SP-WT: Wirelessly connect up to 4 AKCP intelligent sensors
to a sensorProbe+ Wireless Tunnel™ server* for rapid deployment of your sensor network over a large area
sensorProbe+ Wireless Tunnel™ (SP-WT) is a wireless sensor-pod equipped with Semtech's LoRa based radio technology, utilizing the AKCP Wireless Tunnel™ communications protocol. sensorProbe Wireless Tunnel™ allows you to connect up to 4 AKCP intelligent sensors. Sensors' data is transmitted wirelessly to a sensorProbe+ Wireless Tunnel™ server* (SP-WTS). This makes for rapid deployment of a large number of sensors that can communicate over long distance with LoRa™ based wireless communications.
sensorProbe Wireless Tunnel™ server, in turn, collects, stores and graphs data from sensorProbe+ Wireless Tunnel™ (SP-WT) units. sensorProbe Wireless Tunnel™ server provides Ethernet connectivity to access sensor data via the web UI, SNMP, Modbus TCP/IP or MQTT. AKCPro Server provides central monitoring of multiple sensorProbe Wireless Tunnel™ servers.
AKCP's proprietary Wireless Tunnel™ protocol provides guaranteed message delivery without loss of data and low power utilization for superior battery life.
Connect up to 30 SP-WT devices to the sensorProbe+ Wireless Tunnel™ server* (SP-WTS), with 4 sensors on each that gives 120 sensors from only 30 radios.
Build your own private LoRa based network without the need for any cloud services. Data is transmitted to the sensorProbe Wireless Tunnel server (SP-WTS). Multiple SP-WTS can be monitored centrally with AKCPro Server, which can run locally or on a cloud service.
sensorProbe+ Wireless Tunnel™ sensor-pod (SP-WT) is powered by either 3x AAA batteries, or 5VDC, either via the locking DC jack, or via the terminal block. Both can be used with the batteries as a failover power source. It is recommended where possible to power SP-WT via external power supply (optionally available - see listing below). An optional external battery pack (SP-WT-EXTBAT) is also available for increased life of up to 10 years.
sensorProbe+ Wireless Tunnel™ Technology - The World's Most Advanced LoRa™ Solution
AKCP Wireless Tunnel™ technology builds on standard LoRaWAN™ with AKCP's own proprietary software and hardware. Wireless Tunnel™ radio is an energy efficient, long range and low cost bi-directional communications technology. Radio frequency modulation provides deep indoor penetration through walls, elevator shafts and basements. AKCP has introduced proprietary algorithms increasing efficiency and reliability of the wireless solution, applicable for critical infrastructure monitoring.
• Immediate broadcast upon sensor status change
• "Listen before talk" to minimize packet collisions
• Queuing and re-broadcast of undelivered messages
• Increased battery life by using less airtime with shortest spread factor
• Shorter airtime means more frequent broadcasts are possible
• Tuned antennas, maximum range with shortest spreading factor
sensorProbe+ Wireless Tunnel™ Advantages
• Rapid deployment
• Save on cabling and installation costs
• Fewer base units and IP addresses
• Easy to expand with future requirements
• Can be run on batteries** if in difficult-to-power locations
No Software Required
sensorProbe+ Wireless Tunnel is simple to install and use, requiring no special software other than a standard Web Browser. sensorProbe+ Wireless Tunnel connects to an Ethernet network with a standard RJ45 connector and sends data in standard TCP/IP packets. It is easily configured with a simple menu using a Web Browser. Pro version can be password protected with 2 access account level types: Administrator, and View Only. From within an Intranet or over the Internet, the user can securely access the monitoring appliance by entering its IP address.
Centralized Management
If you are deploying multiple AKCP environment monitoring appliances, you can centrally manage them all and monitor their data through AKCPro Server - a best-in-class data center infrastructure management software (DCIM) with a focus on temperature and airflow analysis.

* At least one sensorProbe Wireless Tunnel™ server (SP-WTS) needs to be deployed to facilitate the sensorProbe Wireless Tunnel™ system, with up to 30 SP-WT units (with up to 120 sensors) wirelessly communicating with one sensorProbe+ Wireless Tunnel™ server.
** Battery life depends on environmental conditions, how often sensor is set to broadcast and how often alerts are generated.
1) Cloud AKCPro Server does not support IP cameras, and does not support Access Control products (Door Control Unit and RFID Swing Handle Locks).
2) If you need to support more than 4 AKCP environmental monitoring appliances, cloud licenses need to be purchased for all supported appliances.
