How it works

Tensor’s IoT data acquisition mesh network works on a fundamental principle; acquire sensor data wirelessly and seamlessly. We want to shake up the data acquisition space. Our wireless sensor nodes feature data capture capabilities with direct mesh network data transfer tailored for all of your sensor needs.

Capabilities

Thermocouple, Resistance Thermometer, Strain, Accelerometer, Pressure, Air Toxicity, Position, Video, Microphone and more.

Design

Nodes feature a data capture board, roughly 2.5cm x 2.5cm with battery cell included. In addition, every Tensor node comes complete with Tensor’s innovative mesh network solution geared to support drop-in sensor additions to any existing mesh network. Tensor’s low power design also makes it possible for nodes to run independent of user interaction for months at a time.
