RSTAR Affinity Gateway
The RSTAR Affinity Gateway is easy to set up and connect to RSTAR Affinity Data Loggers for seamless communication in a wide range of geotechnical applications.
Overview
Overview
The RSTAR Affinity Gateway receives telemetry data from RSTAR Affinity Data Loggers through LoRa radio or legacy RSTAR Data Loggers, then forwards the data to the RSTAR Affinity cloud server via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, LTE, or local LoRa radio.
The RSTAR Affinity Gateway enables secure wireless communication between data loggers and the RSTAR Affinity browser-based Dashboard and Field Utility mobile application so sensor data can be transmitted and analyzed.
Product features
- Bi-directional connectivity between field devices and the RSTAR Affinity browser-based UI dashboard and mobile application.
- Flexible connectivity including Ethernet, cellular, and Wi-Fi.
- A pole mount is included with the gateway enclosure. An optional wall mount is also available.
- RSTAR Affinity is OpenAPI 3.0 compliant.
