What does it do?
The gateway acts as a wireless access point between your sensors and your laptop, serving two core functions:
1. Maintain a low power wireless connection to our Forcebit sensors ensuring that the respective sensors maintain a high battery autonomy,
2. Setting up a local Wi-Fi network that is easily accessible by your laptop or tablet.
Rather than being tied to a specific sensor or fixed radio frequency channel, the gateway leverages adaptive frequency hopping to dynamically avoid interference and ensure a stable, reliable connection even in congested environments. A single gateway supports simultaneous streaming from up to 6 sensors, and adding a second scales the system to 10. Beyond real-time streaming, it can also store data locally for later retrieval.
Why do you need one?
While common wireless solutions like Bluetooth sensors allow a connection directly to your phone, Forcebit has deliberately decided to work with a gateway to ensure multiple sensors can be streamed simultaneously. Its compact, fanless design and compatibility with a power bank make it easy to install directly on or near the machine — no fixed infrastructure required. Our gateway has the potential to interface with external data acquisition systems using an ethernet connection with the PTP (precision time protocol) for precise time synchronization. It comes with a default IP40 rating, with an optional upgrade to IP52 available on request. The gateway has a 25GB default storage space and can be upgraded upon request.
