Components of Energy Optimizer-Data Center Edition include:
* IPthermal-XT Nodes (new), which provide up to seven temperature and one humidity measurements, are used in hot and cold aisles to measure input and output air temperatures at various heights from the raised floor and to generate heat maps.
* IPthermal-HT Nodes (new), which provide up to four combined temperature and humidity measurements, are used for sensing CRAH supply and return conditions.
* IPthermal-CF Nodes (new), which measure chiller water flow and temperature with up to two pipe surface temperature probes and one ultrasonic flow meter input, are used to measure air conditioning unit efficiency.
* IPpressure Nodes (new), placed at up to three points just above and below the data center's raised floor to measure differential air pressure, reveal air-flow paths and indicate possible plenum leaks or sub-floor blockages.
* IPpower Nodes are mains-powered nodes mounted in or near electrical circuit-breaker panels to measure AC power and voltage on 3-18 circuits per node.
* Energy Portal (with new thermal data software) is a web-based application that displays detailed energy and thermal usage data in graphical and tabular formats.
* PhyNet Router is an IP router connecting users' WSNs to the PhyNet Server and the Energy Portal. The router connects to the portal over local- or wide-area network links (e.g., Wi-Fi, Ethernet) and to the sensor nodes over IEEE 802.15.4 low-power radio links using the IETF 6LoWPAN (IPv6 over low-power wireless personal area networks) standard.
All wireless nodes are battery-operated with an optional AC wall adapter, and support over-the-air (OTA) software upgrades.
Pricing and Availability
Arch Rock Energy Optimizer-Data Center Edition is available now. The Energy Portal is offered as a hosted service or an on-site customer premise appliance. An example starter configuration including the Energy Portal (one-year subscription to hosted service), one PhyNet Router, three IPpower Nodes (monitoring up to nine circuits), four IPthermal-XT nodes (up to 28 temperature measurement points and four humidity points), one IPthermal-HT node (up to four combined thermal and humidity measurement points), two IPpressure nodes (up to six differential pressure measurement points), and two IPrelay (extender) nodes, is priced at $9,995 (U.S. list).

As we move closer to fully realizing the potential of Wi-Fi 7, it becomes evident that the RF, signaling, and throughput tests are not merely procedural checkpoints but the pillars of excellence in wireless communication.
With low earth orbit (LEO) satellites fast becoming the norm and 3GPP unifying telecom standards around the globe, the satellite IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) sector ought to be looking at a bright horizon. But is this the case?
