Temperature Sensors for Virtually Any Application
Deploy a broad temperature monitoring portfolio. Monnit offers temperature sensors for many different environments and measurement ranges. ALTA Wireless Temperature Sensors include Standard, Low, Digital, High, Duct, and Motion+ models, complemented by Next™ Wi-Fi and PoE•X™ Power over Ethernet options.
The portfolio supports monitoring across food service, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, agriculture, and facilities.
Choose the Right Sensor
Standard Temperature: -40°C to 125°C (-40°F to 257°F) for general-purpose monitoring.
Low Temperature: -200°C to 0°C (-328°F to 32°F) for ultra-low-temperature freezers and cold-chain applications.
High Temperature: -50°C to 370°C (-58°F to 700°F) for boilers, ovens, and high-temperature applications.
Duct Temperature: -40°C to 150°C (-40°F to 302°F) for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning monitoring.
Digital Temperature: -40°C to 125°C (-40°F to 257°F) for quick manual updates, LCD readings, and data auditing.
ALTA XL IoT and Ethernet Gateways extend wireless connectivity up to 2,000+ feet through 18+ walls. They transmit sensor data to iMonnit® Software for monitoring and alerts. Monnit Temperature Sensors connected to iMonnit Premiere support firmware over-the-air updates (FOTA) for performance and security.
Accuracy and Compliance
For regulated applications, Monnit offers NIST-traceable certificates through an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory and custom calibration services, helping organizations maintain accurate, documented temperature data for quality, safety, and compliance.
Scale IoT Monitoring to 4,000 Sensors
Get high-capacity IoT without added complexity. Monnit's ALTA Ethernet Gateway 4K and ALTA XL Ethernet Gateway 4K are designed for organizations deploying large fleets of ALTA Wireless Sensors. Each gateway supports up to 4,000 sensors and can actively communicate with up to 1,000 sensors over 24 hours through iMonnit Software—without requiring a personal computer or local server.
Simply connect the gateway to Ethernet and power it on. Multiple gateways can operate as a single logical network, reducing the need to configure and manage numerous independent sensor networks.
Designed for Large-Scale Deployments
The 4K gateways are well suited for organizations monitoring sensors across campuses, facilities, production environments, and distributed locations.
Applications include:
Schools and universities
Pharmaceutical and food manufacturing
Cold-chain and logistics operations
Large facilities and system-integrator deployments
You can preconfigure gateways and sensors before deployment, then connect them to Ethernet at the installation site. Sensors automatically communicate with available gateways within range, simplifying expansion and reducing network administration.
Choose the Range You Need
The ALTA Ethernet Gateway 4K provides wireless sensor connectivity up to 1,200+ feet through 12+ walls. The ALTA XL Ethernet Gateway 4K adds a high-power transceiver with up to 1 watt of transmit power, extending wireless communication up to 2,000+ feet through 18+ walls.
Key capabilities include:
Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) for interference resistance
Encrypt-RF® Security with Diffie-Hellman key exchange and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128-bit encryption
30,000-message sensor memory to help preserve data during network interruptions
Firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updates for long-term support
Built to Scale
Sensors dynamically associate with available gateways, allowing networks to adapt as devices move, reconnect, or expand. By prioritizing processing resources, memory, and performance for high-volume sensor deployments, the 4K gateways provide a scalable foundation for organizations that need to connect thousands of sensors without adding unnecessary network complexity.
