iEdge 4.0 OS-enabled PSS IAQ sensors
26/06/2024
Polysense Technologies, a provider of low-power wide-area (LPWA) Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for wireless sensing, has introduced its latest suite of indoor air quality (IAQ) sensors, representing the next generation of the company’s PSS sensors product line. These ready-to-use multi-sensor solutions are powered by the iEdge 4.0 operating system (OS) and the adaptable WxS product platform, designed to offer a seamless and modular approach to IAQ monitoring.
The expanded PSS IAQ sensor portfolio introduces ten sophisticated models, adding to Polysense’s extensive catalogue of over 300 gas sensors and multi-analyte sensors. These sensors are crafted to offer immediate, out-of-the-box solutions for a variety of environments, including commercial, educational, industrial and public spaces worldwide.
Each PSS IAQ sensor is engineered with advanced detection capabilities to identify and quantify indoor pollutants and contaminants such as CO2, total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), HCHO and particulate matter (PM) levels. These ready-to-use sensors also monitor temperature, humidity and air pressure, providing a full spectrum analysis of indoor environments to facilitate swift and informed decisions for air quality improvement.
A key feature of the new PSS IAQ sensors is their seamless integration with WxS terminals, such as the WxS8800 for LoRaWAN, WxS9900 for narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) and WxSD800 for long-term evolution technology for machines (LTE Cat M).
These terminals provide a flexible wireless uplink for cloud connectivity, supporting a range of protocols including NB-IoT, Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN and LTE Cat 1, Cat M and Cat 4. This ensures that the PSS IAQ sensors can be easily integrated into existing smart systems and IoT ecosystems, enabling remote monitoring and data analysis.
Alex Wu, President and CEO of Polysense Technologies, highlighted the user-centric design of the new PSS IAQ sensors: “At Polysense, we are committed to developing technology that is not only innovative but also accessible. Our new PSS IAQ sensors are designed to be plug-and-play, allowing for immediate deployment and tangible improvements in IAQ without the need for complex set-up procedures. When paired with our WxS terminals, these sensors offer a robust and flexible solution for IAQ monitoring, with support for multiple wireless protocols to ensure reliable and remote monitoring capabilities.”
Polysense’s build-your-own-devices (BYOD) philosophy enables customers to mix and match PSS sensors to create custom solutions that target specific gas parameters. The new PSS multiple-in-one sensors are pre-integrated, tested and ready for immediate use, offering ease of deployment and reliability.
