The GeoNet 8800 Series is a low-power, wireless data acquisition system and hosted data platform. The integrated system affords the efficient collection of sensor data from many points and provides secure access to sensor data via the Internet and GEOKON OpenAPI. The system is especially useful in geographically complex locations where a wired infrastructure would be costly, or impossible, to install and difficult to maintain. The 8800 Series comprises single- and multichannel Vibrating Wire Mesh Nodes and Addressable Mesh Nodes to read all GEOKON vibrating wire and addressable sensors, respectively. Self-contained Tiltmeters are also available, for attachment to structures, to wirelessly measure any tilting that may occur. The multichannel VW Mesh Nodes expand the capacity at each node, allowing clusters of closely spaced sensors or vibrating wire load cells, multipoint borehole extensometers or multilevel piezometers to be added to the system. The system is compatible with all GEOKON Vibrating Wire instruments, addressable¹ sensor strings and addressable thermistor strings. A Cellular Gateway + Mesh Supervisor controls the network, collects all sensor data from any nodes deployed and provides seamless and secure cloud integration, which is achieved via GEOKON OpenAPI. GEOKON Agent software or optional third party software² may be used for secure data access and visualization via the Internet. A Mesh Supervisor, without cellular capabilities or cloud integration, provides the same control over the network to allow secure, localized access to your sensor data. The network is self-healing and will reconfigure itself, if possible, to tolerate disturbances to the physical environment. This topology is more flexible than star networks, in that communication can be established around obstructions. Up to 12 networks can coexist by setting each to a different operating frequency (channel).
¹Addressable MEMS, VW and Thermistor strings.
²Third party OpenAPI software options available soon.
¹Line-of-sight, maximum 4 hops.
