R9 Technology - Model G200 -Compact LTE Gateway
R9 Technology’s G200 is a compact LTE gateway targeted at low-cost data collection applications. The G200 gateway is used to gather sensor data from independent sensor nodes, and then relay that data to the internet. This device was designed to take advantage of the latest trends in wireless technology to achieve an easily deployed, low-power sensor network.
- Cellular LTE network operation is simple and reliable (as compared to WiFi)
- Data collection and reporting will continue through local power outages.
- Individual sensor devices (nodes) are not burdened with the cost and power demands of cellular radios
- The wireless sensor network (900 MHz and 2.4 GHz) are ultra low-power allowing for long-term battery operation
- The form factor for sensor devices (nodes) is reduced
R9’s products are deployed in a typical spoke and hub configuration. In this topology, the sensor nodes (SN400) communicate directly to the G200 gateway which in turn communicates to the cellular network.
The G200 gateway is available with either a 4G LTE CAT 1 radio or LTE CAT M1 radio for data services. A dual-carrier SIM is available which optimizes coverage, even in problematic fringe areas.
The G200 gateway connects to an online portal, which allows a user to configure their system and access chart data on any smart device with a web browser (PC, phone, tablet).
R9’s gateway device was designed with deployment flexibility in mind. You can configure the 2.4 GHz software-defined radio (SDR) for Bluetooth low-energy technology, ZigBee, or RF4CE. Perhaps your application needs some additional range? Use the Sub-1 GHz network interface for additional performance. The G200 allows customers to mix and match network interfaces depending on application needs.
The gateway provides all wireless antennas inside the product enclosure. Optionally, all antennas can be configured to connect externally if improved range is required.
Simultaneous dual band operation (2.4GHz or 915 MHz) can be implemented for the sensor node network to allow for maximum flexibility in sensor node selection and deployment.
