Ambient Air Quality Monitor

Prana Air uses five core sensor technologies: Laser, Electrochemical, NDIR optical, PID and metal-oxide. Each device cross-checks them against each other. We have validated our systems against industry-standard Beta Attenuation Monitors (BAM). Independent research groups have also tested them, so you can trust the data for both compliance and research.

All units are factory-calibrated, and we can supply calibration certificates. For CAAQMS systems, our team supports on-site zero-span and multi-point calibration with certified gases. Other models can be adjusted remotely through a firmware update. We usually advise you to recalibrate the units every 6 to 12 months, based on the conditions at the site.

Unlike many low-cost sensors, Prana Air devices use five cross-checked sensor types. They also have dual PM inlets that check each other. Built-in software corrects for temperature and humidity. When this is combined with cloud-side data correction, the approach gives you accuracy that meets professional research standards.

Yes, our monitors sit in an IP68-rated weatherproof housing. This is the highest standard for keeping out dust and water. They are built to run all day and all night in rain, fog, high humidity and dusty settings, with very little risk of electronic failure.

Yes, select models such as the Prana Sense include a built-in GPS antenna. It adds precise map coordinates to each data point on its own. This is vital for smart city work and for construction projects that need to log data with a verified location.

Our monitors have dual-layer storage, with a built-in Micro SD card slot for offline logging. If the network fails, the device keeps on storing readings locally. Once the network is back, all of the stored data syncs to the cloud on its own. This gives you a complete data record with no gaps.

AQI.IN is our own air quality data and insights platform. It acts as the central data hub for all of our ambient monitors. Data sent from the sensors is processed in the cloud. It is then shown on a detailed web dashboard, on phone apps and on its own TV app, so you can view it all in real time.

We provide three main ways to access your data. The Web Dashboard is for a detailed look at past data and for building reports. The Mobile App is for real-time tracking and threshold alerts. The TV App shows live air and weather readings on smart screens in offices or in public areas.

Yes, we offer LED display and Android TV options that are made for on-site viewing. Live metrics, such as AQI and PM levels, can run non-stop on large outdoor boards or on indoor screens at site entrances. This helps safety officers act at once if pollution levels go above the safe thresholds.

Our monitors support many ways to connect. Wi-Fi suits urban sites. GSM (4G) suits remote or construction sites. RS-485 (MODBUS) links to industrial SCADA or PLC systems. LoRa serves long-range IoT networks. An SD card also keeps a local backup of the data.

Yes. Through RS-485 (MODBUS), our ambient monitors can plug straight into SCADA, PLC and BMS platforms. This lets the site respond on its own. It can, for instance, start dust suppression systems or ventilation when the pollution thresholds are reached.

Yes. Prana Air monitors are built to meet global standards such as WELL Building, LEED, ISHRAE and the WHO guidelines. This makes them an ideal fit for projects around the world that seek health and sustainability certifications.

Yes, the Prana Sense model has a built-in solar panel and a high-capacity rechargeable battery. It can run for up to 96 hours, even with no sunlight at all. It is a perfect fit for remote sites out in forests, along highways or in smart city nodes where there is no power supply.

Over 300 business clients around the world trust our monitors. They include Microsoft, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Marriott and many of the leading research universities. We serve a wide range of sectors, from automotive and hospitality to urban planning and academic research.
