Similar to LoRaWAN, the Wireless Tunnel™ supports large numbers of sensors communicating over a wide area network to a central server through numerous gateways.
The Wireless Tunnel™ supports both wide area and local, private networks. Private networks provide local data storage and non internet operation. Unlike LoRaWAN and other IoT cloud solutions, it removes the reliance on an internet connection or a central server. AKCP Wireless Tunnel Gateway (WTG) are dual-purpose communications and application servers. This enables local notification, control and reporting. The Wireless Tunnel is suitable for large private networks in factories or data centers. It is also suitable for a mixed installation of wired and wireless sensors. Certain installations require that all data be maintained and stored locally. Some installations are without internet access. The Wireless Tunnel™ works well in any of these applications.
The Wireless Tunnel is perfect for this type of installation. AKCP can tune the network for specific use cases and end-user requirements. For example higher than normal data rates, data logging including spooling and retries, fast bidirectional control.
The Wireless Tunnel™ System is made up of several components:-
- Wireless Tunnel Sensors (WTS)
- Wireless Tunnel Gateway (WTG)
- Wireless Tunnel Cloud (WTC)
Gateways collect data from sensors that are within range. In a single gateway setup the device will manage notifications and graph data. When multiple gateways are deployed they can also act as a pass-through, collecting data and sending it onto the Wireless Tunnel Cloud.
The WTC can be self hosted on a server in your network or cloud-based. Running AKCPro Server it manages the data collecting and alerts for multiple WTG. AKCPro Server comes in several flavors with a user interface and features tailored for your industry.
