Wireless technology continues to reshape building automation by simplifying installation and reducing the challenges tied to running wire throughout large facilities. As discussed in Lower cost and reduce project risk with wireless BACnet, wireless solutions are helping facilities reduce labor demands and improve project flexibility. Kele supports this growing shift with our offering of products like Parameter’s RLE WiNG wireless leak detection sensors.
Five key advantages of the Parameter WiNG wireless platform
When it comes to critical infrastructure, reliable facility monitoring is nonnegotiable. Tracking environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and CO2 plays a critical role in meeting safety and efficiency goals, maintaining optimal equipment performance parameters, and preventing downtime.
One of Parameter’s biggest innovations in facility monitoring is the fully wireless WiNG product line, including the WiNG-MGR v2 gateway and an array of sensors for specific environmental conditions. This technology offers the same reliability and security as wired systems without the cumbersome installation process. By eliminating the need for wired facility monitoring equipment, the WiNG platform has changed what’s possible for data centers, enhancing flexibility and reducing complexity to enable projects that would otherwise be impractical.
Here are five benefits of Parameter’s WiNG wireless facility monitoring solutions.
1. Elevated reliability & performance
A common misconception about wireless monitoring systems is that they lack reliability and consistency. However, advancements made by Parameter engineers have allowed the new generation of WiNG wireless technology to achieve reliability and performance quality on par with its wired counterparts, and these systems deliver greater than 98% packet transmission accuracy.
For maximum functionality, the feature-rich WiNG-MGR v2 web interface offers direct alarm, email notifications, and integrated mapping for quick data visualization, empowering technicians to locate triggered sensors immediately. The WiNG product line is also optimized for multi-year performance with industry-leading battery life: sensor batteries last up to 7 years with transmission every 5 minutes, so once the system is installed, it can continue to operate with minimal maintenance and supervision.
2. Quick, easy set-up
One of the primary advantages of Parameter’s WiNG line is its quick and easy installation process. With no wires for power or data transmission, WiNG wireless products don’t require any cable pulls, conduit, or drilling. They can be mounted in seconds, making them an ideal solution for facilities looking to minimize time and labor investments.
WiNG wireless sensors are specifically designed for seamless integration with native BMS. They can be assigned names and locations, and the WiNG-MGR v2 discovers them automatically to start logging data immediately.
3. Advanced security
When it comes to critical infrastructure, security is always paramount, and many operators have concerns about maintaining data integrity when using wireless equipment. WiNG technology is built with security embedded at every level via industry-standard SMPv3 protocols with role-based access and HTTPS/TLS integration.
As an equally secure alternative to wired platforms, the system operates entirely on-premises and only allows one-way encrypted communications to eliminate the threat of intermediary access. WiNG solutions also support WPA/WPA2-PSK encryption and encrypted data storage for network and configuration information.
4. Comprehensive coverage
WiNG wireless products help operators consolidate facility monitoring into a unified system that’s comprehensive enough to cover entire facilities. A single WiNG-MGR v2 offers a wireless transmission range of to 600 feet and support for 250 sensors. With the WiNG-RXT, this can be expanded to 1,000 feet and 400 sensors.
Parameter’s wireless sensors encompass detection for nine critical conditions – including temperature/humidity, leaks, carbon dioxide, air velocity, differential pressure, smoke, motion/doors/security, dry contact, and analog input – making the WiNG wireless platform a complete environmental monitoring solution for facilities of all sizes and levels of complexity.
5. No subscription fees
Securing and optimizing critical infrastructure shouldn’t require recurring fees, and operators should own their own data.
Parameter’s WiNG wireless platform does not operate on a subscription model. Once you purchase the equipment, it’s yours forever and includes free access to future firmware updates that add new features.
The future is wireless
Parmeter’s advancements in the WiNG platform have made it possible for data centers to transition to fully wireless environmental monitoring solutions without sacrificing performance. These solutions have effectively removed the limitations of wired equipment, unlocking new opportunities in the world of critical infrastructure.
