It became known that the MTC company began selling a portable sensor for indoor climate monitoring, made in the form of an egg. The device called “Celsium” is the first sensor developed by MTS. The assembly of the new items is carried out by RedBees, a manufacturer of devices for the Internet of Things (IoT).

According to the available data, the sensor works in the NB-IoT network and allows monitoring of temperature, humidity, pressure and indoor air quality. Celsium records the received data and transfers it to the cloud platform every 10 minutes. If deviations from the norm are detected, it notifies the user about it through the companion application “Celsium” for devices based on Android and iOS. An unlimited number of sensors can be linked to one account.

«MTS NB-IoT network covers more than 90% of potential consumers in 80 regions of the country and allows the device to work for up to two years without changing the battery even in the most inaccessible places, for example, in warehouses or basements. Our sensors are already working even in Antarctica – they control the microclimate in the living quarters of the Progress station“, – quotes the source of the words of Armen Avetisyan, vice president of MTS on the Internet of things and industrial automation.

It is assumed that “Celsium” will be useful for retailers, food and pharmaceutical industries, since it can be used to control the conditions of storage and transportation of goods. For IT companies, the device will help prevent equipment damage. MTS also believes that educational institutions, museums and other organizations that require indoor temperature and humidity control are potential clients. MTS also intends to include the device in the register of Russian telecom equipment.

The Celsium package, in addition to the device itself, includes an NB-IoT SIM chip and access to the platform for two years. The device can be purchased for 7000 rubles on the MTS website later this month.
