Environment
Monitoring
Data center outages caused by environmental failures cost upwards of $489,000 on average. These failures account for around 33% of unplanned outages, and as high-density applications increase cooling demands, adequate environmental control is now more essential than ever.
Environment Monitoring Matters
Even small environmental fluctuations can threaten data center operations. Temperature and humidity related failures have a snowballing effect on downtime, often leading to prolonged outages that hemorrhage over $8,000 per minute in addition to equipment repairs and replacement costs.
Overheating is one of the biggest threats to data center integrity, especially as facilities opt for higher density layouts. In modern AI data centers that exceed 15 kW/rack, temperature fluctuations happen fast and can cause problems even if the servers are properly cooled. Keen awareness of temperature, humidity, dew point, air velocity, and CO2 in your critical facility is necessary to prevent cascading environmental conditions.
Many facilities overlook the importance of environmental monitoring, but focusing solely on server conditions leaves you with blind spots that endanger your facility’s key infrastructure. Facility-wide visibility is crucial to stem environmental hazards and maintain uptime with confidence.

- 900/868 MHz Wireless
- Battery Powered (12 Years)
- Flexible Range Up To 600ft
- Wi-Fi or Wired Options
The WiNG series is designed for quick, wireless setup even in live environments. Sensors mount without the need for conduit or complex configuration, and the system automatically identifies up to 250 sensors upon power-up.
With a wireless range of up to 600 feet and a battery life of up to 12 years, the WiNG series delivers a low-maintenance solution that easily adapts to changing layouts without rewiring.
WiNG sensors can be installed anywhere and repositioned just as easily, providing real-time flexibility and control. They integrate seamlessly into your environment, while traditional wired systems, such as our FMS, BMS-1WIRE or F200, remain available for facilities with specific requirements.
The WiNG Series ensures continuous environmental readings with a local-first design, up to 30 days of readings are stored onboard automatically, backfilled if connectivity is temporarily lost, ensuring no gaps in your records. Customer-definable logging intervals act as frequent integrity checks, capture a secure record of measurements and trends.
Data is transmitted securely over HTTPS with TLS encryption, and self-calibration protects against sensor drift. This architecture delivers the consistent, verifiable performance engineers need for uptime-critical environments.

For facilities requiring wired or additional digital inputs, the FMS and F200 are available, offering the same local interface and protocol flexibility trusted in secure, high-availability sites.
Custom Parameters & Flexibility
Configure once. Adapt anywhere.
Our environmental monitoring solutions are engineered for mission-critical environments where even minor environmental changes can have significant consequences.
The Parameter monitoring system is designed to adapt by providing facility engineers with complete control over how and when alerts are triggered.
- Set custom thresholds for temperature, humidity, pressure, and other key conditions individually for each sensor or for all sensors simultaneously.
- Adjust trigger points to reflect your compliance standards, operating tolerances, or seasonal shifts.
Whether you’re monitoring a single lab or a distributed enterprise, you can fine-tune alerts to focus on what matters most, reducing false alarms and ensuring a timely response to the specific needs of each room, cabinet, or facility.
