INTRODUCTION

GeoNet is a low-power wireless data hosting system, designed to efficiently
collect data from many points. GeoNet is especially helpful in geographically-
complex locations where a wired infrastructure would be expensive or even
impossible. Available network components include a Cellular Gateway, Local
Gateway, single- and/or multiple-channel Mesh Vibrating Wire (VW) Loggers,
Mesh Addressable Loggers, a Mesh Tilt Logger, and Agent software.
Model 8900 Series loggers collect data from
The Mesh Tilt Logger contains an integrated
functions in the same manner as other loggers.
The Cellular Gateway contains a cellular module enabling it to send sensor data
to the cloud. The device stores battery and temperature data sent from
GEOKON
the loggers, and data from the sensors, but it does not possess sensor-reading
functionality on its own. Data can be retrieved using the
manually using a cable.
The Local Gateway is the same as the Cellular Gateway except it lacks a cellular
module. Data must be retrieved manually via a direct cable connection.
FEATURES:
■
Automated cellular data connection to servers
■
Automated calculation of engineering units via Web API integration with the
database
GEOKON
■
Improved radio range
Up to 60 km (15 km x 4 hops) range, line-of-sight (North America)
Up to 22 km (5.5 km x 4 hops) range, line-of-sight (Europe)
■
Up to 12 networks per area (using unique channels)
■
USB connector for firmware updates, diagnostics, and more
recommends that you configure your network with the devices at the
GEOKON
same location, in close proximity to each other, before you deploy them to their
respective on-site positions.
An installation tutorial on the
tutorial-videos, can help with this.
CAUTION! To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation distance
of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device
operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna
used for this transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
