LoRaWAN Operational Intelligence — Central Montana

Architecting
Operational Advantage.

BSG deploys industrial-grade smart sensors across rural Montana operations — agriculture, water systems, industrial sites, and educational facilities. We monitor what matters and tell you when something needs your attention, before it costs you.

What We Do

From sensor to screen — end to end.

Private LoRaWAN Networks

BSG designs and deploys private LoRaWAN wireless sensor networks built for the physical realities of Montana operations — long range, low power, and fully independent of cellular infrastructure. A single gateway covers miles of terrain, connecting dozens of sensors across fields, facilities, and remote sites with no monthly carrier costs and no coverage gaps.

Our networks are owned by you, installed on your infrastructure, and managed end-to-end by BSG. When the cellular tower goes dark, your sensors stay online.

Cloud Platform & Operational Visibility

Raw sensor data means nothing without context. BSG's cloud platform turns telemetry streams into actionable operational intelligence — delivered through a clean web portal and mobile app accessible from anywhere. Threshold-based alerting notifies your team the moment conditions go out of spec.

We eliminate blind spots: the grain bin you can't see from the shop, the pump house three miles out, the cold storage room that failed overnight. If something changes, you know immediately — not when it's already a problem.

Industries We Serve

Built for the operations that built Montana.

Water & Wastewater

Tank levels, lift stations, pressure, flow. Industrial-grade monitoring with the audit trail your regulators are going to ask for.

Irrigation Districts

Headgate position, flow, water levels, structure monitoring. Defensible documentation for water rights, equity, and board reporting.

Learn more

Grain, Hay & Irrigation

Pivot motor health, end-gun status, field weather, grain bins. Catch failures before they cost you a pass.

Learn more

Cattle & Livestock

Calving barns, water troughs, gates, summer range. Eyes on the operation across thousands of acres.

Real Operational Examples

A Montana greenhouse operation runs starter plants in a shoulder season. The heater runs all night because an exhaust fan was left on. By morning, $5,000 worth of plants are heat-stressed beyond recovery.

BSG's environmental sensors — running on battery, on a private network, fully independent of building wifi — would have detected the temperature climb at the first deviation from setpoint. SMS alert to the operator within minutes. Crisis averted.

Why BSG

Local expertise.
Enterprise capability.

BSG is a Montana company built to serve Montana operations. We don't subcontract your support to a call center. We know your terrain, your weather, and the practical realities of rural infrastructure — and we build systems that account for all of it.

Local — Townsend, MT

On-site support from a team that lives and works in central Montana. No remote-only contractors.

Industrial-grade hardware

Sensors and gateways rated for extreme temperatures, dust, and moisture — not consumer IoT devices.

No cellular costs

Private LoRaWAN means no SIM cards, no carrier contracts, and no data overages — ever.

Full-stack delivery

One vendor for network, sensors, cloud platform, and support. No integration finger-pointing.

Grant-ready documentation

BSG can support USDA ReConnect, RBDG, and rural infrastructure grant applications with system documentation and cost justification.

Schedule a Site Visit

BSG site visits are no-pressure. We come out, walk your operation, listen to where the pain is, and tell you honestly whether monitoring would help — and what it would cost.
