Site survey

RF, power, backhaul, and hazardous-area checklist before hardware lands.

Site survey

Walk the plant with the week-one asset list from sales.

  • Power: 24 V vs mains vs battery vs solar (Photon / SG50)
  • Backhaul: Ethernet to the rack, 4G RSSI (Teltonika), LoRaWAN line-of-sight vs metal halls
  • Regional LoRaWAN plan and duty cycle
  • Hazardous zoning (TEKTELIC Ex vs indoor Milesight)
  • RTLS only if Blueiot is in the signed BOM (anchor density, ceiling height)
  • Metering: pulse vs Modbus vs CT
  • Who holds the firewall exception for TCP 1883 to iot.factoraerp.com (and 443 for the UI)
  • Lukteler: skip until datasheets

Deliverable: a marked floor plan that later becomes the Factora floor layout.
