Introduction
This User Guide covers specific hardware features of R9 Technologies model
G200
wireless LTE gateway device
.
The gateway device is used to gather data from one or
several sensor nodes (using a local wireless sensor network), and will then use an LTE
wireless data link to transfer this sensor data to a database located on an internet-based
server. The database can be used by customers to view and analyze the gathered sensor
information
The G200 device’s position in the overall network can be seen in the diagram below.
The G200 “Picogate” is the second device from the far-right end of the network diagram,
shown below. It gathers sensor information from SN400 sensor devices. This sensor
data will, ultimately, be viewed and analyzed on a user’s personal computer or smart
device using a web-browser. Alerts which are received via SMS text can also be
implemented using the R9 web-based system.
An LTE carrier SIM card is installed into the G200 at the factory. The G200 is powered
on, by plugging it into an AC power outlet (120V, 60 Hz.). The device will initialize, and
then immediately connect to the LTE network, local to your area. To get the G200
device to start collecting and forwarding sensor data, it will have to be “onboarded” into
the R9 online portal system. The
R9 Online Portal User Guide
lists specific steps
required to onboard your gateway device into the portal system.
The G200 cellular gateway provides two local wireless data networks. These two
networks are used to allow sensor data to travel from the sensor node devices, to a web-
