Deploy Monitoring Without IT Delays
Deploy Monitoring Without IT Delays
The Waites Network operates on an air-gapped private mesh, independent from the plant's systems. Teams can expand monitoring without requiring major network changes, corporate Wi-Fi access, firewall updates, or added IT complexity. During deployment, Waites can configure the network to operate on a selected RF channel within the 2.4 GHz spectrum, helping it coexist with existing wireless infrastructure instead of competing with it.
Keep Data Moving in Difficult Industrial Environments
Keep Data Moving in Difficult Industrial Environments
The Waites Network was designed specifically for industrial facilities — steel structures, concrete floors, electrical interference, complex layouts. Radio technology built for real plant conditions keeps data moving reliably regardless of what the environment throws at it.

Scale From One Line to an Entire Facility
A single gateway supports thousands of sensors. Repeaters extend coverage by up to several kilometers. Monitor one production line or an entire multi-building facility with the same infrastructure.
High-Fidelity Machine Data for Accurate Predictive Maintenance
High-Fidelity Machine Data for Accurate Predictive Maintenance
Predictive AI is only as good as the data feeding it. Microsecond-level time synchronization across sensors enables simultaneous multi-axis capture and system-level diagnosis across machine trains.
The gateway coordinates all sensor communication across your facility and sends encrypted machine health data to the Waites Cloud via 4G/LTE cellular.
Built with automatic best-signal cellular selection and an onboard battery backup, the gateway keeps your monitoring program running even when power or connectivity is interrupted.
Sensor capacity: Thousands per gateway
Connectivity: 4G/LTE cellular
Enclosure rating: IP66
Encryption: AES-128 + TLS
Battery backup: 12V 5Ah
Protocol: 802.15.4 / 2.4 GHz
Waites Wireless Nodes connect the SV5 and S4B tethered sensors and Universal Adapters into the network, routing machine health data through the gateway for AI analysis.
Nodes run on battery or line power, giving teams flexibility across asset types and locations without running power infrastructure to every monitored point.
Sensor inputs: Vibration, temp, tach, Universal AdapterPower options: Battery or line-powered
Protocol: 802.15.4 / 2.4 GHz
Deployment: Wireless or tethered sensors
Waites Repeaters extend the mesh network across long distances, around structural barriers, and into remote areas of large or multi-level facilities. Each repeater extends signal coverage by approximately 1,000 meters, and up to three can be daisy-chained for multi-kilometer reach from a single gateway.
For plants with complex layouts, distant outbuildings, or RF-challenging areas, repeaters close the coverage gaps that would otherwise leave critical assets dark.
Range per hop: ~1,000 m line-of-sight
Daisy-chain limit: Up to 3 per chain
Maximum reach: Multi-kilometer
Power: Line-powered
