The Challenge: Telemetry in Areas Without Coverage
The Argentine countryside presents a unique challenge for telemetry systems: vast expanses with irregular or non-existent cellular coverage. Agricultural equipment operates in plots where 4G signal disappears, and monitoring data is lost or arrives hours late.
As Carlos Giannecchini, Development Engineer at RELEVAR, explains:
"Keeping technology updated in control telemetry systems has always been a key challenge for us. We needed devices that worked with both cellular and WiFi, and were flexible enough to integrate with our existing systems."
The specific problems:
- ❌ Data loss in areas without cellular coverage
- ❌ Need to constantly change hardware providers
- ❌ Devices that didn't adapt to proprietary protocols
- ❌ Lack of specialized technical support for complex integrations
The Solution: Rinho Devices with Dual Connectivity
RELEVAR chose to integrate Rinho devices into their telemetry systems, specifically:
| Device | Application |
|---|---|
| Rinho Smart IoT | Monitoring agricultural implements, seeding sensors |
| Rinho Spider IoT | Advanced telemetry with CAN Bus for complex machinery |
Why Rinho?
-
Dual WiFi + Cellular connectivity: Equipment syncs data when reaching WiFi zones (barns, ranch headquarters) even if there was no cellular signal during operation.
-
Configuration flexibility: Open protocol that allowed RELEVAR to integrate devices with their proprietary platform without depending on closed formats.
-
Direct technical support: Access to Rinho's engineering team to resolve complex integrations.
-
GSM 2G/3G/4G connectivity: Multiple bands to maximize coverage in different rural areas.

The Implementation
Integration required joint work between RELEVAR and Rinho teams:
Phase 1: Protocol adaptation
- Bidirectional communication configuration
- Integration with RELEVAR servers
- Firmware adjustments for specific use cases
Phase 2: Field testing
- Validation in real operating conditions
- Connectivity tests in areas with intermittent coverage
- WiFi sync verification at rural access points
Phase 3: Deployment
- Installation in agricultural equipment of RELEVAR's clients
- Technical team training
- Post-implementation support
The Results
Since implementing Rinho devices, RELEVAR has achieved:
| Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| Data loss | Reduced to virtually 0% thanks to internal storage (LOG) |
| System stability | Uninterrupted communication even in areas without cellular |
| Integration time | Reduced due to protocol flexibility |
| Provider changes | Eliminated - stable long-term solution |
"The ability to use both WiFi and cellular connections, along with the implementation of external watchdogs, has allowed us to maintain uninterrupted communication, even in adverse conditions."
