Collaborators Connect Wireless Sensors To The Cloud

Monnit Corp. is partnering with Cradlepoint to offer wireless sensor-to-cloud connectivity solutions for IoT. Under the partnership, Monnit’s ALTA wireless sensor adapters integrate with Cradlepoint wireless edge routers to provide reliable and secure connectivity of sensors to cloud-based monitoring applications.

 

Monnit claims its ALTA products offer four times the wireless range (1,200+ feet, non-line-of-site) and significantly stronger battery life than traditional sensors (12+ years on two AA batteries at 10-minute check-ins). The components also include bank-level security for data transmissions, onboard memory for data logging and over-the-air updates allowing for remote maintenance and feature enhancements.

 

Cradlepoint offers a portfolio of wireless edge routers, powered by the Cradlepoint NetCloud service, that promise secure and reliable IoT connectivity for on-premise, in-vehicle and in-field deployments. NetCloud Manager simplifies deployment, management and troubleshooting of edge routers while NetCloud Perimeter lets users setup a secure, software-defined overlay—in minutes—that isolates and connects Monnit wireless sensors over the 4G LTE and internet-to-cloud monitoring applications.
