Affinity+ Gateway overview

The Affinity+ Gateway is the central connectivity hub of your Affinity+ monitoring system, receiving telemetry from compatible data loggers and securely forwarding readings to the cloud for visualisation, analysis, and informed decision-making.

Designed for geotechnical and infrastructure monitoring, the gateway connects your field devices to the wider Orica Digital Solutions ecosystem. With flexible connectivity options, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, LTE cellular, and local LoRa radio, Affinity+ Gateway helps keep your monitoring network connected across a range of site conditions.

Integrated with GEOExplorerIQ™ software, the Affinity+ Gateway supports a connected sensor-to-insight workflow, helping you access monitoring data and manage your system through a unified platform. 

Explore the Affinity+ Gateway

The Affinity+ Gateway brings your monitoring network together by receiving data from Affinity+ Data Loggers over LoRaWAN and forwarding it to the cloud through your selected communication type. This helps connect remote field instrumentation with the software tools used to visualise data, monitor site conditions, and support timely decisions.

Whether you are monitoring a mine, a tunnel, or other critical infrastructure, Affinity+ Gateway helps bridge the gap between field data collection and actionable insight. As an essential part of the connected monitoring system, linking field data loggers with the cloud infrastructure makes monitoring data accessible beyond the site itself. By connecting wireless field devices with GEOExplorerIQ™, Affinity+ Gateway helps create a more integrated approach to managing monitoring networks, from data collection through to visualisation and interpretation.

How the Affinity+ Gateway works

The Affinity+ Gateway acts as the link between field-based data loggers and your cloud monitoring platform. It receives wireless transmissions from compatible loggers and forwards the data over an available network connection, allowing readings from remote monitoring locations to reach GEOExplorerIQ™.

Built to connect your monitoring network

Monitoring data is only useful when it can reach the systems and people who need it. Affinity+ Gateway helps bridge the gap between remote field instrumentation and the software environment where readings can be assessed and interpreted. 

GEOExplorerIQ™ integration

Affinity+ Gateway is more than a communication device; it is a key connection point to Orica Digital Solutions–Geosolutions monitoring ecosystem. Paired with Affinity+ Data Loggers and GEOExplorerIQ™, the gateway helps connect field instrumentation with the software used to manage hardware, visualise measurements, and understand changes across a site.

By forwarding data from the field to the cloud, Affinity+ Gateway supports a more connected monitoring workflow, helping geotechnical engineers move from collecting readings to accessing the information they need to assess site conditions. Combined, RST instruments' sensors, Affinity+ Data Loggers, Affinity+ Gateway, and GEOExplorerIQ™ form a connected sensor-to-insight solution for geotechnical and infrastructure monitoring.
