Features

  • One AP10 supports up to 32 VaiNet data loggers
  • Runs on Power over Ethernet or DC adaptor
  • Minimal infrastructure and no signal amplifiers needed
  • Uses HTTPS communication and encryption to ensure secure data transmission
  • Chirp Spread Spectrum wireless modulation is resistant to multipath fading
  • Secure firewall and data integrity

Key benefits

Longer range in complex environments

VaiNet communicates outside of more heavily trafficked 2.4 GHz bands, making the signal less vulnerable to interference. Additionally, VaiNet's low frequency signal means much longer range and better penetration in complex, obstructed environments like warehouses; at least 100 meters.

Reliable connectivity

Once accepted in viewLinc, VaiNet data loggers stay synchronized, even in situations where other nearby VaiNet networks overlap. Redundancy is achieved through load distribution between VaiNet access points, which share multiple loggers in range.

Data integrity ensured

VaiNet AP10 access points transfer data from the data loggers to viewLinc Enterprise Server. Both the access point and the software verify that the data is received correctly. Once the data is verified, it is stored to viewLinc's secure database and protected from tampering and loss.
