5. BEANGATEWAY® 4G - 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 (power supply unit, and antenna). Use of other
materials may damage the BeanGateway®;
✓Only Beanair is qualified to make changes on the BeanGateway® 4G;
✓Don’t try to remove the adhesive label on the product; it contains important information such
as the MAC address
5.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The BeanGateway® 4G 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.
It provides 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.
