Netbotz 700 Series Wireless Network

[torchedya_apc]

I am looking at the possibility of deploying a Netbotz wireless network in the data center to read wireless temperature sensors. We currently use RFCode for this but are looking for something that will integrate with Struxureware DCE. When reading about this it looks like a Netbotz 750 can read a total of 47 wireless end devices (routers/sensors). In a data center the common range listed is 50 feet for wireless sensors. This looks like we would have to deploy more routers which would take away from the amount of wireless sensors we could put on the Netbotz plus we currently have more than 47 temperature sensors deployed in the data center. With this information we would likely need to deploy more than one Netbotz 750 wireless network. If we do this will they interfere with each other? If a temperature sensor is in range of more than one then can it be locked down to only the one network (Netbotz 750)? Has anyone had this issue in their environment or is there any challenges I should be aware of?

The wireless sensors are assigned to a specific NetBotz appliance by using the MAC address of the sensor - the sensor will then only join that specific NetBotz appliance / coordinator network ID. The scenario you have mentioned is typical for the wireless system deployment.
