The ATOMSENSES - As 201 is an advanced IoT sensor designed specifically for monitoring and capturing varying types of environmental data. It works through a combination of technologies including IoT, edge computing, and machine learning, enabling it to handle complex data collection, analysis, and broadcasting tasks.
The sensor utilizes an array of miniaturized transducers, each tuned to measure a specific environmental factor. The transducers generate an electrical signal proportionate to the magnitude of the parameter being observed. This signal is then converted into digital data, compiled, and processed within the unit's advanced microprocessor before being transmitted via a LoRaWAN module to a defined endpoint such as a cloud server or an on-premise system.
The As 201 sensor is easy to install. Begin by positioning the sensor in the location where data capture is required. The sensor can be wall-mounted or placed on a flat surface. Connect the sensor to a power source. Configure the sensor to your specific environment using the provided configuration tool. Ensure the sensor's LoRaWAN module is correctly set up and is within range of a gateway for data transmission. Once the setup is complete, the sensor will automatically start taking readings and transmitting data.
LoRaWAN (Low-Power Wide-Area Network) is a media access control (MAC) protocol designed for large scale public networks with a single operator. It allows long-range communications of IoT devices, making it ideal for use with the As 201 sensor. The sensor supports LoRaWAN 1.0.2 protocol and operates within EU 868 MHz and US 915 MHz ISM Band. The LoRaWAN protocol ensures secure, bi-directional data transmission and efficient use of the available frequency band. Also, it offers adaptive data rate (ADR) functionality, which adapts the data sending rate based on the LoRa link quality.
ATOMSENSES - As 201 is designed for low-power operation, aiming to maximize its operational period on a single charge. It commonly operates at about 3.3V, and its standard mode consumes approximately 4.8 mA, while in sleep mode, it utilizes a mere 0.1 µA. The sensor's compatibility with solar or other renewable energy sources can further enhance its energy efficiency.
The As 201 sensor is versatile and applicative to an array of industries and sectors. These end-use applications include:
Despite its numerous advantages, the ATOMSENSES - As 201 sensor still has a few limitations. Its reliance on LoRaWAN means it depends on proximity to a LoRa gateway for efficient data transfer. Despite offering sophisticated environmental readings, it may not provide the same breadth or precision of data as specialized individual sensors for each environmental variable. Lastly, the sensor’s performance may be affected by severe weather conditions or mechanical and electrical interference in its vicinity.
