# Network Specifications

### 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**    | Open, WPA2 - Personal, WPA2 - Enterprise, WPA3 - Personal, WPA3 - Enterprise |
| **Encryption Type Supported** | TKIP & AES (CCMP-128 only for WPA3)                                          |
| **Ports Required Open**       | <ul><li>80 (HTTP)</li><li>443 (HTTPS)</li><li>123 (UDP)</li></ul>            |

**Additional Requirements**

* No splash pages or button presses to join network (unless MAC address bypass is possible)

### Macro Sensor Ethernet Connection Requirements

Our Macro sensors can also connect to the Internet via Ethernet.  In this case the following LAN standards and specific requirements of our sensors are:

| Spec                    |                                                                                                                                                           |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Input**               | <p>VLAN connection to public Internet<br>IEEE 802.3 connection (minimum)</p><p>IEEE 802.3u (recommended)<br>10Mbps (minimum)<br>100Mbps (recommended)</p> |
| **Ethernet Cable**      | Cat 5 or Cat 6                                                                                                                                            |
| **Connector**           | RJ45 connector, 8-pin, 4 pairs                                                                                                                            |
| **Ports Required Open** | 80 (HTTP) & 443 (HTTPS)                                                                                                                                   |

### 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

{% hint style="info" %}
Occuspace's Micro sensors for measuring conference rooms and other meeting spaces use Macro sensors to relay their measurement data to our cloud.  Micro sensors do not need their own connectivity.  At least one Macro sensor (and potentially more) will be required in order for Micro sensors to operate.
