Specification
Step 1: Select a Tracker
Worn by the tracked object, it acquires and reports its position via GPS, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi.
Selection Criteria | Description |
Quantity | Total number of tracked objects = Number of trackers required |
Model | Select based on the reported data and development needs. Refer to the Tracker Selection Comparison Table. |
Step 2: Select a LoRaWAN® Gateway
Receives data from trackers and transmits it to the server via Ethernet/4G.
Selection Criteria | Description |
Quantity | A single Device covers a radius of 2-5 km. Estimate the quantity based on site area and obstacles. |
Deployment Environment | Choose a device with the appropriate protection rating based on the gateway's deployment location (indoor/outdoor). |
Power Supply | For outdoor locations without a power source, choose a gateway with a battery / solar power. |
Network Conditions | Choose an Ethernet Gateway if a wired network is available. Choose a 4G Gateway for wireless or flexible deployments. |
Frequency Band | [Required] Select the corresponding frequency band based on the project's country/region. Eg. EU - 863 , US - 915, Japan - 923 |
Step 3: Select Beacons (Indoor Only)
Indoor GPS signals are weak and inaccurate. Therefore, beacons are needed indoors to transmit Bluetooth signals, providing a positioning reference for trackers. The required quantity varies significantly based on desired accuracy and area:
Indoor Positioning Accuracy | Effect | Suggested Deployment Density |
Zone-level (~15m) | Determine if an object is in a specific room or area | Every 10-20 meters |
Meter-level (2-5m) | Obtain precise indoor coordinates | Every 3-7 meters |
Step 4: Select a Computing and Storage Platform
The "brain" of the solution, responsible for data processing, storage, and visualization. If you use the SENSECAP , no additional local server is required.
Deployment Mode | Advantages | Requirements |
SenseCraft Public Cloud (Recommended) | Simple, fast, maintenance-free, with API and open-source Software | Gateway requires internet access |
Private On-Premises Deployment | Data is completely private and highly secure | Requires self-deployment of servers and certain technical skills |
