Sensaphone Offers Ethernet-to-WiFi Adapter for Long-Range Monitoring

Aston, PA -- (SBWire) -- 07/12/2016 --Customers who depend on Sensaphone systems for remote temperature sensing and other remote environmental monitoring purposes have long used Ethernet connections for data communication. However, Sensaphone now offers an Ethernet-to-WiFi adapter that makes long-range, wireless Ethernet connections easier than ever and eliminates the need for wired connections.

While Sensaphone products with Ethernet connections provide accurate information and real-time datalogging about the conditions in which sensors are placed, the available Ethernet connection, in many cases, is not in the same location as the Sensaphone itself. This distance has, in the past, required Sensaphone customers to run wires from the Ethernet location to a remote location (in some cases up to 2000 feet), resulting in expensive installation fees and an unattractive installation.

With the Ethernet-to-WiFi adapter, an 802.11 wireless bridge and access point operating on 2.4 GHZ, users no longer have to worry about the cost and logistics of long-range wire installation when using a Sensaphone in remote or outdoor applications. As long as users have WiFi available at the installation site, they can plug the adapter (which comes with a power-over-Ethernet kit, including POE injector) into the Sensaphone's Ethernet connection; then, the device will communicate with the network via WiFi. This way, Sensaphone customers have greater flexibility when it comes to installing their system.

The WiFi adapter is outdoor-rated and weatherproof, making it suitable for rugged outdoor applications. It can be used with Sensaphone systems such as Sentinel, WEB600, IMS-1000, IMS-4000 and WSG30, which monitor conditions such as temperature, humidity, water flow and more, and log data in real time. The adapter requires external power, included upon purchase, and comes with a mast mount kit and binding strap.
