Wireless system for radiometric measurements contains probes, for gamma radiation measurements and other probes for radon concentration measurements in air and water. The probes have the form of droplet-tight cylinders powered from a local battery. Measuring data collecting unit, based on a portable computer, communicates directly with the probes in a wireless manner using the WiFi communication network, or through the internet using mobile phone GSM network. Serial port wire connection is also possible. The local battery ensures at least 14 days of continuous operation of the probes. For long term measurements, the probes can also be powered from solar panels. Construction and operation of the probes are described. Results of scintillation probes investigation are given. Detection efficiency of the developed probes is comparable with the laboratory probes offered in our country.
