Connectivity technologies

Cellular

The BZ Gateway uses Verizon LTE. The B Gateway uses LTE and 3G. Both are there so a site does not have to join the building network.

Ethernet

The ZE Gateway uses an Ethernet connection and supports up to 24 Z Sensors. The Sensor Hub can also use Ethernet and Power over Ethernet.

ZE Gateway · Sensor Hub

Bluetooth and Zigbee

The B Gateway speaks Bluetooth Low Energy to sensors on a vehicle. The BZ Gateway connects Z Sensors and B or B2 Sensors, which is how a fixed site mixes Zigbee and Bluetooth devices on one hub.
