Find out about AoFrio’s always-on connectivity hub for IoT devices.
The Network Pro delivers an always-on connected solution enabling you to get the most value possible from the AoFrio ecosystem. By acting as a connectivity hub for AoFrio IoT devices (such as SCS, Click and Monitor) the Network Pro enables all the benefits of daily data collection and real-time alerts.
Network Pro is equipped with 2 different types of radio connectivity:
- Bluetooth, for connectivity to AoFrio IoT devices
- Cellular, for internet access to enable data uploads to the AoFrio Cloud
The device is fully compatible with the AoFrio Connect IoT system and uses Bluetooth to acquire data. There are two Network Pro models.
- 'Network Pro ONE' is a Cloud-connected 1-1 communications hub that helps you monitor the performance, energy use, and location of individual coolers.
- 'Network Pro' is a communications hub that links up-to-16 nearby AoFrio IoT devices for seamless and secure data upload to the Cloud.
How it works
Once the Network Pro is installed, all data is collected and automatically uploaded to the AoFrio Cloud, and available across the AoFrio ecosystem.
Network Pro connects to the AoFrio Cloud using LTE Cat M1 cellular communications. This technology is focused on machine-to-machine (M2M) and IoT, instead of the usual consumer cellular. As such, Network Pro offers lower data costs, lower power usage (longer battery life) and lower bandwidth for less data usage. A fallback option is provided by using 2G in locations where LTE Cat M1 is not available.
