SensMax SMX LR TS: Long-Range Automatic Data Gateway

🛰️ SensMax SMX Data Gateway: Smart Data Hub for People Counting & Customer Feedback

The SensMax SMX Data Gateway is a central hub designed to collect data from wireless people counting sensors and customer survey buttons. It reads statistics over a secure radio channel and automatically transmits them to the SensMax reporting portal using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Supporting up to 30 devices, the SMX gateway provides a simple way to connect multiple sensors in retail stores, offices, and public institutions.

⚙️ How It Works

The SMX gateway queries connected sensors every 20 minutes and forwards the data to the SensMax online reporting system. Information can also be exported directly into third-party software applications using the MQTT protocol. If the internet connection is lost, the gateway internally stores up to 25 days of hourly data and resends it once connectivity is restored.

🔌 Installation and Connectivity

Installation is fully plug-and-play. The gateway connects via Ethernet (priority) or 2.4GHz Wi-Fi (WPA2-PSK). Once connected to a router, the device automatically transmits data to the SensMax portal. For larger buildings or outdoor areas, you can choose from three models with different communication ranges, ensuring that the sensors and the gateway match the same range type (Pro, LR, or SLR).

🏆 Key Technical Advantages

• Dual Connectivity: Ethernet and Wi-Fi options with automatic failover in case of network drops.

• Backup Memory: Up to 25 days of hourly data stored internally during network interruptions.

• Wide Coverage: Models available for communication ranges up to 1000 meters.

• Flexible Integration: Direct data export via MQTT for third-party systems.

• Plug-and-Play: Quick setup without complex network configurations.

🚀 Real-World Applications

• Retail Stores: Connect people counters and survey buttons to measure foot traffic and customer satisfaction.

• Shopping Malls: Aggregate data from multiple entrances into a single unified dashboard.

• Libraries and Museums: Track visitor statistics and feedback required for funding reports.

• Public Restrooms: Monitor people flow to optimize cleaning and sanitation schedules.

• Office Buildings: Measure occupancy trends to improve space planning.

💼 Business Impact

The SensMax SMX Data Gateway allows you to build a completely wireless monitoring network, eliminating the need for wiring between sensors and servers. This wireless setup makes installation faster and more flexible, while the dual Ethernet and Wi-Fi options ensure stable data transmission. The internal backup memory guarantees that collected statistics are safe during outages and automatically synchronized once connection is restored.
