Network Specifications
Occuspace Macro sensors are designed to easily communicate with the Occuspace cloud via cellular connectivity. They can also integrate with existing customer networks via WiFi or Ethernet.
Macro Sensor Cellular Network Connection
Our Macro sensors come automatically enabled to communicate with cellular networks with the connectivity and data fully managed by Occuspace. This is the recommended method of connectivity for most situations in which Macro sensors are installed due to ease and speed of install. The table below outlines the supported cellular bandwidth and networks:
Spec
Cellular Connectivity Standard
LTE CAT-1
Cellular Networks Supported
Roams on AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile
Cellular Data Plan
Fully managed by Occuspace, no customer involvement necessary
Macro Sensor WiFi Network Connection Requirements
Our customers frequently supply a WiFi network that our Macro sensors use to connect to the Internet and send data back to Occuspace's cloud. The table below outlines the supported WiFi standards and specific requirements of our sensors:
Spec
WiFi
802.11 b/g/n/ac 2.4GHz or 5GHz
Network Type Supported

WiFi / Ethernet Network Setup Best Practices & Recommendations
We recommend that our customers whitelist the MAC addresses of each Occuspace Macro sensor in their central network/IT infrastructure
We also recommend when possible that customers assign static IP addresses for each Occuspace Macro sensor
