CHESTER connects to the internet via LPWAN communication technologies (NB-IoT, LTE-M, LoRaWAN, and IoT satellite connection are supported). Choose the built-in internal antenna or connect an external antenna for any of those options. For diagnostics, parametrization, and device firmware upgrades, CHESTER comes with a Bluetooth Low Energy interface available in modern smart devices and notebooks.
CHESTER has been designed from the ground up as a low-power device and provides years of operation from the primary lithium cells. Another way to power the device is to use a rechargeable battery backup module with the optional solar photovoltaic panel input. For applications where batteries are not applicable, it is possible to energize the device from a standard 24 V DC line power or 230 V AC line.
With CHESTER expansion modules, you can easily expand or transform the functionality of your device. By adding up to two X-modules, you can utilize Battery Charger, 4-Channel input, Step-Down, and much more. The modules are small and fit seamlessly on the back of the CHESTER mainboard.
The CHESTER platform goes way beyond one specific application use case. The system design, integrated hardware technologies, firmware architecture, and the ecosystem of tools - all of this scales well to a wide range of applications - from Industry 4.0, smart city, e-metering, and environmental monitoring to some very special verticals such as digital retail and agriculture.
