The SC6320 is a second-generation solution based on the widely successful SC6310. The SC6320 is a Remote Monitoring Unit targeted at low-rate wireless data applications requiring exceptional sensitivity and long battery life. It provides wireless connectivity for sensors, I/O, and other instrumentation.

 

The embedded battery and wireless interface provides users with a stand-alone device that greatly simplifies installation and helps minimize infrastructure costs. Depending on configuration and the reporting interval, installations with a battery life of 12 to 15 years can be achieved.

 

Canary products incorporate an RPMA wireless modem, compatible with RPMA Networks. RPMA is a groundbreaking wireless technology built from the ground up, specifically targeting sensors and other low data rate devices. It’s an ideal IoT solution that provides an optimal mix of coverage, capacity, low-power consumption, and cost. It fills a significant gap in between currently available short range mesh radios and cellular M2M modems.

 

RPMA is a half-duplex system that operates in a star configuration. It is deployed using industry standard and time-tested modeling tools, similar to those used in the mobile telephony industry. The system delivers the lowest cost of ownership in the industry and is simple to deploy, operate, and maintain.

 

For heavy I/O read applications, the SC6320 supports an external power source, in which case the internal battery automatically converts to a backup supply.
