Proprietary Wireless Technology
With Maximum Range
Ceres® long range sensors and controls use proprietary wireless technology to achieve maximum range. Conventional technologies such as WiFi and Bluetooth can’t provide the range and battery life of Ceres transceivers.
- FCC Certified
- Narrow-band FSK transmission
- Sub-GHz frequency band (910-920MHz in North America)
- Advanced filtering to block cellular interference
- Secure communications using advanced public key cryptography.
Ceres Wi-Fi gateway is the connection between long-range proprietary wireless communications and your 802.11 b/g/n (Wi-Fi) network. The Ceres gateway is small, inexpensive, and easy to deploy with push-button connection to your existing access point (router) or wi-fi hotspot. Each Ceres gateway supports up to 100 Ceres long-range wireless sensors and controls.
How it Works
During internet outages, the gateway can receive and store tens of thousands of reports and forward them when internet access is restored. In areas with frequent power outages, we recommend the Anker PowerCore Fusion 5000 to provide both power and extended battery backup.
Because the gateway consumes very little power and operates over the full outdoor temperature range, it can also be deployed outdoors using solar power and cellular networking; see your Ceres® dealer for details on Ceres outdoor solutions.
