The Communication hub provides data and power to the sensors, it requires a connection to a mains power outlet, and gets its data connection from the inbuilt 4G Router.
The Hub can connect up to 18 sensors. This consists of 4 Sensor Links, each using one of the four ports in the hub. From the Hub, sensors receive power and data via Cat5 ethernet. In applications where there are more than 18 sensors, additional secondary hubs are required.

XY Sense Cloud: Connection via customer-provided infrastructure or cellular connectivity |
 |
Mains Power Connection: Only required at point of Hub(s) |
 |
Passthrough Power-Over-Ethernet: Can power up to 6 sensors via a single cable up to 150m in length |
Types of Hubs:
1. Primary Hub
Provides power to the sensors and acts as a gateway for the communication of data from the sensors, via a wireless data router (with antennas). This can also be connected to a Secondary Hub(s), to provide a gateway for data for sensors connected to that Secondary Hub. There is typically one Primary Hub per floor.
2. Secondary Hub
Although separately powered, it requires a Cat5 connection to a Primary Hub, to enable the use of the Primary Hub’s data gateway (via the router) for communications from its sensors. There can be up to four Secondary Hubs connected to a Primary Hub.
