Edgewater Wireless SmartBarn Hub
Edgewater Wireless SmartBarn Hub is a retrofit-friendly wireless gateway that uses long-range mesh radio to connect distributed sensors across older or spread-out stables with minimal cabling. Its technical advantage is reduced installation labor and maintenance costs—a clear financial benefit for facilities that would otherwise need expensive rewiring—while still interoperating with higher-level platforms on this list. Compared with wired or all-in-one systems, Edgewater prioritizes connectivity resiliency and battery life for sensor fleets as the core product value.
