Connect NCD IoT Long Range Wireless Sensors to Google Cloud IoT using the Google IoT Gateway. Google Cloud IoT is one of the world’s most popular IoT platforms, so connectivity of the NCD ecosystem of IoT wireless sensors remains a top priority for our engineering team.
The NCD Google IoT Gateway connects NCD Wireless Sensors directly to Google® Cloud IoT® with an average setup time of about 5 minutes. The NCD Google IoT Gateway listens for sensor data from NCD Wireless Sensors up to 2 miles away and converts the incoming data into JSON strings with real-world human-readable values. Use the Google IoT Gateway to quickly and easily measure temperature directly on the Google® IoT cloud. Send humidity data, current measurements for power consumption, light level data, counter data, and much more. The NCD Google IoT Gateway is compatible with the entire NCD Enterprise product line of wireless sensors. The Google IoT Gateway user interface supports up to 10 sensors while in configuration mode, displaying the signal strength and sensor data for each sensor during setup. In Run mode (daily use), the Google IoT Gateway will work with as many sensors as memory will allow (estimated to be greater than 20, but we did not set a hard limit). The Google IoT Gateway may also be used for configuration of basic settings of remote sensors. Learn more about Google® Cloud IoT Core® here.
During purchase, you will see three frequency options. Not all options are legal for use in all areas, so it’s important to make the right selection during purchase. We will build your product and accessories based on the options chosen. Here, we will explain these options in much greater detail, but please check your local laws BEFORE purchase.
If you are located in North America, the 900MHz Option will provide the longest range currently supported with the best penetration through walls, buildings, industrial equipment, and trees. This option is also the best choice for long range applications. The official Line of Sight rating for this option is 2 Miles with included antennas or 28 Miles with high-gain antennas. We suggest contacting Digi.com for a high-gain antenna recommendation if required. Please check your local laws before choosing this option.
If you are located in Europe, the 868MHz Option is the longest range choice available at this time. This option offers better penetration through walls, buildings, trees, and industrial equipment than 2.4GHz. The official line of site rating for this option is 14.5km using 2.1dBi antennas. Please check your local laws before choosing this option.
The 2.4GHz option should be chosen if 900MHz and 868MHz are not legal for use in your country. This option is now certified for use worldwide, including Europe, United States, Japan, Australia, Brazil, and South Korea. Please check your local laws before choosing this option just in case 2.4GHz is not legal in your area.
If you are unsure of which sensor option to choose, please contact us. We may be able to help determine which sensors are legal for use in your area.
The Google IoT Gateway includes a embedded web page configuration screen that makes setup easy, simply register the gateway with your WiFi router by selecting the network name and entering your password, enter the region your project is configured for, the name of the Google Cloud IoT Registry, and upload the credentials JSON file for your Service account:
All IoT Device Manufacturers should commit to IoT Security and Transparency. As a consumer, you have the right to a IoT Security and Transparency Statement BEFORE purchase, and we encourage all customers to demand this information from all IoT Manufacturers and Vendors. In an effort to be fully transparent with our customers, we will always disclose the most important security related information at the bottom of each product page for all IoT Devices. Under no circumstances does NCD use IoT devices to collect customer data, sensor readings, or other information without full disclosure. As a matter of NCD IoT Security Policy, any IoT device that collects any form of data must be disclosed in the IoT Security and Transparency Statement. In the statements below, we will use the term “Wireless” to indicate localized communications between the Sensors and the Gateway. We will use the term “WiFi” to indicate communications between the Gateway and the Internet. Relevant Security Information pertaining to this particular device is Indicated Below:
