CHALLENGE
At SenArch, we’re tackling a major challenge:
Delivering reliable, sustainable off-grid connectivity where traditional power and network infrastructure can’t reach
In the IoT world, devices need strong, consistent signals to capture and transmit data but poor radio coverage often gets in the way. That’s where we come in.
With our solar-powered, self-sustaining IoT network gateways, we ensure seamless connectivity anywhere, whether boosting an existing system or creating a new one in even the most remote locations.
No matter how tough the environment, we make sure energy and data keep flowing.
Unpredictable Sunlight: Latitude, seasons, and daily cycles affect charging. Winters shorten daylight, while sunny days may exceed battery storage.
Weather Challenges: Cloud cover, snow, and rain reduce solar efficiency.
Climate Change Impact: Shifting sunshine patterns and extreme weather make historical data unreliable, requiring advanced analysis.
Energy Storage Issues: Excess energy on sunny days vs. power shortages during consecutive cloudy days.
Need for Self-Sustaining Systems: Solutions must be reliable, easy to install, and low-maintenance, especially in remote areas with limited support.
SOLUTION
SenArch is disrupting the existing paradigm by introducing a solar-powered, modular, low-energy LoRaWAN gateway that is specifically designed to overcome these challenges.
Unlike conventional solutions, SenArch’s system is engineered for energy efficiency, allowing it to function with minimal power consumption while ensuring continuous operation 24/7, 365 days a year.
The modularity of the product allows for easy adaptation to different environments, components can be swapped out or upgraded based on specific customer needs, ensuring optimal performance in a variety of conditions.
Moreover, SenArch leverages real-time telemetry and
remote management capabilities, which significantly reduce operational complexity and maintenance costs.
This makes it more resilient to seasonal and weather related variations, ensuring that the system remains operational even in challenging environments.
Additionally, SenArch’s approach lowers deployment costs by up to 75%, making it a cost-effective alternative to conventional grid-dependent infrastructure.
By addressing these challenges, SenArch is not just solving a technical issue, it is leading a systemic shift towards more sustainable, independent, and efficient off-grid communication networks.

Its real-time telemetry, remote management, and adaptable design enhance reliability:
making it a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to conventional infrastructure.
Low Power Consumption
Arch I achieves ultra-low power consumption, under 1.5W, by integrating a power-efficient LoRaWAN concentrator, a 4g modem for low-energy connectivity, and a carefully balanced CPU that offers reliable performance without wasteful consumption. This optimized design enables continuous off-grid operation, making it perfect for remote locations powered by solar energy or batteries.
The system is highly efficient, reducing energy consumption from the 15 to 30 watts used by conventional systems to just 2 watts. This translates to an energy reduction of approximately 45% to 91%, making it a significantly more sustainable solution.
Smart Energy Dimensioning: The Right Fit for Every Scenario
The system is carefully dimensioned for each specific use case in 95% of situations. The power requirements are calculated by professionals, considering the energy generated by the solar panel, the energy consumed by the device, and the amount of energy the battery can store. This ensures optimal performance and sustainability over the long term.
Modular System Flexibility
In the rare event that the system does not meet power requirements or other conditions, the modular design allows it to be easily adapted. Each component of the system is disaggregated, giving you the flexibility to customize the installation based on the specific conditions at each location.
Customizable Components:
Solar Panel: The size and capacity of the solar panel are selected based on the average number of sunny days in the winter in your area. For example, in the Northern Hemisphere, SenArch offers three options: a 100W solar panel for average climates, a 150W panel for colder climates with fewer sunshine hours, or a 50W panel for warmer regions with abundant sunshine.
Battery: Depending on the local climate, SenArch helps specify the best battery solution for your system. Bigger AGM in colder areas and smaller in warmer areas (sunny areas).
By customizing these components, SenArch ensures the system operates efficiently and reliably, even in remote or challenging environments.
WHY ARCH 1 IS BUILT FOR YOUR CHALLENGES?
SenArch’s system is designed to maximize reliability, balancing solar energy production, battery storage, and power consumption to ensure uninterrupted performance, even in low-light conditions and extended cloudy periods.
System Energy
Consumption and Production
The gateway operates with a power consumption of 1.5W for 24hour meaning 35Wh of energy, while its solar panel generates different energy outputs based on its size and weather conditions:
Battery Performance
The system’s battery capacity is designed to bridge the energy gap, ensuring operation even during prolonged cloudy periods.
WHY ARCH 1 IS BUILT FOR YOUR CHALLENGES?
Performance During Extended Cloudy Periods
The battery selection is critical for maintaining uninterrupted operation during prolonged periods without sunlight. Even in the most challenging conditions, such as winter months with only three sunny days per month, the system can remain operational. With a 150W solar panel, one full day of sunlight provides enough power for 9 days, meaning that just three full days of sunshine can fully recharge the battery.
With an empty battery (meaning it has space to be re-charged):
The system can generate power for another 3 days with a 50W solar panel. The system can generate power for another 6 days with a 100W solar panel. The system can generate power for another 9 days with a 150W solar panel.
