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

Open, WPA2 - Personal, WPA2 - Enterprise, WPA3 - Personal, WPA3 - Enterprise

Encryption Type Supported

TKIP & AES (CCMP-128 only for WPA3)

Ports Required Open

  • 80 (HTTP)

  • 443 (HTTPS)

  • 123 (UDP)

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

VLAN connection to public Internet IEEE 802.3 connection (minimum)

IEEE 802.3u (recommended) 10Mbps (minimum) 100Mbps (recommended)

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

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.
