GEODOS01B |
AAA |
Open-source scintillation detector of ionizing radiation. The device can be further modified according to specific requirements. Character of its construction makes it especially suitable for placement into mountaints for in-field measurements |
|
GEODOS devices are mounted on multiple significant locations around Europe at this moment.
One GEODOS device is installed in Chernobyl Red Forest site.
GEODOS devices are installed on multiple locations in Šumava. For example at Polednik watch tower.

The core of the detector is a scintillation crystal with SiPM detector.
The primary raw data is stored in SDcard memory. The IoT network is used for telemetry data transfer, device monitoring (e.g. temperature, humidity, pressure, battery voltage etc.). We are normally using the TTN, but the device could be configured for use with any IoT LoRa based network. For remote areas, mounting a IoT gateway in radio range of GEODOS instruments could be also a good option.
