What is the difference between facility sensors and RLE Wi-Fi sensors?

What is the difference between facility sensors and RLE Wi-Fi sensors? 

  • Facility sensors offer environmental information (temperature and humidity) for your IBX data center, while RLE Wi-Fi sensors can also be installed inside the cage and near the cabinet to gather more granular information on the environmental parameters. The Ops team is responsible for changing the sensor batteries on the ground for a degrading battery, or malfunction in communication.
