Overview of the operation and benefits of Lacroix Sofrel LogUp
Most remote monitoring solutions ask you to make a tradeoff: deploy something that's easy to install and manage, or deploy something that's actually secure. With aging infrastructure, dispersed assets, and growing regulatory pressure around cybersecurity, that's not a tradeoff a water utility should have to make.
The LACROIX SOFREL LogUp was built to eliminate it.

The SOFREL LogUp is a compact, ruggedized 4G data logger purpose-built for remote monitoring of water distribution networks, pressure zones, isolated pumping stations, and remote assets where wired connectivity isn't practical and manual data collection isn't acceptable.
It combines ultra-low-power 4G LPWAN cellular connectivity with patented screwless quick-access hardware design, a complete fleet management cloud platform, and a Bluetooth mobile app for field commissioning — all in a single solution that ships ready to deploy.
What sets it apart isn't any one feature. It's the fact that end-to-end cybersecurity isn't a bolt-on option — it's the foundation the entire platform is built on.


It's a complete remote monitoring solution that ships as a cohesive system:
The field hardware. Eco-designed, compact, IP68-enhanced watertight sealing, quick connect/disconnect connectors, and easy on-site access to the SIM card and battery. Rated –4°F to +158°F. 2 lb. Runs for years on its internal high-capacity lithium battery.
A Bluetooth-connected iOS/Android application your field teams use to commission, configure, and run diagnostics on any LogUp device without opening it or running cables. Configuration changes, firmware updates, and troubleshooting happen from a phone, standing next to the enclosure.
The centralized web-based management layer. LX CONNECT handles equipment fleet management, user access and rights management, automatic cybersecurity certificate renewals via Microsoft PKI, remote configuration and software updates across your entire deployed fleet, and data sharing with your existing SCADA or business applications via REST API.
Together, these three components give you a complete picture of your remote assets — without a server room, without a VPN, and without a specialist on-call every time something needs to change.
Water and wastewater utilities operating under AWIA 2018, EPA cybersecurity directives, and emerging state-level OT security requirements can't treat field monitoring hardware as an afterthought. Every device on your network is a potential attack surface.
The SOFREL LogUp is one of the few data loggers on the market actively pursuing IEC 62443 certification — the leading international standard for industrial cybersecurity. The hEN 18031-1 and hEN 18031-2 "RED-DA" certifications are already in place, and IEC 62443 compliance is in progress. End-to-end security covers the device, the communications channel, and the management platform — not just one layer.
For utilities that need to document their cybersecurity posture to regulators, auditors, or insurers, that matters.

Global coverage LPWAN cellular with internal and external antenna options. Nano SIM (4FF). Designed for locations where traditional cellular coverage may be limited.
Application packs cover digital counting inputs, dry contact inputs, analog inputs, and Modbus sensor connectivity. Available packs: 101, 202, 222, M101, M222. Modbus support handles up to 4 sensors. Remote upgrade of already-deployed units means your installed base isn't stranded when your monitoring needs expand.
Bluetooth uses a cybersecure connection for all commissioning, configuration, and diagnostic work. LX CONNECT handles automatic certificate renewals. IEC 62443 (in progress), hEN 18031-1, hEN 18031-2 "RED-DA" certified.
Remotely push configuration changes, firmware updates, and application pack upgrades to your entire deployed fleet from LX CONNECT. No truck rolls for software changes.
LX CONNECT includes one REST API data sharing connection to your SCADA, historian, or business application. Your monitoring data lives where your team already works.
Eco-designed hardware with low-power operation that extends battery life, reduces site visits, and lowers the total environmental cost of your remote monitoring program.
not a common commitment in the data logger market at this price point.
