Covell Group Deploys ZyXEL Solution to Monitor Smart Irrigation System

Mellano and Company, an agro-industries farm customer, needed a reliable way to securely monitor its smart irrigation system 24/7 so it could track water levels, alkalinity, and other field data while conserving water and reducing irrigation costs. Zyxel provided a ZyWALL 2WG firewall/VPN gateway with 3G connectivity to support remote access in a hard-to-wire farm environment.

Zyxel’s ZyWALL 2WG was installed in a field cabinet to securely transmit sensor data to Mellano’s data center, with both wired Internet and cellular backup for “any time/anywhere” connectivity. The system has been running continuously since 2008 and delivered over 10% water savings, helping Mellano and Company offset the investment while improving crop yield and soil quality.
