OVERVIEW
Extend the Range of HOBOnet with Our Wireless Repeater
A solar-powered wireless repeater designed to work with the HOBOnet Wireless Sensor Network. Ideal for use when there’s an obstruction between wireless sensors and the HOBO RX3000 or the HOBO MicroRX station, or for extending the transmission range of wireless sensors in the network.
The RXW Repeater is designed to work with the HOBOnet (HOBO® RX) Wireless Sensor Network in which data is transmitted wirelessly from sensor motes across the network to the station and then uploaded to the LI-COR Cloud IoT platform (formerly HOBOlink). The repeater is ideal when there is an obstruction between motes and the station or for extending the transmission range of motes in the network. With HOBOlink, you can monitor the network, view graphs, set up alarms, download data, and more.
Features
- 900 MHz wireless mesh self-healing technology
- 450 to 600 meter (1,500 to 2,000 feet) wireless range and up to five hops
- Up to 50 wireless sensors or 336 data channels per HOBO RX station
- Simple button-push to join the HOBOnet wireless network
- Onboard memory to ensure no data loss
- Powered by rechargeable AA batteries and built-in solar panel
Important Information
A complete system requires at least one HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station, a HOBOnet Wireless Manager, and a HOBOnet Wireless Sensor, OR one HOBO MicroRX Station (which has an integrated HOBOnet Wireless Manager) and a HOBOnet Wireless Sensor. HOBOnet Wireless Repeaters (RXW-RPTR-xxx or RXW-RPTR-B-xxx) can be added to extend the range.
