Pacific Sensor Technologies Launches EFENTO Brand: Cutting-Edge Bluetooth And NB-IoT Data Loggers For Industrial & Environmental Monitoring
By Julius Ewudo, Cyber Era NG ASEAN Region Representative
A proud Australian-owned, NATA accredited and ISO 9001:2015 certified provider of premium monitoring and measurement solutions, Pacific Sensor Technologies Pty Ltd (PST), has announced the launch of its new brand, EFENTO, bringing next-generation data logging to industries across Australia and beyond.
EFENTO represents PST’s commitment to delivering advanced, reliable, and user-friendly data-logging technology to support sectors like medical and pharmaceutical, food storage and distribution, environmental monitoring, and mining. The new EFENTO lineup features both Bluetooth-enabled and NB-IoT data loggers, providing seamless and flexible data capture for diverse operational needs.
EFENTO Product Highlights
1. Bluetooth Data Loggers
Wireless Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology enables quick, easy smartphone configuration and real time data retrieval using the EFENTO mobile app or, through Efento Gateways, to Efento Cloud.
Long battery life—up to 5 years on a single AA battery under typical usage, which can be replaced by the user
High-capacity memory—stores approximately 40,000 readings before overwriting the oldest data
Accurate temperature monitoring: ranges from –35 °C to +70 °C, boasting ±0.4 °C accuracy (0 °C to +70 °C) and ±0.5 °C (–35 °C to 0 °C)
Supports a wide array of measurements: temperature, humidity, air pressure, soil moisture, open/close status, pulse counting, air quality, water leakage, and more
Compatible with EFENTO Gateway, enabling real-time, remote monitoring via EFENTO Cloud – REMOVE this point
Robust data security with encrypted wireless transmission and OTA firmware updates
2. NB-IoT Data Loggers
Direct cellular connectivity using NB-IoT technology—no need for gateways or routers. Ideal for remote monitoring across distributed sites
Equipped with BLE for convenient smartphone-based setup and configuration
Supports a wide array of measurements: temperature, humidity, air pressure, soil moisture, open/close status, pulse counting, air quality, water leakage, and more
Exceptional battery life—capable of up to 10 years maintenance-free and up to 195,000 transmissions under optimal signal conditions
Stores up to 30,000 to 40,000 readings, with buffering during connectivity loss and auto-synching once resumed
Edge analytics for on-device decision-making, remote configuration, and secure over-the-air firmware updates using a delta mechanism
Designed with integration in mind, compatible with EFENTO Cloud and other platforms via CoAP and Protocol Buffers, and supported by SDKs and documentation
Why EFENTO Matters
Scalable monitoring: Bluetooth models suit localised needs; NB-IoT models excel in wide-area, autonomous deployments.
Cost-efficiency: Wireless designs reduce infrastructure and maintenance costs.
Reliable & secure: High battery life, encrypted data, and OTA updates ensure dependable, long-term operation.
Flexibility: Wide range of sensor types (including thermocouples, low/high temperature probes, humidity, I/O, etc.) for tailored applications
