Overview of in-house Sensor offering and Technology

Updated this week

Spaceti Sensor offering

Spaceti offers stand-alone software or an end-to-solution that includes our proprietary wireless sensors. These battery-powered devices were developed in-house specifically for use with Spaceti software.

Spaceti Sensor Overview

1. GLOSSARY

Spaceti Sensors – portfolio of all Spaceti Smart stones (Environmental, Occupancy, …) and other sensors (Spaceti parking sensor, …).

Sensor Data – anonymized data from sensors, such as occupancy, environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, CO2), etc.

Spaceti Services – services provided to end customer (data handling, analytics, real-time data, device management, map editor, …). See other documentation for detailed information.

Spaceti Cloud – a mix of infrastructure, servers, and databases to serve Spaceti Services.

Spaceti Sensor Gateway – a data aggregator used for collecting data from Spaceti Sensors and sending it to Spaceti Cloud via the Internet interface.

Sub-GHz band – communication channel operating in frequencies around 868 MHz or 915 MHz. Used for communication between Spaceti Sensors and Spaceti Sensor Gateway.

Datasheet – technical documentation with detailed information about the sensor/product.

VPN – Virtual Private Network.

Device Management – secure connection between Spaceti Cloud and Spaceti Gateway.

AES - Advanced Encryption Standard.

PN – Part Number – unique identifier of product type.

SN – Serial Number – unique identifier of sensor across all Spaceti Sensors.

2. TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

Spaceti Sensors' portfolio consists of sensors for various use-cases, such as tracking occupancy on individual seats or in a specific meeting room, monitoring environmental parameters, etc.

See specific Part Numbers and it’s use-cases:

where:
​# = color option; @ = communication channel option (Sub-GHz bands or NB-IoT); *** = product revision.

Note: Please see the latest sensors portfolio and its datasheets online.

Note: sensors are available in different colors, Sub-GHz bands (depending on the country of operations), and revisions. Please refer to more during order placement.

Spaceti Sensors are sending Sensor Data to Spaceti Cloud. Sensor Data can be transferred through:

2.1. SUB-GHZ TOPOLOGY

The presence of the Spaceti Gateway is crucial in Sub-GHz topology. It receives data from Spaceti Sensors and sends it through the Internet Interface to Spaceti Cloud. Also, other features are available:

  • Device management - secure channel (through VPN) to manage Spaceti Gateway (device update, logs, etc.).

  • SIM card management (if applicable) - blocking, enabling connection, SIM info, data transfer info.

SPACETI GATEWAY – INTERNET INTERFACES

To enable the function of Spaceti Gateway, the device must be connected to the Internet (to reach Spaceti Cloud). Options available:

  1. Mobile network connection: 2G/3G network, 4G (LTE) network

  2. Ethernet connection (with an option of PoE)

2.2. MOBILE NETWORK CONNECTIVITY

If Spaceti Gateway with a mobile network connection, Internet Interface is used, the following features are available:

  • 2G/3G/4G network support (choose proper product PN during order),

  • Global roaming (check with Spaceti availability in a specific country),

  • SIM cards management - blocking, enabling connection, SIM info, data transfer info,

  • Support of different Telco providers (replaceable miniSIM and configurable APNs) – please contact Spaceti to discuss further.

3. PHYSICAL SECURITY

To enable physical security of Spaceti Sensor or Spaceti Gateway, the following features are available:

  • FW locked (available only for devices without OTA update),

  • Free-fall detection – to understand sensor falling from the wall (available for Location/Standard sensors group).

4. SPACETI SENSORS SECURITY

To provide secure transfer of Sensor Data to Spaceti Cloud, the following security features are implemented in Spaceti Sensors:

  • End-to-end encryption (Spaceti Sensor to Spaceti Cloud) using AES-128,

  • Message counter,

  • Sensor chip unique ID (hardcoded) check,

  • Notification about the inactivity of Spaceti Sensor,

  • Battery monitoring.

5. SPACETI GATEWAY SECURITY

To provide secure transfer of Sensor Data to Spaceti Cloud and provide athe bility to manage Spaceti Gateway remotely, the following security features are implemented:

  • VPN – to provide secure access to Spaceti Gateway and enable remote FW upgrade, log management.

  • Monitoring of Spaceti Gateway connection utilization,

  • Reporting of Spaceti gateway inactivity.

6. SPACETI CLOUD SECURITY

As the final stage of data flow, Sensor Data is processed in Spaceti Cloud. Spaceti Cloud security is the subject of document Spaceti Cloud Security whitepaper.

7. COMPLIANCE

It is important for Spaceti to be sure about customers/partners' data privacy and provide services regarding protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.

  • Spaceti is certified by ISO 27001:2013 (please see attached certificate),

  • Spaceti is attested against SOC 2,

  • See related information online: https://trust.spaceti.com/
