Business Advantages of Mesh Radio

Economic and operational advantages vs. wired sensors

• Up to 90% lower installed costs

– Lower cost of required equipment and supplies

– Much quicker installation = less on-site time and less process disruption

• Monitor and control in:

– harsh environments (lots of metal and interference)

– “wire unfriendly” situations where wires are difficult or undesirable

• Monitors movable or rotating equipment

• Easy optimisation of sensor position in process for a better result

• Low cost and speedy retrofit to existing equipment and processes

• Cost-effective diagnostics in uncertain or temporary situations

• Multiple sensor types with standard wireless nodes on a single network

• Remote, ‘PC-less’, monitoring from anywhere on the internet


Wireless Network Types

Direct Connection– Wire replacement– Point to point, highly specific– Engineered to suit application

Star– One central routing and control point– Single-hop - point to multi-point– All data flows through central point

Mesh– Multiple data paths– Multi-hop– Can operate as star or hybrid star/mesh– Self configuring, self healing– Highly flexible, highly reliable

Older, less flexible, less reliable technologies

Newer, more flexible, more reliable technology


Operational Advantages of Mesh

• Multiple Pathways– Stronger connectivity – Self-Healing, Self-Managing

• Transmit Around Equipment– More robust– More flexible

• Extend Network Range– More robust– More capable

Solution Architecture – Netbiter remote monitoring

Typical Sensors and I/O devicesBattery and/or line poweredTemperature sensorTemperature and humidityOccupancy, door contactLightPulse countingDry contact inputsUp to 32 inputs per radio: contact, NTC, 0-5V, 0-20mARelay and analogue outputsMulti-stage thermostat controllerModbus RTU bridge

Wireless mesh Gateway

Netbiter is Modbus TCP proxy

Wireless range to cover large sites, highly reliable digital mesh radio, not affected by interference. Scales from 1 to 100’s of points. Netbiter transfers data off-site to Netbiter Argos remote monitoring portal. Web API available to integrate data to other applications

Remote off-site monitoring using Netbiter Argos


Although we specialise in mesh radio we also use

GSM/GPRS and Narrowband radio systems

when needed to meet customer requirements
