RESOURCES
Practical guidance for planning your monitoring project
Explore how sensor networks, monitoring platforms, and connected technologies can support your operation, and what to consider when planning a deployment.
BEFORE YOU START
Define what your monitoring project needs
MEASURE
Identify the information you need
Start with the conditions, levels, or movements you need to monitor. Decide how often updates are needed and which events should trigger an alert.
COVERAGE
Map the operating environment
Identify the sites, distances, obstacles, and installation locations involved. Note where power and connectivity are available and where equipment must operate independently.
WORKFLOW
Decide how your team will use the data
Define who needs access, what decisions the information should support, and whether data should appear in a wanwave platform or your existing systems.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Do wanwave sensors need a gateway?
Yes. wanwave sensors communicate over our proprietary network and require compatible wanwave gateways to receive their measurements and forward the data to software or existing IT systems.
Can we use our existing IT systems?
Yes. You can connect the sensor data stream to your existing systems or use a wanwave monitoring platform. Integration requirements depend on your systems and the information you need.
How long do sensor batteries last?
Many wanwave sensors can operate for several years on battery power. Battery life depends on the sensor model and how frequently it measures and transmits data.
Can we start with a small pilot?
Small pilot installations are possible for suitable use cases. We can discuss a limited deployment to assess coverage, data quality, and how the information fits your workflow.
What do you need to monitor or protect?
Tell us about your operation, the information you need, and the decisions it should support. We’ll discuss suitable technologies, integration requirements, and a practical next step.
