Overview
The Solinst Level Sender 5 receives data on any chosen smart device. Solinst provides the option of a pre-programmed LevelSender with 4G SIM APN setup. The Solinst SIM card scans multiple networks and connects to the strongest signal. Low-cost, dataonly plans are billed directly through Solinst for convenience.
Compact Remote Stations
Can be discreetly installed inside a 2" diameter monitoring well or other housing. Each LevelSender 5 device has a single port to connect one datalogger. An optional splitter provides connections for two dataloggers, allowing the installation of a Levelogger and Barologger in the same well. Along with water level, temperature, conductivity, barometric, or rainfall data, battery level, and status updates from the remote LevelSender 5 are received with each data report.
Solinst Cloud
LevelSender telemetry system users can opt-in to the Solinst Cloud web-based data-management tool that enables configuration and management of remote devices. Quickly view and assess remote projects, set alarms, download reports and more using the online dashboard. Data plans start at no cost, with the option for expanding to low-cost plans for managing a larger network of Leveloggers.

Stone Lab: Cyanobacteria Monitoring in Ohio Lakes
Microcystin, one of several toxins produced by the cyanobacteria that form harmful algal blooms (HABs), has become a popular topic of lake research as the human health impacts of HABs become better understood. Stone Lab is one of the leading groups in algal bloom research on Lake Erie and other lakes in Ohio. For more than 100 years, Stone Lab has conducted biology research and provided science education and outreach to the region. Over the years, thousands of individuals of varying ages have learned from the resources Stone Lab provides. Stone Lab’s Research Coordinator and Senior Researcher, Justin Chaffin, learned of Stone Lab while an undergraduate student at Bowling Green State University Fireland Campus.

From Assessment to Angler: Continual Research Ensures Lake Erie Remains a Beacon of Freshwater Fishing
Lake Erie is well known for its abundant recreational fishing. Anglers come from across the country to try their luck at the “walleye capital of the world” and search for other freshwater species, such as bass, perch, and steelhead trout. As one of the world’s largest freshwater fisheries, much effort is made behind the scenes to maintain fishing opportunities for visitors to enjoy year after year, efforts that often go unnoticed by the public. One of the lake's most important economic and tourism centers is the city of Sandusky, home to the Sandusky Fisheries Research Station . As part of the Ohio Division of Wildlife, the unit serves as a base for assessing fish populations and managing harvest with partner agencies from around Lake Erie.

High Definition Stream Surveys: Informed Management in Local Waterways
When it comes to environmental monitoring, new stream survey methodologies have revealed a great deal about water quality and streambed conditions over time. Such information can be particularly important in leading restoration initiatives and prioritizing management decisions. Historically, stream surveys have been conducted at a single point along the stream, with data then extrapolated for miles up and downstream. However, Brett Connell, Hydrologist and Director of Sales at Trutta Environmental Solutions, started developing a more intensive stream survey format in his master's program in 2010 at the University of Tennessee.
