“Conserv’s mission is to make environmental monitoring easy, accurate, and insightful, so our customers can preserve our cultural heritage for future generations. We knew that to deliver on this promise and serve the UK well we would need a reliable local partner,” said Dave Masom, CEO of Conserv. “To that end, we’re excited to partner with Gwentec, whose expertise in calibration and automation has served Hanwell’s customers for many years.

“Having tested various radio-based environmental monitoring solutions Gwentec believes that Conserv is ideally suited to heritage,” said Stephen Methuen, Director of Gwentec. “LoRaWAN is a modern and open radio standard which allows for future innovations in monitoring and control solutions. The Conserv software has a clean, sleek design with conservators as the end user in mind. The loggers themselves are small, discreet and combine many functions such as Temperature, Humidity and Lux into a single unit. We believe it is the ideal modern heritage environmental monitoring solution for the UK market.”
