Transducers Direct launches cellular gateway for remote sensor monitoring

Transducers Direct has released its CirrusSense Cellular Gateway, a FCC-approved device that lets users monitor up to 14 wireless sensors and 2 hardwired sensors through one cellular connection. The launch expands remote monitoring for industrial and commercial sites that need broader coverage without complex networking.

Why it matters: - The CirrusSense Cellular Gateway expands remote monitoring to sites that do not have practical network infrastructure. - The TDWLB-CG can support monitoring across a facility or across multiple locations from a single cellular connection. - The gateway is aimed at industrial and commercial users that need faster access to pressure and temperature data, alarms and historical readings.

What happened: - Transducers Direct announced immediate availability of the CirrusSense Cellular Gateway, model TDWLB-CG. - The launch adds a cloud-connected option to the company’s CirrusSense wireless remote monitoring line. - The FCC-approved gateway is designed to connect to the CirrusSense Cloud through a cellular network. - The product is available now for $695, with sensors and subscription plans sold separately.

The details: - The TDWLB-CG supports up to 14 CirrusSense wireless pressure and temperature transducers. - The gateway also connects up to 2 wired 4-20 mA current-output sensors. - The system transmits measurement data to the cloud at subscription-determined intervals. - Users can view data through the CirrusSense web portal and the free mobile app. - The platform supports password protection, multi-user access, custom email alarms and text message alerts. - Users can assign names to individual sensors and share access with team members. - The gateway provides up to 500 feet of additional line-of-sight range compared with the average mobile device. - The enclosure is a rugged NEMA 4 design with a built-in antenna for outdoor installation. - Installation is plug-and-play and does not require complicated wiring or networking. - The gateway is in stock, ready to ship, and backed by free technical support from Transducers Direct’s engineering team. - Existing Transducers Direct wireless pressure and temperature solutions are compatible with the TDWLB-CG. - The company’s announcement includes a link for more information.

Between the lines: - The launch positions cellular connectivity as a simpler alternative to traditional monitoring systems that often depend on more complex network setups. - The product fits a wide set of use cases, including refrigeration, water infrastructure, hydraulic equipment, storage tanks and industrial processes. - Transducers Direct is pitching the gateway as a way to reduce site visits while keeping multiple assets under continuous watch. - The company is also signaling that the product is part of a broader wireless sensing strategy rather than a standalone device.

What's next: - Customers can begin building remote monitoring packages around the gateway now that it is available immediately. - Users who already have Transducers Direct wireless sensors can add the gateway to extend reporting distance and monitoring capability. - The company expects the system to be used across OEM equipment, HVAC/R, smart buildings, agriculture, wastewater, supply-chain management, predictive maintenance and utility infrastructure.

The bottom line: - Transducers Direct is betting that one cellular gateway, paired with cloud monitoring, can make remote sensor management easier for industrial users that need wider coverage and quicker alerts.
