According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a rugged, energy-efficient sensing, analytics, alerting, and control system tailored to cold desert regions exhibiting extreme diurnal temperature variation, low precipitation, high wind, sparse vegetation, and fragile ecosystems, for continuous environmental monitoring and hazard mitigation. A distributed plurality of ruggedized sensor nodes measures temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, soil moisture, air quality, and snow cover, with on-node filtering and deep-sleep duty cycling for ultra-low power. Telemetry is conveyed via long-range, low-power wireless links including LoRa/LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, with optional NB-IoT and satellite fallback to at least one gateway. An edge/cloud analytics layer executes validation, anomaly detection, predictive modeling, threshold evaluation, and event classification optimized for low-bandwidth operation. An alerting subsystem disseminates graded notifications through SMS, email, mobile apps, IVR, radio, or siren endpoints to enable early response by communities and authorities. An automated control subsystem actuates heating, ventilation, irrigation, and protective barriers under rule-based logic augmented by statistical and machine-learning models to reduce risk and resource waste. Power is sustained off-grid using renewable inputs, energy harvesting, cold-tolerant batteries, and adaptive power management for long-term low-temperature operation. Technical advancement lies in the integrated, low-temperature-optimized architecture combining multi-modal sensing, resilient communications, edge/cloud intelligence, multi-channel alerting, and closed-loop actuation specifically engineered for cold desert constraints, improving early hazard detection, rapid mitigation, and sustainable resource use.
