Thingsee GATEWAY GLOBAL

Haltian Gateway Global Plug and Play IoT Gateway Device-

Thingsee GATEWAY GLOBAL is a plug & play IoT gateway device for large scale IoT solutions. It can be connected anywhere in the world with its LTE Cat M1/NB-IoT and 2G cellular support. The main role of Thingsee GATEWAY GLOBAL is to ensure that data flows continuously, reliably and safely from the sensors to the cloud.
Thingsee GATEWAY GLOBAL connects a mesh of a few to hundreds of wireless sensor devices to Thingsee Operations Cloud. It exchanges data with the mesh network and sends data to cloud backends.

Sales package content

  • Thingsee GATEWAY GLOBAL
  • Includes SIM card and managed SIM subscription
  • Power supply unit (micro-USB)

Note before installation

Install the gateway to a secure location. In public places, install the gateway behind locked doors.
To ensure strong enough signal strength for data delivery, keep the maximum distance between mesh network devices under 20 m.

If the distance between a measuring sensor and the gateway is > 20m or if the sensors are separated by a fire door or other thick building materials, use extra sensors as routers.

Thingsee installation network structure
Thingsee devices build a network automatically. Devices communicate all the time to adjust the network structure for effective data delivery. Sensors create subnetworks for data delivery by choosing the best possible route based on signal strength. The subnetwork chooses the strongest possible gateway connection for data delivery to the cloud. The customer network is closed and secure. It cannot be harmed by third party connections.
Haltian Gateway Global Plug and Play IoT Gateway Device-fig3The amount sensors per one gateway varies depending on the sensors’ reporting time: the longer the reporting time, the more sensor can be connected to one gateway. The usual amount is from 50-100 sensors per gateway to even up to 200 sensors.
To ensure mesh network data flow, a second gateway can be installed on the other side of the installation site.

Things to avoid in installation
Avoid installing the Thingsee products near the following:

Escalators Haltian -icon
Electrical transformers or thick electrical wires Haltian -icon1
Nearby halogen lamps, fluorescent lamps or similar lamps with hot surface Haltian - icon 13
Thick concrete structures or thick fire doors Haltian -icon3
Nearby radio equipment like WiFi routers or any other similar high power RF transmitters Haltian -icon4

Data integration
Make sure that data integration has been properly setup prior to the installation process. See link https://support.haltian.com/howto/aws/ Thingsee data can be pulled (subscribed) from the Thingsee Cloud live data stream, or the data can be pushed to your defined end point (e.g. Azure IoT Hub before you install the sensors.)

Installation

Please make sure the Thingsee GATEWAY GLOBAL is installed before you install the sensors.
To identify the gateway, read the QR code on the backside of the device with a QR code reader or Thingsee installation application on your mobile device.
Identifying the device is not necessary, but it will help you keep track of your IoT installation and help Haltian support to solve possible issues.

Haltian Gateway Global Plug and Play IoT Gateway Device-fig4To identify the device over Thingsee API, please follow the link for further information: https://support.haltian.com/api/open-services-api/api-sequences/

Connect the power source to the gateway and plug it into a wall socket with 24/7 power.
Note: always use the power source included in the sales package.

Haltian Gateway Global Plug and Play IoT Gateway Device-fig5Note: The socket-outlet for the power source shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Thingsee GATEWAY GLOBAL is always cellular connected:
LED indication is used to provide gateway status information.
The LED on top of the device starts to blink:
