At your site
Gateway-only is right when the buyer already controls sensors and wiring. A complete kit is better when the buyer needs a repeatable package for pilots or channel sales.
Decision table
Scope
- Gateway only
- Connectivity and protocol conversion
- Complete monitoring kit
- Sensors, gateway, power and accessories
- Guidance
- Quote scope must match who owns field engineering.
Risk
- Gateway only
- Buyer handles sensor fit and wiring
- Complete monitoring kit
- Bundle reduces compatibility gaps
- Guidance
- Kits help when the buyer wants one accountable package.
Channel use
- Gateway only
- Good for integrators with their own BOM
- Complete monitoring kit
- Good for distributors and pilot projects
- Guidance
- Sales channel determines project handoff scope.

Choose Gateway only when
- The integrator already selected sensors
- Only protocol conversion is missing
- The project has strong field engineering resources
Choose Complete monitoring kit when
- The buyer wants one evaluation package
- Sensors, enclosure and power are still undecided
- The distributor needs a repeatable equipment configuration for customer projects
Information needed for quotation
- Existing sensor list
- Required measured parameters
- Power and enclosure needs
- Pilot quantity and future rollout plan

FAQ
How do I choose between the two options?
Gateway only fits these conditions: The integrator already selected sensors. Complete monitoring kit fits these conditions: The buyer wants one evaluation package. SunGene can shortlist hardware after reviewing the site and integration details.
Can SunGene quote both options?
Yes. Send the site layout, measurements, available network and quantity. We can compare equipment and accessories for both options.
Does this comparison include pricing or guaranteed certification?
No. Pricing and certification depend on the selected hardware configuration and target country, so they are confirmed during quotation.
Can we test an option before a wider rollout?
Ask for a sample or pilot configuration. Agree the interfaces, power, mounting and receiving system, then compare local readings with the received data. Confirm model-specific documents and any required approvals before ordering.
