Fast installation

Outdoors materials provided

Waspmote Plug & Sense! counts with holders specially designed for outdoor installations in street-lights and building fronts.

Metal cable ties are provided to easily adjust the node to street light posts.

Installation can be done in minutes as you only need to tie the cables on the enclosure holders and then to the post. Once the node is secured just press the on button and the node will start automatically to send the data gathered from the sensors to the Gateway.

Solar powered

External Solar Panel

The battery can be recharged using the external solar panel option (common USB-recharging is of course another option).

The external solar panel is mounted on a 45º holder which ensures the maximum performance of each outdoor installation.

The rechargeable battery has a capacity of 6600 mA·h, which ensures non-stop operation during the weeks when sunlight is low.

Multiple radio options

High sensitivity and transmission power

There are multiple radio options in order to communicate the sensor nodes with the Gateway. 802.15.4, ZigBee 3, 868 and 900 are commonly used to create local, start topologies. WiFi can be used to connect with any WiFi Access Point, while the 4G radio can be used to send the sensor data directly to the Cloud without using an intermediate Gateway. Sigfox and LoRaWAN modules are designed for IoT applications and get very long range links.

Complete list of available radios:

15.4 (2.4 GHz), 2 versions: Europe and world
ZigBee 3 (2.4 GHz)
RF (868 MHz)
RF (900 MHz), 2 versions: US and Brazil
