sensorIQ Products
Complete, Custom, and End-to-End
sensorIQ is committed to providing state-of-the-art technology at the lowest possible price. We do that by following and exceeding "Moore's Law," innovating lower-cost versions of commodity hardware products where competition has not already driven down prices. We're also happy to choose available technology when prices are highly competitive. We can do all this because we believe in open standards and are hardware agnostic, so we select exactly - and only - the components needed to complement your existing equipment. By combining the best available technology with our own, sensorIQ is able to deliver complete solutions at highly competitive prices.
Hardware: Collecting Data
SIQ Sensor Motes
Sensor "motes" (remote sensors) are typically line-powered with an extended battery back-up. When powered on, they automatically form a self-healing mesh network with other sensor motes. Sensor motes can also support various sensor inputs and outputs.
SIQ Sensor Motes features:
- Integrated processor and wireless on one board
- Remote command and control
- Remote FW upgrade
- Eight I/Os
- Field-replaceable and upgradeable
SIQ Mesh Controller
Because of its cost savings over wired solutions, sensorIQ typically uses end-to-end wireless technologies. A wireless master control module communicates through a GPRS cellular connection to a Network Operations Center (NOC) and wireless sensors motes that are wired to sensors/actuators creating a wireless mesh-network.
SIQ Mesh Controller Unit
The SIQ Mesh Controller unit is one of the most important aspects to any wireless mesh sensor networking system. Serving as the integration point between wireless mesh sensor networks and existing, enterprise automation applications, the SIQ Mesh Controller provides end-to-end connectivity.
SIQ Mesh Controller features:
- Communication via GPRS Network
- Remote command and control
- Remote FW upgrade
- Very few individual components
- Field-replaceable and upgradeable
SIQ Open Standard Network
sensorIQ firmly believes the future lies within open standards. We specify a 2.4GHz network that uses an IEEE 802.15.4 Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum radio and also applies dynamic frequency diversity to these radios. Frequency-hopping technology allows ultra-reliable communications between devices in the network.
Software: Making Sense of Data
Configuring the Network
The SIQ Mesh Controller is controlled by a hierarchical object-oriented model for performing wireless sensor network configurations. The networks consist of a collection of motes, all of which contain a number of I/Os that can have devices such as sensors and actuators directly wired to it.
Monitoring: Setting up alerts
To begin monitoring the network's state after sensors have been placed and the network is deployed, we help customize data analysis and reporting to meet each customer's needs. One way is by establishing alerts. Then the network can automatically monitor for critical alarms, and take the correct action. The network will then intuitively notify the correct person or persons immediately via email, pager, text message, etc.
Reporting: Finding intelligence behind the data
Information is power and sensorIQ is dedicated to delivering critical information to our customers in real-time. We do this by being flexible in how our customer's valuable data is delivered. We offer you Web-Based Applications for detailed benchmarking and analysis. We also provide custom Push Reporting technologies, allowing our customers to facilitate the flow of information through their organization via customized detailed reports. Reports can be automatically distributed to anyone in the enterprise on a daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly basic. When the right people have the right information, key goals and results are easy to achieve and measure.
