In industrial applications, there can be no compromise for truly robust, secure 
communication that ensures system operational integrity. That’s why Banner built its 
own RF model based on essential sensing requirements with bidirectional Rx/Tx 
communication capabilities.

True wireless operation means integrated power not only for communications, but 
also for operating the attached sensor. Banner developed an innovative 

Flex

Power™ 

solution that offers years of continuous operation. Innovation in wireless power 
management combines ideally with Banner’s ability to design advanced sensors that 
consume less power. SureCross also accommodates DC line, battery or solar power for 
complete application flexibility.

SureCross represents a quantum leap in wireless capabilities with deterministic 
response—a system that lets you define actions and system responses to 
communication interruptions or failures. Each SureCross device features a bidirectional 
transceiver to fully acknowledge data transmission. The Gateway directs Nodes in the 
network to respond with specific actions to a communication failure by driving user-
defined outputs to a default condition. Once the RF link is re-established, the network 
automatically returns to normal operation.

SureCross uses a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) transmission 
method to minimize radio interference, ensuring that the message gets 
through and providing integral security. Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) 
slots provide guaranteed bandwidth to each connected Node. Polling and Site 
Survey capabilities ensure communication integrity. SureCross offers both 900 MHz 
and 2.4 GHz models, allowing you to deploy advanced wireless capabilities 
anywhere in the world. 

Gateways and Nodes are rugged, completely integrated and packaged solutions designed 
for mounting flexibility, extreme durability and plug-and-play installation. Wiring terminals 
are readily accessible without removal from mounting. The compact housings come 
equipped with quick-disconnect connectors for power and communication, four cable 
glands and  a large threaded

Configure your SureCross wireless network with Gateway and Node components set to 
your specifications. Or choose SureCross Kits that are configured for a number of common 
applications. Either way, Banner can help you select the exact components, tailor your 
solution, or help you choose a kit that delivers the performance you need. Banner 
Application Engineers are available to provide SureCross configurations that integrate 
seamlessly into your legacy systems and solve your most demanding applications.

SureCross

. Purpose-built by Banner.

While wireless monitoring is far from new, Industry has had to wait patiently for robust 

bidirectional network devices that offer a feature set designed specifically to meet the demands of 
manufacturing, processing and challenging commercial applications.

The wait is over.

Banner designed and built the SureCross network using over 40 years of application expertise and 

sensor innovation. Unlike other wireless devices, Banner started with the high-performance needs of 
Industry and developed a system that meets those needs. The result is a superior network with exclusive 
features, engineered and built by the sensor experts trusted worldwide.
