Instrumentation for the parts of Aotearoa the network forgets.
Ikusasa New Zealand designs connected hardware and software for rural infrastructure — starting with remote water tank monitoring for farms, lifestyle blocks, and the service providers who look after them.
Illustrative trace — raw and filtered readings from a 79–81 GHz FMCW radar, the sensing method behind our first product.
First product
TankSense
In active developmentTankSense is a remote monitoring platform for rural water tanks — a web dashboard, mobile app, and purpose-built hardware working together so service providers can manage a fleet of customer tanks, technicians can install devices in the field, and tank owners can check their own water level from anywhere.
Devices are identified and claimed by tapping an NFC tag on install — there's no self-registration over the cellular network, so a device only ever enters the system through a deliberate action by someone standing in front of the tank.

How it comes together
One system, three layers
Hardware
A radar-sensing, cellular-connected unit built to run on modest power in places without reliable signal or mains power.
Roles
Owners, service providers, technicians, and customers each see exactly what their role needs — nothing more.
Platform
Telemetry, alerts, and fleet management in one place, built to serve many organisations from a single backend.
