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.
