Wireless Operating Bands (Antennas)
Sensor Network
: The G200 will use only the 915 Mhz ISM band (United States) to
wirelessly connect to, and transmit/receive data from the sensor node devices. The
frequency range of operation is 902 Mhz to 928 Mhz The G200 uses a frequency
hopping algorithm to minimize generated noise and improve immunity from external RF
interference. An 868 Mhz ISM band (European) version of the G200 is also available
(G201).
The G200 915 Mhz antenna is PCB mounted and located internally to the enclosure.
Note that it is possible to connect an external antenna to the G200 device. This is
supported only as an option, and should not be necessary in a typical application.
LTE Data Network
: The LTE data network is used by the G200 to wirelessly transmit
sensor data from the node devices to internet-based web servers. The G200 uses an LTE
category 1 radio for this purpose. The LTE bands of operation are bands 2,4, and 12.
Band 2 - 1900 Mhz, Band 4 - Extended AWS 1700/2100 Mhz, Band 12 - 700 Mhz
BLE Radio
: The BLE radio is optional, and is not used in a typical system. The BLE
radio could be used as a secondary sensor network, or for wireless configuration of the
G200 device. The BLE band of operation is 2.4 GHz.
GPS Receiver
: The GPS receiver is optional, and is not used in a typical system. The
GPS receiver (receive only) operates between the frequencies of 1559 Mhz to 1609 Mhz.
These frequencies are in the standard operating band for GPS/GNSS.
