HyQuant Edge -
A monitoring station in a single sensor.
The first radar sensor-based monitoring station for hydrology – built on embedded intelligence.
Reduce infrastructure. Expand coverage.
Monitoring shouldn’t be this complex.
Water monitoring has looked the same for a long time. Traditional stations rely on multiple components — sensors, data loggers, telemetry, and power systems — all integrated into bulky setups assembled on site. Each new deployment adds complexity, cost, and time. As networks scale, so does the problem.
HyQuant Edge changes that — not by tweaking what already exists, but by rethinking it from the ground up.
Not a sensor upgrade. A new category in hydrology.
Traditional stations stop at data collection and transfer. KIPTEC, KISTERS’ Intelligence Platform for Embedded Connectivity, embedds those same capabilities while adding the missing intelligence layer directly into a single chip, making the station as compact as a sensor.
Dynamic logging, data processing, power management, intelligent transmission, and cloud connectivity – all built in.
That is what makes HyQuant Edge possible.

Just add power.
HyQuant Edge is the first radar sensor-based monitoring station in hydrology. It only needs external power to operate fully autonomously.
No external loggers. No additional telemetry hardware. No complex setup.
Core capabilities.
Less time in the field,
full remote control.
Remote configuration, updates, and
device management reduce site visits
and give you full control at all times.
One device,
a complete station.
Just add power, and it runs.
Everything else is already
built in.
Streamlined water
discharge monitoring.
A compact, combined radar that also
fits in narrow channels and constrained
structures – where bulky setups don’t.
Up and running fast.
Built to last.
Fast installation, long-term
performance. Built to work continuously
with minimal intervention.
Self running
monitoring.
Automatic data collection, processing,
and delivery – with diagnostics and
smart optimisation built in.
Grow your network,
not your infrastructure.
Lower cost per site means you
can scale faster – without adding
complexity or extra equipment.
Ideal for.
- Remote monitoring sites
- Temporary & emergency deployments
- Network densification
- Urban constrained sites
- Permanent deployments
Simplified by design.
More sites. Fewer resources. One device does it all — helping hydrology teams deploy more monitoring coverage, faster, with fewer resources and lower cost per site.
Want to go further?
The radar brand you already trust.
HyQuant is the water radar solution specified by hydrology agencies, basin authorities, and monitoring teams around the globe.
HyQuant Edge is the newest member of the HyQuant range of water radar sensors. It carries that same proven measurement performance — across Level, Velocity, Combined, and Discharge — now packed into a complete station, in the exact same size as a classic HyQuant sensor.
Same reliability. Entirely new possibilities.

How can HyQuant Edge help you?
FAQs.
What is HyQuant Edge and how is it different from a traditional monitoring station?
Traditional monitoring stations combine a sensor, data logger, modem, and power management as separate external components — assembled and wired on site. HyQuant Edge integrates all of this into a single compact unit, and goes further by adding smart edge processing, intelligent power management, and automatic cloud connectivity — all built in by default. The result is a complete hydrological monitoring station in the size of a sensor.
Do I need KISTERS datasphere to use HyQuant Edge?
No. HyQuant Edge operates fully autonomously once powered and can send data directly to your existing monitoring platforms or servers. Datasphere is an optional cloud platform — native in every HyQuant Edge — that you activate when you need it. It adds real-time visualisation, remote configuration, smart alerts, and network management from day one.
What versions of HyQuant Edge are available?
HyQuant Edge is available in four versions: Level (L), Surface Velocity (V), Combined Level and Velocity (L+V), and Discharge (Q) — covering the full range of hydrological monitoring needs.
Is KIPTEC a product I can buy separately?
No. KIPTEC isn’t an add-on. It’s embedded during manufacturing and is only available in select devices, namely KISTERS Edge sensors. It cannot be added to third-party sensors or retrofitted into devices already deployed in the field.
What happens with the classic HyQuant sensor?
Both products are part of the HyQuant range portfolio.
Although one is a station and the other is a sensor, both share the same core design and power options (12 VDC or external solar kit) and serve different applications:
- HyQuant Classic sensors are ideal for fixed, infrastructure-based networks where data is logged or transmitted via external devices (datalogger or modem).
- HyQuant Edge stations are suited for temporary, remote, or densification projects that need autonomous operation and direct cloud connectivity without extra hardware or infrastructure.
Both work well in permanent deployments, it depends on the monitoring setting.
