Nugget Sensor Range
Nugget Wireless Sensor
Network Node
3G Nugget Interface
Nugget – Remote Ground
Sensor Interface
Nugget – External Switched
Output Interface
Features:
• Multihop mesh capability
• Re-configurable transceiver frequency within the band
• Sensors – internal PIR, internal tamper/seismic,
ambient light, break (trip)
• GPS location receiver
• External sensor interface to add further sensors as
required
• Removable battery pack with up to 30 days’
continuous use life
Benefits:
A fully portable surveillance sensor system, this is capable
of detecting the presence of an intruder via sensors
and sending an alarm to a central receiving node. Ideal
for covert surveillance, nodes can be configured before
deployment and then individual units can be configured
wirelessly to reflect changes required.
Features:
• Ability to monitor a deployed Nugget sensor network
anywhere in the world that has a 2G/3G link
• 3G/2G interface to the Cobham range of Nugget
sensors
• Can be deployed alongside Nugget sensors on long
duration missions
• Interfaces to any Nugget in the MESH using a
dedicated cable
• Data fully encoded
Benefits:
The Nugget sensor range operates in a long range
MESH, allowing users to protect an area by deploying
Nuggets in a wide perimeter. Each Nugget contains a
Passive Infrared (PIR), trip wire, vibration and light sensor
and can be upgraded with other sensor interfaces. The
system typically provides up to 1km wireless range
between Nuggets.The 3G Nugget Interface allows even
more remote monitoring of activity on a deployed
Nugget MESH using public 3G/2G networks.
Features:
• Simple connection to Nugget via single cable
• Enables use of existing Remote Ground Sensors
within the Nugget mesh system
• Compact and rugged
• Weatherproof housing compliant to IP67
• Automatic detection of sensor type
• All configuration carried out with Mission
Commander GUI software
Benefits:
Cobham’s Remote Ground Sensor (RGS) Interface is
compatible with the Wireless Sensor Network Node
(Nugget) and connected to it by a single cable. There
are no external switches, indicators or controls. Power
is applied when connected to the Nugget. It adds the
capability to connect one of a number of existing RGS
Sensors to the Nugget, such as Long Range Passive
Infrared, Seismic/Geophone, Magnetic and Break Wire,
all available from Cobham.
Features:
• 4 I/O channels configurable to either an input or an
output
• Compact and rugged, with weatherproof housing
compliant to IP67
• Automatic switching of equipment on trigger input
• Remote switching of equipment
• All configuration carried out with Mission
Commander GUI software
• No external switches, indicators or controls
Benefits:
Cobham’s External Switched Output Interface is
compatible with the Wireless Sensor Network Node
and connected to it by a single cable. It can connect a
number of additional COTS sensors and/or equipment
(such as cameras) that require remote switching, to
reduce power consumption, and increase battery life.
I/O can be configured to be an input or output. As input,
open/closed contact to ground is detected as an alarm.
As an output, open-drain FETs provide switched path to
ground capable of switching up to 2A at 36V.
