sensorProbe+ Wireless Tunnel

Rapid deployment of your sensor network over large area

The sensorProbe+ Wireless Tunnel™ (SP-WT) is equipped with Semtech’s LoRa based radio technology, and utilizes the AKCP Wireless Tunnel™ communications protocol. Connect up to 4 wired sensors to a single radio. This makes for rapid deployment for a large number of sensors.

Connect up to 30 SP-WT devices to the sensorProbe+ Wireless Tunnel™ Server (SP-WTS), with 4 sensors on each that gives 120 sensors from only 30 radios. The SP-WT is powered by either 3x AAA batteries, or 5VDC USB input. Both can be used with the batteries as a failover power source. It is recommended where possible to power the SP-WT via external power supply. An optional external battery pack (SP-WT-EXTBAT) is also available for increased life of up to 10 years.
