2.1. SensorOverview
The wireless sensors designed and manufactured by Radio Bridge provide full sensor to
cloud solutions for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The multi‐function sensor can be
configured for door/window open/close events, acceleration‐based movement, ambient
light, temperature, water sensing, and more. When an event is detected, an alert is sent
overthewirelessnetwork.VersionsofthesensorsupportthemajorLPWANstandardssuch
asSigfox,LoRa/LoRaWAN,andSubGig.
Featuresinclude:
Built‐inradiothattalksdirectlywiththewirelessnetwork.Standardsinclude:

messages depending on the wireless standard and usage. For an accurate estimate of battery
life, please refer to the “Sensor Battery Estimator.xlsx” spreadsheet on the Radio Bridge
website.Thisspreadsheetcombinesusageinformationsuchasaveragenumberofmessagesper
dayandestimatesthebatterylifeforaparticularsensor.
Thepowerrequiredforamessagetransmissionismuchgreaterthanthe“sleepcurrent”(the
powerconsumedwhenthesensorisinactive)forhighpowerradiotechnologiessuchasSigfox
andLoRaWAN.Thismeansthatthebatterylifeformostsensorsisprimarilydependentonthe
numberoftransmissionsperday.
Different battery types will deplete over time with different voltageprofiles.Forinstance,a
lithium battery will maintain a relatively high voltage for the life of the battery and then
experiencearapiddropneartheend,whereasanalkalinebattery will experience a more
gradualreductioninvoltageovertime.RadioBridgesensorsareshippedwithlithiumbatteries,
andthesearerecommendedwhenthebatteryneedstobeeventuallyreplaced.
Temperaturealsoplaysaroleinbatterylife.Thebatterylifeestimatesintheonlinespreadsheet
assumeroomtemperature,buttemperaturesclosetothemaximumandminimumratingswill
haveanegativeimpactonbatterylife.Forexample,batteryvoltagetends tobelowerincold
temperatures and the internal circuitry needs a certain minimum voltage to operate properly
beforeit will shutdown.Thus,batterylifewilltendtobeshorterwhenrunningthesensorin
