IoT FAQ
Frage?
- The Real-Time and Internet of Things lines meet two different needs of the sector.
- The Real-Time line is more suitable for managing up to a hundred of wireless cells. The system needs a local PC connected to a Gateway. Data are updated every second.
- The IoT line is suitable for managing large networks with thousands of nodes that connect to the Cloud through one or more Gateways.
- Data are updated approximately every 3 minutes. All information can be accessed by multiple devices connected to the Internet.

- On the Internet of Things (IoT) Line, nodes (load cells or other sensors) are connected to the Cloud via one or more Gateways.
- Our Gateways are equipped with both an Ethernet LAN port and a SIM card slot. To ensure stability of the data flow in all areas, we strongly recommend the use of LAN for the Internet connection.
- The data of each sensor can be accessed by any device with an Internet connection thanks to the Cloud platform. The updating of data from the cells occurs approximately every 3 minutes.
- For the management of Cloud services and data storage, annual fees are required for each single device connected.
A typical use case is the monitoring of hundreds of nodes (or even thousands) in exhibition halls, whose data can be accessed by multiple users.
- The platform is designed with branched authorizations.
- The administrator of the local platform will be authorized to grant entry profiles depending on the status of the applicant.
Our cells use omnidirectional antennas; hence the range value has to be interpreted as the radius of a circular area around the device.
The maximum range of any wireless system changes according to the propagation conditions: line of sight or presence of obstacles between the nodes and the Gateway.
LoRaWAN® specifications state ranges up to 5km between a node and the Gateway in line of sight. However, these distances are influenced by the surrounding environment, the type of antennas and the material with which the sensor is built.
In Dynacell models the range may be shorter since the antenna is located inside the metal cell body. From the tests carried out with our cells inside buildings with many obstacles, an optimal coverage of about 500m around the Gateway is guaranteed.
