Overview

The RSTAR Affinity Gateway is easy to set up and connect to RSTAR Affinity Data Loggers for seamless communication in a wide range of geotechnical applications.

The RSTAR Affinity Gateway receives telemetry from RSTAR Affinity Data Loggers through LoRa radio or legacy RSTAR Data Loggers. The data is forwarded to the RSTAR Affinity cloud server through wired internet, Wi-Fi, LTE, or to an on-premises server through local ISM radio.

The RSTAR Affinity Gateway enables secure wireless communication between data loggers and the RSTAR Affinity browser-based dashboard and mobile application so sensor data can be transmitted and analyzed.

Speak with an Expert

I’m very happy with the quality of the instrumentation and technical support from RST, as always. They worked with us from the initial stages of the project to ensure that we were fully prepared and equipped to use the RSTAR network for the first time. They delivered everything within the tight project time frame to ensure that there were no delays on site, and the submersible tilt meters looked like new even after over twelve months of being submerged in Thames water!
