Basestations

MicroStrain® wireless sensor networks (WSN) enable simultaneous, high-speed sensing and data acquisition from multiple wireless strain gauges, accelerometers, temperature, and millivolt inputs.

WSDA® wireless gateways coordinate and schedule communication between remote wireless sensor nodes and other user-selectable end systems, including third-party controllers, stand-alone dataloggers, local computers and networks, and SensorCloud-enabled remote monitoring and alerting systems.

WSDA-2000 Wireless Gateways

The WSDA®-2000 is a network-ready gateway for reliable data acquisition from MicroStrain by HBK wireless and inertial sensors. The WSDA-2000 features Ethernet, USB 2.0, and J1939 CAN interfaces, as well as 8GB of on-board memory for datalogging.

Ethernet connectivity means access to your wireless sensor network from anywhere in the world. This gateway automatically pushes data to SensorCloud, where data is securely stored, viewed, and may have analytics operations or alerts set up. The WSDA-2000 also allows a remote connection so the owner can control their sensor network as if they are on-site.

WSDA-200-USB Gateway

The WSDA®-200-USB is a USB gateway for easy, reliable data acquisition from Lord wireless sensors. The gateway provides seamless communication between the wireless sensor nodes and the host computer using SensorConnect software or the MSCL API. The software and gateway allow users to easily configure wireless nodes and deploy them into a synchronised and scalable network.

Lord wireless sensor networks are fast to deploy and provide reliable, lossless data throughput. These networks are proven to work in demanding industries where reliable data acquisition is critical.
