6. BEANGATEWAY® - PRODUCT PRESENTATION

 It is highly recommended to read all the user manual related to BeanAir software & equipment

(BeanScape ®, BeanGateway®, BeanDevice ®) before getting start your BeanGateway®.

 Use only accessories supplied by BeanAir (batteries, power supply unit, and antenna). Use of other

materials may damage the BeanGateway®;

 Only BeanAir is qualified to make changes on the BeanGateway®;

 Don’t try to remove the adhesive label on the product; it contains important information such as the

MAC address

The BeanGateway® is used to build and manage BeanAir wireless sensor networks. It can manage queues for every

network element (BeanDevice®). As a gateway, it controls the external access to the network through a highly

secured authenticated procedure. It supports the conversion of data exchanged, compression and IP connectivity

with the network thereby reducing the intelligence required in these platforms, maintenance and therefore the

associated cost.

It allows communication with the Wireless Sensors Network through IEEE 802.15.4 protocol. The BeanGateway®

provides standard protocols for a better communication with a SCADA supervision software:

 LAN/Ethernet

 GSM/GPRS

The BeanGateway® comes in three models versions:

 BeanGateway® GTW-Ethernet

 BeanGateway® GTW-GSM/GPRS

 BeanGateway® GTW- GPS

It offers the following features:

 Design, configuration and supervision of the entire Wireless sensors network.

 Data Organization from the various sensors.

 Data Transmission to the BeanScape®.

 Backing up wireless sensors network mapping.

 Information processing continuously even during a power outage.

 Network measurements synchronization for operation in low power (Telemetry Mode)

 Data recording on Micro-SD card (option)

Streaming & streaming packet data acquisition are not compatible with GSM/GPRS data

transmission. This network is undersized for this type of data acquisition.
