Aranet is a smart wireless monitoring IoT solution that collects, records, reports, and analyzes data from distributed sensor networks. Basic Aranet implementation consists of:

1) at least one Pro base station that gathers data and

2) sensors that connect to a base station and make a local wireless data network.

Data from the Aranet sensors can be accessed and viewed by

1) connecting locally to a Pro base station IP address with the latest version of Chrome, Safari, or Edge WEB browser.

2) in the Aranet Cloud platform when the Pro base station is connected to the Internet. Aranet Cloud is accessible from any place on the globe where an Internet connection is available.

Aranet Cloud is an industrial-grade solution for the Aranet IoT ecosystems’ remote management. Aranet Cloud can connect to an unlimited number of Aranet Pro/Pro+ Bases and store measurements from all sensors in one environment.

The Aranet Cloud platform provides a WEB interface where any person can register a new user account, then, using specified authentication details (e-mail and password), the user can log in and access their account on the platform. Registered users can further connect/register an unlimited number of Aranet Pro/Pro+ base stations, whose sensor data will then be accessible on the Aranet Cloud platform.

Aranet Cloud receives data from Pro/Pro+ base stations using the HTTPS protocol on TCP port 443. The data transmission is designed so that the system configuration is as simple as possible without the need for any specific network configuration. Just connect the Aranet Pro/Pro+ base station to the internet and start using Aranet Cloud.

The Aranet Cloud platform allows the viewing of live and historical sensor measurement data from all the sensors that are paired to Cloud-registered Pro/Pro+ base stations. Additionally, in the Aranet Cloud platform, any user can also:

1) Share sensor data with other users of the Aranet Cloud platform by sending an invitation.

2) Send sensor data in SenML+JSON file format via a push-type integration API to any 3^rd party system endpoint (server, computer, another Cloud platform, etc.) capable of receiving such files.

3) Access sensor measurements via pull-type API.

4) Export measurement data to .csv, .xlsx, or .pdf file.

5) Share CO2 sensor data as an HTML page link.

Note that data from sensors cannot be directly sent to Aranet Cloud. Sensors can only be paired with Aranet Pro/Pro+ base stations, which gather sensor data and communicate with Aranet Cloud (with an Internet connection and the proper Cloud registration).

Aranet Cloud server infrastructure is hosted in a secure data center managed by SAF Tehnika. This infrastructure is built to avoid any single point of failure and is supported with full redundancy by having two independent internet connections, two firewall units, two network core switches, etc.

Note that Aranet4 HOME and Aranet MINI base station products are not compatible and cannot be used with the Aranet Cloud platform.
