Long Range Wireless Sensors
Our long range wireless enterprise series sensors are an easy to use and reliable start to any data aggregation application. This video will demonstrate how they work, what they do, and how to use them.
Industrial IoT Wireless RS232 Bridge
Connect to existing RS-232 hardware and software using the same technology that drives our Enterprise Series Long Range sensors. With a range of 2 miles line of sight and an automatically forming wireless repeater/mesh network, this bridge makes it easy to integrate old technology into today’s data driven world in a single unified method.
Simply connect this RS-232 Bridge to the device you want to communicate with and start sending and receiving data using Node-Red.
What Frequency Do I Need?
Range and Frequency of NCD Wireless Sensors
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.
900MHz for North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico)
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.
900MHz Wireless Sensor Range
The official Line of Sight rating for this option is 2 Miles with included antennas or 28 Miles with high-gain antennas. These distances are characterized for direct line of sight applications with no obstructions. Real-world range will vary greatly depending on surrounding buildings, trees, and other objects that may cause reflections or interfere with the transmission. 900MHz has excellent RF penetration characteristics, and we have successfully completed installations in excess of of a half mile on a automotive factory floor with active robots in between. We have also seen excellent penetration in mild radioactive installations making this a possible candidate for use in nuclear energy applications.
We suggest contacting Digi.com for a high-gain antenna recommendation if required. Please check your local laws before choosing this option.
868MHz for Europe Only
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.
2.4Ghz for Worldwide Use
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.
Not Sure?
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.
