ADDISON, Ill., Feb. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Dickson Company announces the introduction today of Cobalt XS Wi-Fi, designed to simplify environmental monitoring in critical environments. Compact and intuitive, this launch expands the market leading Cobalt X/XS product line, delivering the power of Wi-Fi in an easy-to-use format with universal connectivity.

With the new Cobalt XS Wi-Fi, advanced temperature, humidity and other physical parameter monitoring is easy to deploy across facilities: all you need is a Wi-Fi connection. Cobalt XS Wi-Fi is fully GxP compliant and offers full access to the comprehensive benefits of the OCEAView software platform.

Cobalt XS Wi-Fi supports Dickson’s Smart Sensor technology, which facilitates calibration tasks by storing all information directly in the sensor. This enables both consistent accuracy and quick sensor replacement with uninterrupted monitoring.

With this new architecture, Cobalt XS Wi-Fi ensures accuracy, traceability, and data security while helping to reduce costs and streamline monitoring across highly regulated industries and other temperature-sensitive environments.

“Adding Wi-Fi connectivity to our flagship Cobalt portfolio reflects our continued commitment to meeting a range of connectivity options for our leading Cobalt product line,” said Rick Weiler, President and CEO of The Dickson Company. “Customers can now add data loggers where Wi-Fi is already available to complement our LoRa data logger applications.”

Effortless Wi-Fi Connectivity
