A standard VaiNet system can contain up to 8 access points and up to 256 wireless data loggers on a single site. Standard systems can be deployed with minimal planning. The resulting system is extremely reliable and performs well in almost any environment, including sites that are challenging for wireless connections.
Systems with more than 8 access points on a single site are large VaiNet systems. Large systems can now be built by taking advantage of the VaiNet network segmentation feature. Segmentation improves the ability of VaiNet access points to share VaiNet radio channels and reduces the impact of interference on the physical radio layer. Systems with up to 32 access points and up to 1024 data loggers can be deployed on a single site as long as these updated guidelines for large systems are followed.
It is recommended to leave some unused connection capacity in each segment and not plan for a fully maxed out system. For more information on the benefits of having free capacity, see Large system planning guidelines.

Deployment of large systems should always be planned in detail. To ensure trouble-free operation, the operation of large systems should also be monitored after installation, so that any connectivity issues can be detected and corrected. |
