MicroStrain's wireless sensor networks enable simultaneous, high-speed sensing and data acquisition from multiple wireless strain gauges, accelerometers, temperature, and millivolt inputs. The range of wireless sensing systems is ideal for both small scale applications requiring a few sensor nodes and large scale applications requiring hundreds of sensor nodes. OEM options are available for embedded applications.

- Streaming rates up to 4KHz from multiple nodes
- Datalogging rates up to 2048 Hz
- On-board memory stores 1,000,000 measurements
- Programmable communication range from 70m to 2,000m
- Low power consumption for extended use
- Internal rechargeable battery
G-Link® -MIL, a ruggedized wireless accelerometer node, is EMI/EMC qualified to MIL-STD-461F, and designed for use in the most hostile environments. Combining triaxial accelerometers, embedded processing, wireless communications, and precision timekeeping, G-Link®- mXRS wireless nodes operate within a fast, synchronized, scalable network of wireless sensor nodes located up to 2 km from our WSDA® -MIL. G-Link® -MIL nodes include an internal replaceable battery pack and measure accelerations, vibrations, tilt angles and temperature.
Using exclusive MicroStrain® beaconing protocols to synch every sensor node’s precision timekeeper, WSDA®-MIL coordinates and receives data collection from all MicroStrain extended range, synchronized (mXRS™) wireless sensor nodes. Users can easily program each node on the scalable network for simultaneous, periodic, or burst mode sampling with MicroStrain® Node Commander® software, which then automatically configures network radio communications to maximize the aggregate sample rate. The system offers a robust, flexible local interface for data storage, viewing and configuration.
