<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Through these 2 examples (of more than 1100 customers who use our solutions daily), you can understand why reliability is a major issue in our business. From a technical point of view, this materializes through 3 key elements of our technology:<\/p>\n<\/div>
- <\/i><\/span>An optimized radio protocol to ensure that all the taken measurements well received by the supervisory station (obviously we cannot imagine that a failure leads to a lack of supervision during X hours during the transportation of blood products).<\/div><\/li>
- <\/i><\/span>battery autonomy of the products of several years, allowing to limit the maintenance to be carried out on the products.<\/div><\/li>

An optimized radio protocol<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/www.newsteo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/entrepot_web.png\" "\\"entrepot_web\\"")
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>The Newsteo radio protocol is a proprietary protocol using the standard \u00ab ISM \u00bb radio bands. We had to develop our own protocol to meet the needs of our customers because no standard protocol of the market allowed high performance in radio range and extended autonomy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>The key elements that characterize it are:<\/p>\n<\/div>
- <\/i><\/span>Transmission guarantee<\/div><\/li><\/ul>
An acknowledgment is requested for each exchange between the transmitter and the receiver. This ensures that each measurement has been received. Thus, the wireless recorder sends its time stamped measurement to the receiver. If it does not receive the acknowledgment of the receiver that it has received the data, it retries several times to transmit it. If it still does not receive the acknowledgment, it stores the measurement in its embedded memory (high-durability flash memory, even in case of power failure) and tries to transmit it again during the next radio exchange.<\/p>\n
This transmission guarantee is essential wherever the measurements taken by the sensors are critical. But this is the case for all our customers, whether they work in the pharmaceutical, geotechnical or food sectors. It’s important to keep it in mind in case of different market solutions benchmarking because this essential quality is often neglected.<\/p>\n
Newsteo devices can store at least 32000 measurements in their on-board memory (ie, with one measurement every 10 minutes, approximately 220 days of measurements). Not only the device remains autonomous in case of break of the connection with the receiver but in addition it provides a local backup of the measurements, releasable manually in case of a hard blow.<\/p>\n<\/div>
- <\/i><\/span>Bidirectional transmission<\/div><\/li><\/ul>
Thanks to the bidirectionality of the transmission, the acknowledgment process is set up. It also allows the monitoring station to update the parameters of the wireless data logger and also to update the data logger software, all remotely.<\/p>\n<\/div>
- <\/i><\/span>No subscription, no entry cost<\/div><\/li><\/ul>
The use of the Newsteo protocol is free for life. For our Star Service Healthcare customer, we have, for example, equipped more than 400 vehicles, which have been communicating every 10 minutes for more than 3 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>High autonomy of the products<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/www.newsteo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/battery_life-1.png\" "\\"battery_life\\"")
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Newsteo products work in an autonomous way for several years. This is an essential element and a very strong differentiator compared to other solutions on the market for our customers, which allows them to limit the maintenance requirements. For example, we have clients in the field of geotechnical engineering, who instrument works of art by installing different types of sensors: inclinometers, extensometers \u2026 These installations are considerable and require renting nacelles, mobilizing staff and sometimes bridges or roads useaccess. For these customers, it is mandatory to limit the maintenance frequency and (very expensive) physical interventions on site.<\/p>\n
The battery life of Newsteo systems is not only evaluated in laboratory but validated by ourselves and by our customers in the field. The real problems of our customers are taken into account in the calculation of the theoretical autonomy of the systems, in particular the operating temperature, ranging from -40 \u00b0 C to + 85 \u00b0 C.<\/p>\n
In addition Newsteo offers long-lasting battery packs, allowing you to switch to a total autonomy of more than 4 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>High signal range <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Battery life sometimes comes with low radio range. Indeed, to optimize the autonomy, it is better not to use a too high emitting power to emit radio packets. At Newsteo, the maximum emitting power used is 10dBm, or 0.01 Watt. As our technical director, Franck Przysiek, likes to say “it is better to have a good ear than a big mouth that screams and gets tired”.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>Because Newsteo transmits on the 868 MHz radio frequency, long radio range can be ensured. This frequency is optimal for transmissions of few data, with large ranges.<\/p>\n<\/div>
