MODEL 8900 SERIES GEONET WIRELESS DATA HOSTING SYSTEM | INTRODUCTION | 1
1. INTRODUCTION
GeoNet is a low-power wireless data hosting system, designed to efficiently
collect data from many points. GeoNet is especially helpful in geographically-
complex locations where a wired infrastructure would be expensive or even
impossible. Available network components include a cellular gateway/mesh
supervisor, mesh supervisor, single- and/or multi-channel node units,
addressable nodes, and Agent software.
Nodes collect data from
GEOKON
's vibrating wire (VW) gauges and sensors.
The Cellular G Mesh Supervisor contains a cellular module in addition
to the mesh supervisor functionality. The device stores battery and temperature
data sent from the nodes, and data from the sensors, but it does not possess
sensor-reading functionality on its own. Data can be retrieved using the
GEOKON
cloud, or manually using a cable.
The mesh supervisor unit is the same as the cellular gateway except it lacks a
cellular module. Data must be retrieved manually via a direct cable connection.
FEATURES:
■
Automated cellular data connection to servers
■
Automated calculation of engineering units via Web API integration with the
GEOKON
database
■
Up to 60 km (15 km x 4 hops) range, line-of-sight
■
Up to 12 networks per area (using unique channels)
■
USB connector for firmware updates, diagnostics, and more
GEOKON
recommends that you configure your network with the devices at the
same location, in close proximity to each other, before you deploy them to their
respective on-site positions.
An installation tutorial on the
GEOKON
website, https://www.geokon.com/
