#Pulsa sensors install
In the rest of the world, if there is network coverage at an install point, the Pulsa gateway will likely be able to connect. In North America, the Pulsa gateway can use Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Rogers, Indigo, Limitless, Bell, NE Colorado and Movistar networks. As a standard feature, once the Pulsa gateway is powered on, it will search for all available cellular networks, test signal strengths and connect to the best network. You do not have to choose a cellular network before you deploy the Pulsa gateway. Rarely is the cellular network the cause of performance degradation. The following conditions can significantly reduce sensor reception performance: thick masonry walls, metal walls (light gauge steel building walls are generally ok), sensor and gateway on direct opposite sides of bulk tank. Barriers between the gateway and sensor/s will reduce performance. With line of sight, the distance from a Pulsa gateway to a Pulsa sensor can be up to 350ft. 2.4Ghz is the same frequency as WiFi, so you can expect sensor performance that is similar to a WiFi router in terms of distance from router and quality of data transfer. Sensor to gateway communication accounts for 99% of performance issues. The Pulsa gateway communicates via two wireless protocols: 1) 2.4 Ghz from sensor to gateway, 2) Cellular network from gateway to Pulsa. Gateway installation location is the most common cause of performance issues.įor best performance, install the gateway as close to the sensor/s as possible and with line of sight if possible.
