General description of the HIKOB AZURE LION
2.1
HIKOB wireless sensor network acquisition system
The HIKOB AZURE LION is one of the elements that constitutes the HIKOB wireless sensor
radio network. This system is a set of wireless sensors doing multi-point distributed measures
in various domains.These sensors radiotransmit their acquired data to the HIKOB GATEWAY,
possibly via HIKOB AZURE LION routers, depending on environment constraints for radio
transmission. This local radio network operates in the 2.4GHz ISM bandwidth and implements
the standardized IEEE 802.15.4e protocol. The HIKOB GATEWAY provides the user with
these acquisitions through its embedded software: HIKOB NET PULSE, which makes the
interface to any TCP/IP network.
HIKOB systems cover data acquisitions such as vehicle detection for controlled traffic or
parking management, various measurements in civil engineering structures from stress gauges
to crack/inclino-meters, and vibrations from industrial machines for diagnotic purpose, provid-
ing tools for predictive maintenance for example.

HIKOB AZURE LION overview
Figure 1: External view of HIKOB AZURE LION
HIKOB AZURE LION is a wireless and energy autonomous router for the HIKOB radio net-
work operating in the 2.4GHz ISM bandwidth. It levers the radio covergage both in terms of
range and signal quality. It relays bi-directionnal information: from any HIKOB sensor to the
HIKOB GATEWAY and vice versa.
Its antenna is embedded in the casing, as well as its solar pannel providing the source for
