AKCP ZigBee Wireless Technology
The AKCP securityProbe series of Intelligent Base Units now support ZigBee wireless technology, allowing a new range of wireless sensors to be utilized for environmental and security monitoring in data centers and rack mounted equipment.
ZigBee is a high level communications protocol that is build from small-low power digital radios. Despite their low power ZigBee has a range of up to 100 meters and can pass through intermediate devices to connect with longer ones thus extending the range even further.
Designed for situations where a low data rate and a long battery life is required it makes them perfect for sensors where data only needs to be transmitted every few seconds. With a data speed of up to 250 kbit/s on the 2.4GHZ band and 20 kbits/s on 868 MHZ frequency, it can transmit short bursts of data such as temperature or other sensor status.
AKCP now offer a range of wireless ZigBee sensors for a varied range of applications including :-
• Smart cable meter
• DIN Rail Energy Meters
• Smart Energy Meter
• Temperature sensor

For over two decades at AKCP, I have been focused on a single mission: bringing complete visibility, security, and efficiency to the world’s critical infrastructure.
I believe that in the modern data center, AI is only as good as the data it receives. My goal is to ensure facilities have the precise sensor facts needed to control AI opinions, ultimately reducing PUE, releasing stranded capacity, and ensuring maximum uptime.
