The Cloud Connector uses a cellular or ethernet connection to relay data from wireless sensors that communicate using the SecureDataShot protocol to the DT cloud infrastructure. Data from the cloud can be viewed directly in DT Studio (web application) or integrated into other services using REST APIs and webhooks.
Features
- Built-in SIM card with a cellular roaming agreement
- Automatically connects to the strongest cellular network
- Long wireless range between sensors and Cloud Connector
- No setup or configuration
- Supports up to 10,000 sensors
- Automatic software updates
