MODBUS GATEWAY-IN-A-STICK™
Integrated Gateway and High-Gain Antenna
This rugged, integrated device combines a high-gain antenna with gateway electronics in a single, easily mounted package.
Gateway-in-a-Stick combats a common problem with RF networks, which are increasingly used to monitor and control remote devices over tens or hundreds of square miles. Gateways traditionally have different location requirements for their electronics module and antenna, making it necessary to place them separately. Gateway-in-a-Stick is a revolutionary solution that combines them in one easy-to-install component.
Features and Benefits of Gateway-in-a-Stick
Unique design integrates high-gain, omni-directional antenna and gateway electronics in one place
Stores the most recent readings of all nodes in the network in Modbus format
Times out readings from off-line sensors
Time-stamps data
Manages outbound communications
Reduces power consumption
Mounts with clamps, brackets, or standard electrical/plumbing fittings
5,000+ meter range
Automatically configures as a star or mesh network
The SignalFire Remote Sensing System™ is a flexible adaptive radio networking system that seamlessly integrates analog and digital sensors. With a range of up to 5,000 meters, the system is self installing and self configuring. All the installer has to do is set the network address using a rotary switch, and it's ready to go. This system compares very favorably, from a cost perspective, with installed conduit at distances of 100 feet or more.
