Data Centers are large and complex, with environmental conditions that vary not just from area to area but also from rack to rack. Environmental conditions must be monitored and controlled to ensure availability and to avoid SLA violations. Fluid leaks must be detected immediately to prevent damage to critical assets and infrastructure. Air flow and pressure must be maintained to ensure proper HVAC and CRAC performance. Temperatures must be controlled to prevent equipment from overheating, but overcooling protects equipment … at enormous energy costs that no business can afford.
RF Code's easy-to-deploy data center monitoring solution delivers the most accurate and real-time environmental data down to the row and rack level available today. Our wire-free sensors provide highly accurate temperature, humidity, air pressure, and leak detection data in real-time.
Wireless sensors are preferred by Colo providers because they are easy to place in customer cages without the need to run wires.
The combination of powerful readers that can monitor over 1,000 sensors per second and easy to install wireless sensors can respond to growing demand in real time.
RF Code’s sensors are priced competitively to help Colocation providers maintain costs and protect profits.
Used and trusted by established and emerging Colocation data center providers to monitor temperature and humidity to maintain compliance with SLA commitments.
With over 2 million sensors purchased, customers rely on RF Code’s sensors for their accuracy and reliability.
Highly convenient single point of integration supports many systems and protocols at once. Supported protocols include SNMP, Modbus, BACnet and Rest API.
The most convenient software based integration to access data and events with your DCIM, BMS, cooling optimization, bespoke data center analytics solutions and more. Unlike other solutions, with RF Code you can support integrating with multiple systems using different protocols simultaneously. And you aren’t locked into a hardware-based protocol you need choose upfront.
Many integration protocols supported, including SNMP, Modbus, Bacnet, REST API.

All RF Code environmental sensors are wireless and are supported by a single type of RFID reader, so you can easily expand the sensors in your Colocation data centers and for your customers.
Explore wireless RF sensors →Temperature and Humidity | For monitoring temperature and humidity. Typically used for front and back of rack temperature, but can be used for more. |
Tethered Temperature Sensor | For monitoring temperature. This tag has a remote temperature sensor that can be placed closer to the temperature source. |
Fluid Detection Sensor | For detecting fluid leaks and providing early warning. |
Door Sensor | For monitoring access to a room, rack, hard drive disposal containers and more. |
Dry Contact Sensor | Sensor that monitors dry contact or closed-loop monitoring circuit. |
Differential Air Pressure Sensor | For monitoring for airflow problems that can prevent optimal data center cooling efficiency. |
Rack PDU Power Sensor | Sensor for securely monitoring smart Rack PDUs without need to connect the Rack PDU to the network. |
AC Voltage Sensor | Sensor that detects presence of AC voltage in a power cable. |
Active RFID Asset Tag | Tracks the real time location of data center assets. Assets can be tracked to rack, room or zone that they are located in. |
Yes. In fact, wireless RF sensors are the better choice for Colocation data center because they are easier to install. And because there are no wires or power cables, they are the least intrusive option for customer cages and space. RF Code wireless environmental sensors have been proven by our customers and are used in some the largest and most demanding data center environments in the United States and around the world.
Yes. The data from our environmental monitoring sensors is available in a number of convenient ways, including through the CenterScape software and/or by integration using Modbus, BACnet, SNMP traps, REST API.
Yes. They feature one-way communication, cannot control or change anything, can’t connect to network/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, and can only be seen by secure readers. There is no cloud access, and all data is stored by you in your data center.
