Connectivity That Works When Infrastructure Fails
Dual cellular and satellite connectivity ensures your flood monitoring system operates anywhere in the world — even when local networks are down.
Why Localized Networks Fail During Emergencies
Many flood monitoring systems rely on local gateways, LoRaWAN mesh networks, or single-path cellular connections. These approaches have a critical flaw: they often fail precisely when floods occur.
Power Outages
Local gateways and repeaters require power. When floods knock out electricity, LoRaWAN networks go dark exactly when you need them most.
Tower Damage
Severe weather can damage local communication towers and antennas, leaving entire areas without connectivity during critical flood events.
Network Congestion
During emergencies, local cellular networks become overloaded with calls and data, preventing critical flood alerts from getting through.
Limited Range
LoRaWAN and other local mesh networks have limited range. Remote sensors outside coverage areas simply cannot communicate.
The bottom line: If your flood warning system depends on local infrastructure, it may fail during the exact conditions it was designed to monitor. Levelynx eliminates this single point of failure with global, infrastructure-independent connectivity.
Cellular Connectivity for Everyday Operations
For most deployments, cellular connectivity provides the ideal balance of speed, cost, and reliability. Our gateways use LTE/4G networks to transmit water level data and receive configuration updates.
Wide Coverage
Works anywhere with cellular signal — ideal for urban, suburban, and most rural locations.
Fast Data Transmission
High-speed connectivity enables frequent updates and rapid alert delivery during changing conditions.
Cost-Effective
Lower per-message costs make cellular ideal for routine monitoring with frequent data updates.
Multi-Carrier Support
Our gateways automatically select the strongest available network for reliable connectivity.
Ideal For:
- Urban and suburban deployments
City drainage systems, neighborhood creeks, municipal infrastructure
- High-frequency monitoring
Locations requiring minute-by-minute updates during storm events
- Budget-conscious deployments
Where connectivity costs need to be minimized
Satellite Connectivity for Remote and Disaster Scenarios
When cellular networks are unavailable or unreliable, our satellite connectivity ensures your flood data still gets through. This is essential for remote locations and critical during major flood events when local infrastructure fails.
Truly Global Coverage
Works anywhere on Earth — from remote Texas ranches to international deployments.
Infrastructure Independent
Communicates directly with orbiting satellites. No cell towers, no local gateways, no single points of failure.
Remote Location Ready
Perfect for river crossings, backcountry campgrounds, and locations with no cellular coverage.
Disaster Resilient
When floods knock out local infrastructure, satellite connectivity keeps alerts flowing.
Communicating Outside the Flood Zone
Unlike systems that rely on local gateways, Levelynx sensors communicate directly to infrastructure outside the affected area. When your community is flooded, your alerts route through networks that are still operational.
Flood Zone
Local infrastructure damaged or overloaded
Global Network
Alerts route through operational infrastructure worldwide
Cellular Roaming
Multi-carrier SIMs automatically connect to the strongest available network, routing around local outages.
Satellite Bypass
When all cellular options fail, satellite connectivity bypasses terrestrial infrastructure entirely.
Cloud Processing
Data processing and alert generation happen in geographically distributed cloud infrastructure.
Redundant Paths for Mission-Critical Alerts
Flood warnings are too important to rely on a single communication path. Levelynx provides multiple redundant connectivity options that automatically failover when primary paths are unavailable.

Not Dependent on LoRaWAN
While LoRaWAN can be cost-effective for some IoT applications, it requires local gateways that become single points of failure during emergencies. Levelynx communicates directly to global networks without intermediate infrastructure.
Designed for Infrastructure Disruption
Major floods often damage the very infrastructure that traditional systems depend on. Our dual-path approach ensures alerts get through even when local power, cell towers, and networks are compromised.
Reliable Connectivity, Anywhere in the World
Whether you are monitoring urban drainage systems, remote river crossings, or campground creeks, Levelynx provides the connectivity you need to keep your community safe.
Cities & Towns
Reliable alerts even when local infrastructure is overwhelmed during major flood events.
Remote Locations
Satellite connectivity enables monitoring where cellular coverage does not exist.
Campgrounds & Parks
Protect visitors at recreational areas near creeks and rivers with reliable flood warnings.
