Network Connection
The ORB can communicate with the Senquip Portal or a remote server via Wi-Fi or GSM. Where both
Wi-Fi and GSM networks are selected, the ORB will first attempt to connect via Wi-Fi and if that is unsuc-
cessful, the ORB will then attempt to connect via GSM. In the event that neither Wi-Fi or GSM networks
can be found, the ORB can be set to log data to internal memory and then upload it when a network
becomes available (see endoint settings).
7.1 Wi-Fi Specification
Wi-Fi on the ORB is used to transmit data, to allow settings to be remotely updated, to allow in-field soft-
ware updates and also to enable setup via an integrated web-server that can be accessed in setup mode
via a mobile phone or other Wi-Fi device.
The ORB Wi-Fi implementation supports Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. The Wi-Fi antenna is integrated into the
ORB. In typical applications, the range achievable with Wi-Fi is 500m.
7.2 GSM Specification
GSM on the ORB is used to transmit data, to allow settings to be remotely updated and to allow in-field
software updates.
The ORB GSM implementation is designed for global use and supports LTE Cat-M1 and NB-IoT in the
following bands:
• Cat-M1/ NB-IoT: LTE FDD: B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B8/B12/B13/B18/ B19/B20/B26/B28
• LTE TDD: B39 (For Cat-M1 Only)
• EGPRS: 850/900/1800/1900MHz
The GSM antenna is integrated into the ORB.
7.3 Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network
Once in setup mode, use the Network page to connect the ORB to a Wi-Fi network.
On the Network page, press the Scan for Wi-Fi Networks button. After a few seconds, a list of SSIDs for
visible Wi-Fi networks will be shown. Select the Wi-Fi network to which you would like to connect by
