Two models of battery-powered wireless people counters are available from EvolvePlus, with each having advantages for different people counting environments. Each model provides different data transmission methods, whilst both models utilise the same sensor enclosure with horizontal infrared technology. This enables customers to choose the model that best suits their environment.

The Wireless RF (Short Range) People Counter model can transmit count data every few seconds and is ideal for organisations that require self-hosted software or live occupancy displays. This model features indicator lights on the sensors to highlight successful data transmission and low battery.

The Gateway (SNG Hub) for the Wireless RF (Short Range) People Counter model needs located within 20 metres of the people counter sensors and provide connectivity to the network via ethernet. Reporting software for installation on your own PC/server is included, with the option for the EvolvePlus Cloud Dashboard.

The Wireless LoRaWAN (Long Range) People Counter model has a key feature of counting people at both indoor and outdoor entrances that may be located hundreds of metres from the LoRaWAN Gateway, with the data transmitted every 30 minutes for analysis and reporting to the EvolvePlus Cloud Dashboard.

The gateway includes wi-fi, ethernet, and optional 4G network connectivity and is also available with an external long-range antenna. Instead of the EvolvePlus Cloud Dashboard, organisations can also choose to use their own Smart Cities LoRaWAN IoT data platform.

Organisations face the challenge on how to effectively count people and facilities and entrances located hundreds of metres from the nearest mains power source, with data automatically transmitted to a cloud platform for reporting and analysis.

Our LoRaWAN People Counting solution solves this challenge with our battery powered People Counter sensors implemented at remote locations. For example:

• public toilets
• parks
• playgrounds
• sporting facilities
• outdoor events
• footpaths
• visitor centres
• leisure centres

The footfall traffic data is automatically transmitted to a LoRaWAN gateway located in close proximity (which can be hundreds of metres or a few kilometres away depending on the LoRaWAN base station and long range antenna).

Our latest LoRaWAN People Counter utilises the AS923 band, which is broadly supported by LoRaWAN network operators and gateways for IoT devices across both New Zealand and Australia.
