Brick Wirepas

Brick Wirepas is high-end long-life industrial rugged outdoor anchor tag, that can be also used as mobile tag, based on nRF52832 chipset with full support of Wirepas Mesh 2.4GHz network protocol. It is ideal as anchor due to its extremely long battery operating life.

Brick Wirepas is perfectly suitable for all installations where protection from environmental factors and long operating life are critical parameters. Typical scenarios are logistics, outdoor installations, industrial plants, automotive.

Brick Wirepas has a rugged IP67/NEMA6 enclosure, includes an accelerometer and is powered by a replaceable lithium thionyl chloride battery pack ER14505 1S2P with more than 5Ah capacity and extended operating temperature range.
