lite, Multi, Recharge variants), the IP68-rated Captis S2 with patent-pending field-replaceable battery technology, and the integrated radar sensor Spectra—alongside a standalone 60 GHz Kallipr Radar Sensor. Devices communicate over CAT-M1 and NB-IoT cellular networks (Telstra in Australia; T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T in the US) and feed Kallipr Kloud, a Microsoft Azure-hosted cloud platform with three modules: Kloud Field (mobile setup app), Kloud Fleet (device management for thousands of assets), and Kloud Insights (alarm management and rainfall correlation). The platform integrates with customer SCADA systems and PI Historian via multi-endpoint configuration, and connects to flow meters from Arad, Bermad, Krohne, and Siemens.

Kallipr monetizes through four streams: hardware sales of Captis and Spectra devices; subscription access to Kallipr Kloud software modules; managed connectivity services over cellular networks; and Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) contracts where Kallipr supplies sensors, installation, connectivity, maintenance, and data delivery under a single contract. Pricing is quote-based and tied to deployment size and service model. The company employs an engineering-led direct enterprise sales motion targeting utilities (Sydney Water, Watercare Auckland, SA Water, Melbourne Water, Yarra Valley Water, Barwon Water, Hunter Water, Taswater), rail operators (Yarra Trams, Aurizon, Transdev Sydney with Alstom), mining majors (FMG, Rio Tinto, BHP), and government programs (NSW Reconstruction Authority NHDS, WaterNSW metering framework, City of Bellevue, City of Vancouver). Selected as approved Local Intelligence Devices under the NSW non-urban water metering framework, Captis units are deployed in over 15 countries serving 400+ businesses and producing 2.8 billion measurements annually.

The company operates as a privately held proprietary limited company with no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or leadership turnover in the source data, and a headcount in the 11–50 range. Its competitive advantages center on durable, IP68-rated hardware with 10+ year battery life and 15-minute installation, a full-stack platform, and regulatory certification under mandated Australian water compliance frameworks; references cite customer outcomes including 500+ blockages prevented and $400,000/month avoidance cost savings at Sydney Water, 6.6 million litres saved annually at Yarra Trams, and zone-based speed restriction savings at Aurizon.

Core offering

Kallipr sells an end-to-end industrial IoT remote monitoring system that combines rugged field hardware devices (Spectra radar sensor, Captis S2, and Captis Series 1 variants) with a cloud software platform (Kallipr Kloud) and managed cellular connectivity. The company targets water utilities, councils, rail operators, mining/oil & gas firms, and agricultural enterprises, offering both direct hardware/software sales and a Data-as-a-Service model where Kallipr takes full responsibility for supplying, installing, and maintaining the sensors and delivering the data.

Product overview

Kallipr is an Australian IoT monitoring company offering an end-to-end remote monitoring platform combining rugged field hardware devices with a cloud software platform. The product portfolio consists of three main hardware lines: (1) Spectra - an integrated radar device combining sensor and data logger in a single unit; (2) Captis S2 - advanced monitoring device for extreme conditions with quick battery replacement; (3) Captis Series 1 - modular family including Pulse Lite, Multi, and Recharge variants for various sensor configurations. These devices work with the Kallipr Kloud software platform comprising Fleet (device management), Insights (alarm management), and Field (mobile app) modules. Supporting products include the standalone Kallipr Radar Sensor, and specialized monitoring kits for rail, flood, and micro-climate applications. The system uses cellular connectivity (CAT-M1/NB-IoT) and integrates with customer SCADA systems and analytics platforms.
