Overview
AirSuite™ Sense sensors are intelligent devices that we originally designed to monitor the conditions in classrooms and early-childhood education (ECE) centres, following a successful trial programme with the New Zealand Ministry of Education. Since then, we’ve added more features to make them perfect for deploying in a number of other situations too, including in residential, aged care, and commercial environments.
Each device is packed with a powerful array of sensors that monitor all important environmental factors including thermal comfort, ventilation, lighting, and acoustics. AirSuite™ Sense sensors have a wireless connection to the Internet and provide a live feed of sensor data securely into the AirSuite Cloud.
For most customers, we recommend AirSuite™ Sense LTE, which provides the most flexibility around how and where you can deploy your sensors, and eliminates the hassle and security challenges of managing your own Wi-Fi networks.
Powered by the Spark IoT network and with up to 3 years battery life, AirSuite™ Sense LTE devices are particularly suitable even if you don’t have full control of the power or network connectivity at the property where they will be installed. Alternatively, they can be mains-powered from a standard USB power supply or from a permanent (in-wall) installation kit.
AirSuite™ Sense Wi-Fi is also available for customers requiring extremely high resolution data, such as for scientific modelling and reporting.

AirSuite™ + Data Nerds = ❤️
All AirSuite™ sensors are built to capture data at the highest possible resolution, ideal for scientific analysis, without sacrificing quality or battery life. The data can also be exported in summarised forms, so you can choose the most appropriate resolution for your analysis.
Measurement frequency
The interval between when each sensor measurement is taken. These measurements are available in real-time in the AirSuite Monitor App.
- LTE: Once per minute
- Wi-Fi: Once per 10 seconds
Reporting frequency
The frequency at which devices send measurements to the Cloud (time between new data appearing in the AirSuite Monitor Portal).
- LTE: Once per 15 minutes (configurable batch reporting)
- Battery life optimised with intelligent dynamic reporting
- Wi-Fi: Same as measurement frequency (immediate reporting)
Maximum Security
All AirSuite™ devices are designed to enterprise security standards, capable of receiving over-the-air (OTA) updates, and guaranteed to receive routine security and maintenance patches for at least 5 years. This allows us to remotely manage your devices even after they’ve been deployed throughout the country, and is made possible through our use of Spark’s brand new, high-bandwidth LTE Cat-M1 network for IoT devices.
- Automatic OTA feature enhancements for 3+ years
- Automatic OTA security updates guaranteed for 5+ years
- All LTE traffic is secured through a Spark Private APN
AirSuite regularly undertakes security audits of our platform through an independent third party. Our most recent audit was completed by CyberCX in March, 2023.

Customer stories
Shaping the Ministry of Education’s building management strategy
We’ve been working with the New Zealand Ministry of Education since 2017 to help them better understand the quality of the learning environments in Aotearoa and the impacts of environmental conditions.
AirSuite™ data from thousands of sensors, reporting tools and insights are helping to reshape the way investment decisions are made and how building assets are managed. The Ministry of Education’s wealth of data and understanding are now driving the creation of environments that better support learning and wellbeing across the country.
