**A new category in water monitoring that replaces multi-component station setups
with a single compact unit, reducing power consumption and enabling deployment in
minutes**

AACHEN, Germany, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — [KISTERS](https://www.kisters.com.au)
today announced the launch of [**HyQuant Edge**](https://www.kisters.com.au/product/hyquant-edge/%20),
an all-in-one hydrological monitoring station powered by [**KIPTEC**](https://www.kisters.com.au/KIPTEC%20)(
_KISTERS Intelligence Platform Technology for Embedded Connectivity_). It is the
first hydrological solution to bring radar measurement, data logging, edge processing,
transmission, and cloud connectivity together in a single compact device – removing
the need for the multi-component station architectures that have defined the sector
for decades.

The launch addresses a structural challenge in quantitative hydrological monitoring.
Although across different industries devices have grown smaller, smarter, and more
autonomous, hydrology has remained behind, sometimes making deployment costly and
remote sites impractical.

_"Traditional monitoring stations have always been about collection and transfer.
That required multiple components, assembled on site, with no intelligence layer
in between. KISTERS designed HyQuant Edge to change that story."_ – Klaas Schulze
Dieckhoff, Global Head of R&D, KISTERS

**[HyQuant Edge](https://www.kisters.com.au/product/hyquant-edge/%20)** offers something
fundamentally different: Self-contained, adaptive systems where measurement, processing,
and communication work as one. This enables teams to deploy more sites with less
infrastructure, at lower cost per site.

Ideal for remote, temporary, and emergency deployments and network densification,
they are equally suited to permanent sites where infrastructure is limited.

[**HyQuant Edge**](https://www.kisters.com.au/product/hyquant-edge/%20) stations
are available in four versions – Level (L), Surface Velocity (V), Combined Level
and Velocity (L+V), and Discharge (Q) – L, V and L+V versions upgradeable to Q via
software update, with no hardware replacement required.

The stations are secure by design and connect to the cloud automatically. They save
power draw using event-driven adaptive logging and maintain data integrity during
connectivity outages via store-and-forward capability. Manufactured in Germany, 
they support LTE-Cat-M1/NB-IoT and integrate with existing monitoring platforms 
via open standards.

_"There have always been more places worth measuring than systems capable of reaching
them due to deployment constraints. HyQuant Edge is the choice that can fit within
existing infrastructure and budget constraints – especially valued in network densification."–
_Dr. Anton Felder, Global Director HydroMet, KISTERS
