Diver-NETZ®
Wireless Groundwater Monitoring System
- Improve data collection efficiency
- Simplify monitoring workflows
- Gain a complete understanding of groundwater conditions
Overview
From wireless field data collection and recording, to project execution in the office, Diver-NETZ is a complete network of first-class technologies that integrates superior field instrumentation with the industry's latest wireless communication and data management capabilities. All Diver-NETZ components are designed to streamline project workflows, enabling you to effectively manage your groundwater resources for the long-term.
From the first release in 2007 of the original Diver-NETZ, the system has undergone a series of improvements and new features were added to it. The system offers the following key benefits:
- Improved wireless communication over longer distances
- 360-degree homogenous radiation pattern
- Improved battery life of 5 years (depending on usages)
- A barometric datalogger is included in each DXT
- Customizable cable lengths
- Water resistant housing

How does Diver-NETZ work?
A Diver groundwater datalogger is suspended on a DXT cable which is connected to a Diver-DXT radio device at the top of the well. A gateway device, the Diver-Gate, is able to establish a connection with the Diver-DXT (one or multiple Diver-DXTs) in a well within a 500m range and collect the Diver data wirelessly.
There are two different Diver-NETZ configurations: Diver-NETZ Mobile and Diver-NETZ Static.
Diver-NETZ Mobile
Diver-NETZ Mobile requires that a field technician carries a portable Diver-Gate(M) device into the field. When the device is within radio range of the Diver-DXT, the Diver data can then be collected wirelessly to the Diver-Gate(M), which then sends the data via Bluetooth connection to your smartphone device. Downloaded data can be automatically sent to the office via GSM/GPRS network or alternatively the mobile device can be physically brought back to the office, where the data can be analyzed or interpreted using desktop software.
Diver-NETZ Static
Diver-NETZ Static consists of a Diver-Gate(S) device placed permanently in the field within the radio range of the Diver-DXT. At a scheduled interval the Diver-Gate wirelessly connects to nearby Diver-DXT devices and collects the data. Through a connection with the GSM/GPRS network, this data is automatically forwarded to a server and can then be visualized in the Diver-Hub online portal. Desktop software programs like Diver-Office and Diver-Office Premium can be used to interpret, validate or visualize the Diver data.
