The WN-102 and IGS-100 plug-and-play system provides a simple platform to build generic monitoring and control solutions based on the robust Newtrax low-power wireless Mesh/FHSS network technology. You can access the IGS-100 Internet gateway and server to monitor and control the WN-102 node from any computer terminal in the world with an Internet connection.

You can set the sensor-sampling rate and data storage location (on board, on gateway, or server). You can set the sensor thresholds to trigger open-collector digital outputs or to send alarm messages (to a list of e-mail addresses, for instance). You can also view logs and export data for remote analysis.

The WN-102 node offers one three-pin RS-232, four open-collector digital outputs, two dry-contact digital inputs, one 0- to 2-V or 4- to 60-V digital input, and one analog input (3 to 12 V). Also included are two thermistor inputs and two 4- to 20-mA current-sink inputs (optional). The enclosure is sealed with the antenna inside.

Network management tools such as ping, tracerout, network topology visualization, low battery alarm, RF link quality monitoring, and custom configuration of network parameters are also available through the IGS-100 console.

A beta prototype package is available that includes 10 of the wireless units, the gateway software, and full support for custom application developments for client evaluation and set up.

The kit costs $5,000. The IGS-100 gateway costs $500.
