Sensor-to-cloud platform for industrial process monitoring

22 November 2019

SignalFire Wireless Telemetry has expanded its wireless IoT product range with the RANGER, a cellular-based transmitter and new 4G LTE-M platform. This remote monitoring solution offers sensor-to-cloud with a plug-and-play experience.

The RANGER is a cellular transmitter that utilises LTE CAT M1 technology to connect industrial sensors to the cloud for remote monitoring, control and alarming. By connecting directly to the cloud, the RANGER bypasses local networks to offer a more secure connection without adding more work for IT departments. It is designed to work with a wide range of sensor types and brands, making it easily integrated into industrial monitoring systems.

The Ranger is equipped with two digital inputs, one analogue input and one relay output. The digital inputs can detect on/off status or frequencies up to 2kHz. The analogue input can be set to 1-5Vdc or 4-20mA and is powered by the integrated battery pack.

The RANGER comes complete with a web- and mobile-friendly SignalFire Cloud interface, which allows users to remotely monitor assets, view trends, and receive alarms either by text or email.
