## Homepage

- [Know where your equipment is. Know what it's doing.](/content/site-root.html): Fleet telemetry for equipment that doesn't want to be tracked. Built by engineers, not a growth team. (797 words)

## Articles & Blog Posts

- [Echolo Journal](/content/rss-xml.html) (829 words)
- [Terms of Service](/content/legal/terms/index.html): The terms that govern your use of the Echolo site, the Fleet platform, and Echolo hardware. (2,214 words)
- [Writing, when there's something worth saying.](/content/journal/index.html): Long-form writing from the Echolo team. Technical notes, field reports, and values pieces — published when there's something worth saying. (996 words)
- [The Platform](/content/platform/index.html): Echolo is a purpose-built fleet telemetry platform: BLE tags, MQTT pipeline, and the Fleet app — all owned end-to-end. (1,232 words)
- [Definitions, briefly](/content/journal/off-highway-iot-is-different/index.html): A connected forklift is a known problem. A haul truck on a mine bench, an excavator on a remote easement, or a tractor halfway across a section — those are different problems wearing the same name. (1,399 words)
- [Start with load, not panels](/content/journal/solar-and-battery-for-remote-sites/index.html): Two panels and a deep-cycle battery is not a power system. It's a power system that works in May. Here's how we actually size off-grid IoT installs so they survive February. (1,196 words)
- [Privacy Policy](/content/legal/privacy/index.html): How Echolo collects, uses, and protects your information. (1,293 words)
- [The datasheet number is a lab number](/content/journal/what-a-ble-tag-battery-lasts/index.html): The datasheet says five years. The tag on the excavator went dark in fourteen months. Neither number is a lie — they're answers to different questions. Here's what actually drains a coin cell in the field, and why tags die all at once instead of slowly. (1,131 words)
- [Connectivity Dead Zones](/content/journal/connectivity-dead-zones/index.html): We've written about picking a good cellular link. This is the other half of the problem — what the system does when there's no link at all, for a minute, an hour, or a whole shift. Off-highway, that isn't an edge case. It's Tuesday. (1,247 words)
- [Day 0 — the survey already happened](/content/journal/the-first-30-days-of-a-deployment/index.html): Signing the PO is the start, not the finish. The first month decides whether a deployment becomes infrastructure the site forgets it has, or a support ticket that never closes. Here's the arc — a composite of the ones that went well. (1,017 words)
- [Where AI actually helps in an IoT stack](/content/journal/ai-in-iot-what-actually-runs/index.html): Every IoT vendor has an AI story. Here's where machine learning genuinely earns its place in a real pipeline — and where it quietly gets replaced by a for loop. (890 words)
- [7:42 AM — the inbox paragraph](/content/journal/a-day-in-fleet/index.html): The new Fleet App ships soon. Instead of a feature list, here's what a Tuesday looks like for an ops lead with it open — from the 7am inbox paragraph to the 5pm audit log. (1,078 words)
- [The setup looks simple](/content/journal/rental-hours-and-the-return-day/index.html): The rental house's invoice says the machine ran 180 hours. Your operator swears it was closer to 140. Both of you are reading a meter — only one of you was watching it the whole time. Here's how telemetry settles it without starting a second fight. (996 words)
- [The mounting location, not the site](/content/journal/site-surveys-what-to-measure/index.html): A spec sheet tells you what the hardware can do. A site survey tells you whether it will. Two hours on a roof saves a six-week return-trip story. (1,035 words)
- [On-Premise IoT](/content/platform/on-premise/index.html): Echolo's full platform, running on your network. Air-gapped appliance or hybrid edge with cloud sync — for regulated, secure, or disconnected environments. (565 words)
- [Range depends on what’s in the way, not what’s on the datasheet](/content/journal/lorawan-in-the-wild/index.html): Datasheets talk about 10-mile range and decade-long battery life. Fish farms, remote sites, and metal-heavy yards tell a different story. What we actually see in the field. (634 words)
- [What manufacturers actually accept](/content/journal/cmh-and-warranty/index.html): When a $40,000 engine fails at 1,840 hours and the warranty runs to 2,000, what counts as proof? The boring bookkeeping that decides whether the claim gets paid. (836 words)
- [Echolo OLR · Outdoor Long-Range BLE Hub](/content/hardware/olr/index.html): Rugged outdoor gateway for yards, construction sites, and anywhere BLE has to survive weather. IP54 sealed, -40 °C operating, plug-and-play. Wall or pole mount straight out of the box. (451 words)
- [The five definitions, ranked by what they try to capture](/content/journal/what-running-actually-means/index.html): Every yard tracks "machine hours" and every yard means something slightly different by it. The definition you pick changes the number by 20% or more, and decides whether your service intervals work. (639 words)
- [The layout](/content/journal/data-pipelines-without-drama/index.html): Every IoT company eventually writes one. Every one of them is secretly held together by queues, dead-letter exchanges, and the hope that nothing fails at 3am. Here's what ours looks like, plainly. (741 words)
- [What actually moves the needle](/content/journal/predictive-maintenance-isnt-magic/index.html): The industry loves to talk about AI + IoT for equipment management. Most of what actually ships in production is thresholds, trendlines, and someone willing to look at the dashboard. (589 words)
- [The clipboard is rounded](/content/journal/cmh-telemetry-vs-clipboard/index.html): The dashboard says 4,820 hours. The operator's logbook says 5,180. The gap is real, it's persistent, and it's costing someone money. Here's how to think about it. (742 words)
- [The carrier you tested with at the office isn’t the carrier at the yard](/content/journal/cellular-backhaul/index.html): Everyone wants to talk about sensors and dashboards. The thing that decides whether your deployment works is the cellular link, and almost nobody designs it carefully enough. (590 words)
- [Built by engineers,  not a growth team.](/content/about/index.html): Echolo is a small shop that ships IoT systems end-to-end. Built by engineers, not a growth team. (633 words)

Ships ready to talk to Fleet and the on-prem appliance alike. (494 words)
- [The long-haul hub. LoRa for the sensors BLE can't reach.](/content/hardware/ilh-85/index.html): Semtech SX1301 LoRaWAN gateway with 11 km radius, 2,000-device capacity, and an embedded network server so it can run standalone. Ideal when BLE isn't enough and you need to cover fields, farms, or a whole facility with a single unit. (572 words)
- [Connection churn is the enemy](/content/journal/mqtt-at-scale/index.html): What we've actually learned running an MQTT pipeline in production — the mistakes we made, the instrumentation that saved us, and the parts of the protocol nobody warns you about. (478 words)
- [What we've built. What we can build for you.](/content/solutions/index.html): What Echolo has built — across fleet telemetry and bespoke IoT. Platform-fit deployments and custom builds. (251 words)
- [”Line of sight” is a lie in a yard](/content/journal/ble-in-a-yard/index.html): A field note from a gateway install. Rust, forklifts, unexpected RF geometry, and what a 12km datasheet range means in a building made of steel. (502 words)
- [Three hubs for three realities.](/content/hardware/index.html): Echolo's hubs — BLE 5 indoor + outdoor, plus a LoRaWAN gateway for the long-haul use cases. Built for the environments your data actually runs in. (300 words)
- [The logo wall is a loan](/content/journal/why-we-dont-name-customers/index.html): There are two stories in every B2B deployment — the one the vendor wants told, and the one the customer actually lived. We default to neither. (399 words)
- [The problem](/content/solutions/heavy-equipment/index.html): Track skid-steers, lifts, and generators across distributed yards. Real-time status, CMH accrual, and alerts when an asset leaves its geofence. (221 words)
