Applications:
- Environments with expansive open spaces of more than 1,200 feet (400 meters) and fewer obstructions, such as greenhouses, petrochemical plants, agriculture, etc.
- Buildings with extensive concrete, rebar, and square footage, such as high rises, skyscrapers, sports and concert arenas, stadiums, schools, hospitals, churches, etc.
- Warehouses with many obstructions, shipping containers, and tractor-trailer yards
The ALTA Site Survey Tool helps you plan the placement of ALTA Wireless Sensors by measuring the strength and quality of the radio frequency (RF) signal from an ALTA Gateway or ALTA XL Gateway. With the Site Survey Tool, you can assess every square foot of your facility or site for the ideal locations to install your sensors. After a quick signal test, the tools LCD reports the average TRUESIGNAL and Pass, Poor, or Fail based on your preferred signal reliability setting. The TRUESIGNAL is calculated from the wireless signal strength and the amount of wireless interference measured at the test location. This data will help you optimize data communications throughout your Internet of Things (IoT) network.
The iMonnit dashboards will also present the data points related to your testing. You can configure the tools customizable test settings and review an advanced reading log online at iMonnit.com. Choose your signal reliability settings Mission-Critical, Strong, or Functional according to your environment, use case, and how frequently and reliably your sensors need to send data.
