Sensing-as-a-Service makes air quality measurement a breeze

Dr. Stig Hellebust

Lecturer in Physical Chemistry, University College Cork

We work mainly with the local authorities for deploying the Node-S devices — with the local council. The community has been really helpful and has made a big difference. The majority of the Nodes are up on street lamps around the town.

Eddie Ahn

Executive Director, Brightline Defense

"Clarity’s team helped facilitate our understanding of the air quality space as a whole. We are now checking in with the Clarity team about once a month to touch base about the network and learn how to use the Clarity Dashboard. Having all of our data available in a secure web portal is very useful, especially as we prepare data reports. Brightline wants to make sure we can take all these data streams and analyze them to highlight important air quality issues that the community should know about."

Matt Holmes

Air Quality Consultant and former Executive Director, Groundwork Richmond

"We couldn’t have done it with any other air quality monitoring solution. With their unique ability to operate off-grid, Clarity’s Node-S provided the ability to site our air quality monitors in the locations that mattered most to community members in Richmond. The data are reliable, real-time, and hyperlocal, and our network is now being used as a blueprint for AB 617, a landmark regulation that empowers communities to take control of air pollution."

Michael Ogletree

Air Quality Technical Services Program Manager at the DDPHE

"Clarity provided an off-the-shelf solution that was easy to deploy. Clarity Nodes are easy to set up and after reviewing a co-location we had in place, the data was in line with our expectations. The flexibility in changing the data capture rate was key — I was able to remotely configure the nodes to collect data at a higher or lower resolution as needed."

Richard Stedman

Air Pollution Control Officer at the Monterey Bay Air Resources District

"We don’t have a lot of staff time to spend setting up or fine-tuning this equipment — Clarity’s managed service model allows us to multiply the number of sensors in our network with minimal additional overhead on our end. We're going from six particulate matter monitors to more than 20 — with one placed in each local municipality — so we expect to have more granularity in looking at how smoke impacts people across our three-county jurisdiction."

Frequently Asked Questions

What pollutants does Clarity’s air quality monitoring solution measure?

Clarity’s modular system can monitor a wide range of pollutants, including PM2.5, PM10, nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), and black carbon — key indicators of urban air pollution from traffic, industry, and wildfires. Our platform also supports wind and meteorological data to better understand pollution movement and source attribution.

How easy is it to install and maintain Clarity’s air quality monitoring sensors?

Clarity sensors are designed for rapid, low-effort deployment. They arrive pre-configured and can be installed in under 10 minutes using basic tools. Solar power and cellular connectivity eliminate the need for grid power or Wi-Fi, and the system requires minimal ongoing maintenance thanks to its rugged, weatherproof design.

Can I access real-time air quality data remotely?

Yes — Clarity sensors automatically transmit data to the cloud via cellular networks, making it accessible anywhere through the Clarity Dashboard. Users can view live maps, configure alerts, download reports, and even share public data with stakeholders or communities through tools like OpenMap.

Does Clarity offer support if I need help interpreting my air quality data?

Absolutely. Clarity offers optional Add-On Services like Data Analysis reports, as well as ongoing customer success support. Our team can help you make sense of trends, compare your data to regulatory standards, and generate actionable insights for planning, policy, or public communication.

Is Clarity’s solution suitable for indoor air quality monitoring as well?

While Clarity is optimized for outdoor air quality monitoring, our customers have occasionally used sensors in semi-enclosed or transitional spaces like parking garages, warehouses, and industrial facilities. However, for strictly indoor applications, we generally recommend dedicated indoor sensors designed for controlled environments.

How does Clarity’s solution supplement existing regulatory monitoring networks and integrate with existing environmental monitoring systems?

Clarity’s air quality monitoring network fills critical gaps in traditional regulatory systems, which are often sparse due to cost. While reference monitors provide high-accuracy data at a few fixed locations, Clarity sensors can be deployed at scale, offering hyperlocal insight at street level—near schools, traffic corridors, or underserved communities.

The calibrated data from Clarity Node-S air quality sensors integrates seamlessly with regulatory data, enhancing resolution and enabling real-time alerts for pollution events like wildfires or industrial spikes. Clarity also supports OpenMap, which can combine official and supplemental sensor data into a single public or agency-facing view.

Cities like London have adopted this hybrid model—pairing a few reference stations with many low-cost Clarity nodes to build a more responsive, community-scale air monitoring network.In short, regulatory monitors establish the baseline; Clarity provides the resolution and reach needed for targeted public health action.
