Sencrop 4G weather stations: agricultural weather enters a new era
• 4 min read
With the new 4G box, Sencrop is modernising connected weather for farmers. Expanded network coverage, modular sensors, longevity, repairability, and reliability: a real technological breakthrough for all farmers, whether they grow vines or cereals.
🌍 Wider network coverage… without an additional subscription!
With its universal 4G/2G connection, Sencrop's new 4G base station breaks free from the limitations of the past. The adoption of a widely used GSM communication standard guarantees the transmission through local operators in each country, ensuring access to the mobile network even in the most remote areas.
The station now automatically selects the best available signal for smooth data transmission.
💡
Why not 5G? Because 4G has a more mature, more established network, and, above all, one that's sufficient to transmit the data collected by the stations. In short, it's the most widespread solution today and therefore the most effective.
Long story short:
Compared to the old network used: the 4G speed is an expanding speed and offers better network quality, which adapts automatically.
4G offers better coverage overall, even in rural areas.
Compared to using the 5G network: 5G modules are more expensive and do not cover such a large area in 2025.
Weather stations designed to last and evolve
Modular, scalable, sustainable
The new generation of Sencrop weather stations is based on a modular system. You start with the essentials (rain gauge, temperature, humidity) and add the sensors you need: anemometer, soil probe, humidity sensor, etc.
Sencrop also offers precision stations, to be placed in the heart of your fields, as close as possible to the need (e.g.: Leafcrop 4G to measure humidity in the heart of the foliage).
The result: a tailor-made station that you adapt to your crops, your objectives... and your seasons.
💡
Weather stations are sold in packs tailored to each need, with the right assortment of sensors. Stations that need to be placed in fields for greater accuracy are offered with their own base so they can be placed in the best location.
Simplified maintenance
Each sensor can be replaced individually. No need to return the entire station: you gain autonomy, time, and peace of mind.
And of course, each element is available as a spare part (panel, antenna, etc.) for better repairability, always with a two-year warranty.
Solar energy, record autonomy
The combination of the solar panel and battery allows the station to be recharged continuously. And don't worry, even in the event of a lack of sunshine, the station can last up to 80 days (2.5 months) without any energy source. This guarantees uninterrupted weather monitoring!
➕ Power supply is also possible in multi-source: if all the stations are delivered with a solar panel, you can also connect them to the mains or external battery. This makes the station adaptable for installations in buildings or greenhouses (for the Soilcrop 4G capacitive probe or the Thermocrop 4G temperature and humidity sensor for example).

Better support for your application
And because reliable data is essential without properly installed stations, we are also improving the monitoring of your installation. With the new generation of weather stations, we are now able to monitor more elements and offer you several monitoring options:
Alerts in the event of a clogged sensor or anomaly (Reminder: it is recommended to clean your station regularly)
A step-by-step installation guide
Monitoring the “health” of your station: battery level, simplified part returns, etc.
Your station is equipped with software that allows for automatic and remote updates, without the need to return to the station. This way, it always stays in top shape!
Everything is designed to save you time... and avoid unpleasant surprises.
