Review Session Learning Objectives1. Learn why WireFree has gone from “taboo” to “the go-to”
technology for facility monitoring and why some companies still prefer wired solutions.
2. Discuss which types of facilities should consider a environmental monitoring solution and whether WireFree is the right route for you.
3. Learn how to evaluate your facility for environmental threats.4. Examine the variables to consider when evaluating solution
options to determine which is best for you
6 www.rletech.com Protecting facilities, people, and reputations
OverviewToday, we will discuss:
1.The importance of environmental monitoring
2.The advantages & disadvantages to wired vs. WireFree technologies
3.How to determine which type of monitoring solution is best for your facility
Have an idea during the presentation? Live-tweet us your thoughts @RLETechnologies and we’ll continue the conversation.We also set aside time for your questions at the end/Please jump in with your questions as they arise

Why Environmental Monitoring?
Environmental Monitoring Defined:
Environmental monitoring consists of a variety of solutions developed to combat threats to a mission critical facility’s environment and assure continuous business function
8 www.rletech.com Protecting facilities, people, and reputations
Why Environmental Monitoring?These threats may include: Fluid leaks Chemical Leaks Overheating Power Surges Air Quality (pressure,
composition, etc.) Excessive humidity Vermin Disconnected Equipment False alarms from faulty equipment

Causes of Downtime
10 www.rletech.com Protecting facilities, people, and reputations
“Little” Problems Can Cost You BIG
Example: 2013 Cost of Data Center Outages Average cost of outage: $7,900 per minute, up by
41% from 2010 Average reported incident length: 86 minutes = an
average cost per incident of nearly $680,000 Total data center outage statistics:
• Average recovery time of 119 minutes • Cost of about $900,000

And It Gets Worse
Certain industries are even higher• Hospitality sector (129% increase)• Public sector (116%)• Transportation (108%) • Media organizations (104%)• Financial (no data but OH BOY)
Impact on reputation/loyalty and the loss of data

Energy Savings with Monitoring
After WireFree sensor technology was deployed at a demonstration facility Cooling load reduced by 48% Total power usage by 17% Annual savings of 657 megawatt-hours (MWh) Carbon footprint was reduced by 542 metric tons
annually

First, A Message From Our Sponsor…• Much of this presentation will focus on WireFree
technology• RLE is not here to tell you what is better, wired or
wirefree• Just want to help you understand the options and
situations
16 www.rletech.com Protecting facilities, people, and reputations
Wired Monitoring Technology
Traditional Advantages
Solid Security Reliability Cost-effective Equipment Increased Control Fast No Batteries required
17 www.rletech.com Protecting facilities, people, and reputations
Wired Monitoring TechnologyTraditional Disadvantages
Lack of Mobility Difficulties with Scalability Cable Damage Installation and
Maintenance Cost
18 www.rletech.com Protecting facilities, people, and reputations
Wire-Free Monitoring Technology
Traditional Advantages
Easier to Physically Deploy Easily Scalable No Cables to Manage or Repair
19 www.rletech.com Protecting facilities, people, and reputations
Wireless Monitoring Technology
Traditional Complaints:
Short battery life Signal conflict Slower speeds compared to
wired monitoring Security Vulnerability Complex to configure Limited Signal Range Due To interference
20 www.rletech.com Protecting facilities, people, and reputations
What You May Not Know: Now cost effective Multiple wire-free signal options Auto Discovery and Configuration Improved battery life Energy harvesting Extended Range Capability Reliability through fault detection Enhanced security
Wire-Free Monitoring Technology
21 www.rletech.com Protecting facilities, people, and reputations
Battery Life UP, Cost DownCosts are dropping and energy densities are improving, increasing overall battery life.
22 www.rletech.com Protecting facilities, people, and reputations
Energy Harvesting
Sources may be: Radio Frequency (RF) Solar & light Kinetic Thermal gradients
Images via AutomatedBuildings.com
“Energy harvesting is the process by which energy is derived from external sources, captured, and stored for small, WireFree autonomous devices, like those used in wearable electronics and WireFree sensor networks.”Defined by WikiPedia
23 www.rletech.com Protecting facilities, people, and reputations
Several Wire-Free Signal Options
24 www.rletech.com Protecting facilities, people, and reputations
Signal Interference Can Be Overcome
Signal interference is the conflict that occurs when multiple sensors fire at the same time
and on the same frequency.

Auto Discovery and Configuration
IP Addresses, sensor discovery, firmware updates, sensor mapping, etc. all used to be
difficult and Time Consuming, BUT… Automated setup is emerging fast Much of the configuration either is, or will soon
be automated Firmware updates can
now be automated Work with top vendors
to assure top quality

Cables and wires limit the placement of sensors
WireFree sensors can be placed wherever is convenient
maximizing effectiveness
Removes the clutter of wires

Advanced Encryption Service (AES) is the preferred encryption algorithm for Wi-Fi networks
NIST chose AES as the encryption standard for all U.S. government agencies for this reason
AES has become a best practice for WireFree security It takes 1018 years to crack a 128-bit AES cipher.

So Which is Better?
As With So Many Things, The Answer is:
It Depends
VS.
31 www.rletech.com Protecting facilities, people, and reputations
Determine What Your Monitoring Needs Are What type of facility are you protecting? How sensitive is it to various threats:
• Temperature• Humidity• Fluid Leaks
What would the cost be if an issue was to arise?
What are the most likely scenarios? Can the existing facility easily accommodate wire-
free monitoring? Are aesthetics important in this space?
32 www.rletech.com Protecting facilities, people, and reputations
Research The Technology Facility frequency restrictions based on the type of
equipment you’re using? Country operating restrictions on frequency? Spot detectors or sensing cable? Setup and deployment costs?
These are all questions that your vendor should be able to help you with.
33 www.rletech.com Protecting facilities, people, and reputations
Research The VendorsThe right vendor will offer a wide variety of products
and services to accommodate all of your needs
• What technologies are their products based on? • How long have they been in business? • Do they offer all the products
you need? • Are they willing to help you
plan out the system? • Do they offer start-up and
commissioning?
