Component ratios / ranges
Component ratios and ranges can be illustrated as follows:
Component ratios and ranges
Ratios
A single Mesh Gateway can support up to 100 Sensors while a single Border Gateway can support up to 20 Mesh Gateways.
When planning Pilot or Live deployments, we recommend the following ratios of components:
| Components | Ratio | Description |
|---|---|---|
| # of sensors to Mesh Gateways | 100 : 1 | Sensors : Mesh Gateway |
| # of Mesh Gateways to Border Gateways | 20 : 1 | Mesh Gateways : Border Gateway |
Device ranges
When determining the location of devices in a site, ensure sensors and gateways are well within range for sending and receiving messages.
| Components | Range |
|---|---|
| Border Gateway to Mesh Gateways | 2 km to 3 km |
| Mesh Gateway to Mesh Gateway | 2 km to 3 km |
| Sensor to Mesh Gateway | 1 km |
| Sensor gas detection | 80 m to 100 m |
Note
Range is dependent on forest topology.
