​MReX-SATLINK SATELLITE IOT GATEWAY

Picture
WTE-SatLink Solar Powered IoT Gateway
Low Power Swarm Satellite IoT Gateway
The MReX-SatLink, allows simple connection to I/O and multiple Modbus sensors.

MReX-SatLink Overview

The MReX-SatLink is a weatherproof solar powered IoT gateway that shifts data using satellite or cellular modem options.

Wired sensors can be directly connected via analog or digital input connections or through an RS422 serial connection.   Compatible with Modbus sensors of most types.
​

Features

  • Wirelessly transmits data via several modem options (Satellite, Cellular or UHF radio).
  • Send sensor data at programmed times/intervals.
  • Modbus Master operation for automated querying from a wide variety of external sensors.
  • Modbus RTU Slave configuration for integration with existing systems. 
  • Supports up to 3 Modbus sensors concurrently.
  • Multiple analog and digital inputs for direct connection to and reading of external sensors.
  • Pulse counting support for inputs.
  • Built-in 12V switched power supply to independently power external sensors.
  • Flexible formatting of I/O, Modbus and system data into transmitted data messages.
  • UHF radio sensor link provides range coverage up to 2km in bush – and greater than 15km line of sight with antenna elevation.
  • WTE message data compression greatly reduces number of billable transmissions without loss of data.
  • Many cable entry options to best fit your application.
  • Rapid installation.
  • Directly integrates with all WTE radio products.
  • Affordable with volume discounts

Ultra Low Power

The internal WTE MReX-460 module receiver operates with extremely low current while the data transceiver can remain completely off for the majority of the time. The satellite transceiver only needs to be briefly powered for message transmissions.

The MReX-SatLink includes a custom designed weather protected solar panel with rechargeable battery - this means installations can be very cost effective and fast to install. Complete installations can be as simple as attaching the MReX-SatLink to a fencepost, and connecting antennas to the unit.

Low Cost Remote Monitoring

Although the MReX-Satlink uses low cost cellular or satellite data plans, running cost can be remarkably low.  An integrated UHF transceiver allows communication with remote sensors that all can share the same data link.  Data compression individually timestamps each message and allows many samples collected at different times to be cached and transmitted in a single message.  A system with 10 wireless remote sensors can cost as little as USD $0.50 per month for each sensor on low usage plans.

MReX-SatLink Applications

  • Pest trap monitoring - especially useful in remote locations.  Well suited for the New Zealand "Predator Free 2050" initiative, with the intention to control introduced animals (such as rats, possums and stoats) that are endangering native species. 
  • Agriculture - simple reporting of equipment faults such as on irrigators or pumps.
  • Marine and mussel farming - transmission performance over water is exceptional - ranges over 5km can be expected.
  • Environmental monitoring - remote reporting of water levels and weather conditions.
  • Mining and Regulatory compliance monitoring.

MReX-Satlink. With an additional antenna and Modbus sensor a simple water monitoring system is fast to install.

Field Proven

WTE SatLink satellite products are  currently in use in the most hostile and inaccessible areas.  The first system installation for the product is on Pomona Island in New Zealand - connected to a network of monitored rat traps where is has been in use for an extended duration.
Remote rat trapping and monitoring case study details demonstrate the effectiveness of WTE SatLink products together with the  MReX-ULP.
See our Rat Trap Monitoring Solution for more details of this installation.

TReX-460.  The MReX-SatLink can communicate with the TReX-460, allowing for connection to existing networks for monitoring.  The TReX-460 can also be used as a high power repeater.
MReX-ULP.  The MReX-ULP is an ultra low power IoT Sensor directly compatible with the MReX-SatLink
MReX-PCIe.  The MReX-PCIe is a SWARM M138 modem alternative that is a direct replacement.  This gives the option for non satellite based communications and allows for fast system testing.
