We analyzed them all: Zigbee, Z-Wave, Sigfox,
Bluetooth, BLE, NFC, 2G, 3G, 4G, 802.15.4,
Wi-Fi, Wireless HART, BlueRobin, ANT etc
Each of them had a MAJOR drawback in at
least one of the ‘must-have’ categories.

Light Sensor (detect tampering/opening of boxes)
G-Sensor
Location Detection Option 1: Scan upon arrival
(barcode/QR Code)
 Location Detection Option 2: network presence in
both departure and arrival destination. Create our
network presence by placing our AP in any
location.

Smart Metering
Partner sensor maker
retrofits current water
meters.
Access point creates the sensor
network and relays data from the
sensors to the cloud.
Dashboard provides
viewers with alerts, usage,
and analysis.
City: Smart Parking
Sensors fitted to each
parking space that detect
light, motion, or weight.
Access point creates the
sensor network and relays
data from the sensors to
the cloud.

Dashboard provides viewers
with current parking lot
status. Provides lot owners
with statistics, analysis, and
suggestions.
Wireless Access Point
Access Point is the device managing the two way data transmission
between the backend management system and the End Devices (either
directly or through Routers). One single Access Point supports up to 15,000
nodes by working with associated Routers.
 WSN and TCP/IP Gateway
 WSN Service Handler & Dispatcher
 Sub-GHz wireless network
 Intelligent resource scheduling
 Support static IP / DHCP Client / DDNS / Telnet
 LAN Interface
 10 / 100 BaseT auto MDIX
 External Sub-GHz Antenna
