Gateway
As mentioned previously, the TempTale RF
2
Gateway is the core of the infrastructure for the network
and only one Gateway can be installed per facility. The Gateway is a ruggedized, self-contained
embedded computer with four antennas; two of the antennas are for 868 MHz or 915 MHz operation
while the other two antennas are for 2.4 GHz operation. The 2.4 GHz frequency is fixed regardless of
where the Gateway is installed, but the 868 MHz and 915 MHz frequencies are specific to the country of
installation. Some countries use 868 MHz, so when installing in those countries both 868 MHz antennas
must be used. When installing in countries where 915 MHz is the supported standard, two 915 MHz
antennas must be used. A universal power supply is shipped with the Gateway. When ordering the
Gateway, specify the location where it will be installed so Sensitech can provide the power cable with
the correct type of plug.
