Industrial and yards
Truck gates, yards and warehouse campuses
On an industrial site, the runs are longest. An entrance is at the far side of a yard, the access panel is inside the building, and between them is concrete, steel and traffic that won't stop for a trencher.
These properties usually have more than one entrance to cover, and that usually settles which KNECT setup the job takes.
Entrances Aether RF bridges cover on industrial sites
Each of these is an entrance an access panel on the site can't reach by wire.
- Truck gates and yard entrances
- Outbuildings on the same site as the main building
- Warehouse campuses
- Storage facilities
- Distribution centers
Which KNECT setup an industrial site needs
Usually a Gateway, because an industrial site rarely has only one entrance.
Two to eight entrances: One to Many
OTM-K
A Gateway wires to the access panel and runs up to four entrances, and eight with a second Gateway. Each one links straight back, so the fourth gets the same range as the first.
One entrance: a pair
KEP-202 · WW152
A pair of KNECT Endpoints. For Wiegand readers with no need for the portal, a Wiegand Wave 150 pair uses the same radio for less.
- The antenna goes where the signal is
- The Gateway has no radio of its own. The ARF Tether does, and it mounts up to 400 feet from the Gateway.
- Concrete and steel
- A typical KNECT link runs 500 to 2,000 feet through obstructions. Read the signal on site before you commit.
- Range at every entrance
- Every Endpoint links straight to the Tether, so adding an entrance doesn't shorten the others.
When an industrial site needs a different product
A KNECT bridge extends an access panel that's already on the site.
- No access panel on site
- A building with no access control needs a controller that makes the decision itself. KNECT Core Access (coming soon)
- More than eight entrances
- Put a second One to Many system beside the first. One property can have as many as it needs. How One to Many works
