What Our Client Says
Learn from our partners how our Zigbee wireless solutions have solved their connectivity challenges and delivered reliable, long-term value.
“Wiring sensors across our multi-acre greenhouse was impractical. We set up a wireless mesh network with Valtoris converters. It covered the entire area, the sensors have been reporting consistently, and we haven’t had to replace a single battery yet this season.”
Carlos M.
Operations, Greenhouse Complex
“Getting data from our legacy RS485 meters required either a costly shutdown for cabling or unstable WiFi extenders. We used Valtoris Zigbee Converter instead. The installation was straightforward, and the data flow into our SCADA system has been consistently reliable.”

Expert Guides To Industrial wireless Zigbee Connectivity
Identify Your Devices & Communication Needs. Determine if you need to connect RS232, RS485, or RS422 serial devices and assess the data flow (point-to-point or a mesh network). Verify protocol support, such as transparent serial or specific Modbus mapping requirements.
Evaluate the Deployment Environment. For harsh industrial or outdoor settings, select an industrial Zigbee Converter with a metal case, a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and DIN-rail mounting for durability and stability.
Define Your Network Architecture & Scale. Decide between a simple point-to-point link or a scalable, self-healing wireless zigbee mesh. Consider the number of nodes and the need for a central Zigbee to Ethernet Converter (like VT-ZB701) for internet/cloud connectivity.
Consider Total Cost of Ownership. Look beyond unit price. Evaluate installation savings from reduced wiring, long-term battery life for sensors, and the value of OEM/ODM services for custom adaptations that ensure perfect fit and avoid future rework.
Prioritize Reliability & Manufacturer Support. Choose a provider with proven industrial design, clear configuration tools, and responsive technical support for deployment and troubleshooting, ensuring your network runs reliably for the long term.
The effective range and data capability of an Industrial Zigbee Converter depend on the environment, antenna, and network topology. Typically:
Typical Operational Range: In open, line-of-sight conditions, our Zigbee converter can achieve a distance of up to 2 kilometers. In real-world industrial or urban settings with walls, machinery, and other obstacles, the reliable range is typically 100-500 meters per hop. Its strength lies in the mesh network capability, where intermediate nodes can relay data, effectively extending coverage across very large areas.
Data Transmission Rate: Zigbee is designed for low-to-moderate data rate applications. The serial baud rate can be configured up to 115200bps. However, the effective wireless data throughput is lower due to protocol overhead and is ideal for transmitting periodic sensor readings, control commands, or meter data, not for high-bandwidth streams like video.
Choosing the Right Technology: For applications requiring very long-range (several km) with very low data rates (e.g., sending a few bytes per hour), our LoRa DTU solutions may be more suitable. The Zigbee converter is optimal for creating robust, low-power wireless mesh networks with higher data capacity and lower latency within a large facility or campus.

Looking for a reliable way to create robust, long-range wireless mesh networks for your sensors and control devices? Our specialists are ready to help you select the right Industrial Zigbee Converter for your specific application. Contact us for a custom consultation or a detailed quote tailored to your project’s connectivity needs.
Q: Can the Zigbee signal penetrate concrete factory walls or metal control cabinets?
A: 2.4GHz signal will penetrate normal indoor environments but dense industrial materials such as reinforced concrete or heavy steel machinery will greatly attenuate the signal. Devices mounted inside sealed metal control cabinets (Faraday cages) shall not use internal antennas. Our converters feature an external SMA antenna connector. You can also use a magnetic extension cable to mount the antenna on the outside of the cabinet for a clear line of sight and a strong mesh connection.
Q: My legacy SCADA software only reads data from local COM ports (COM1/COM2). How can it receive wireless Zigbee data over an Ethernet LAN?
A: We have solved this compatibility problem with our included Vircom Virtual Serial software. The Vircom tool creates a virtual COM port on your PC that connects directly to the VT-ZIGBEE701 gateway via your Ethernet network. Your legacy software just opens this virtual COM port as if the serial devices are hardwired directly to the computer’s motherboard, no changes to your existing software code is needed.
Q: Does this industrial Zigbee gateway require an internet connection or a cloud subscription to function?
A: No, it requires absolutely zero internet access. The Valtoris Zigbee network is fundamentally a Local Area Network (LAN) technology. It operates as a completely independent, air-gapped wireless mesh network, communicating directly with the local Zigbee Converter for on-premise data logging and automation. This ensures your mission-critical OT data remains secure behind your facility’s firewall.
Q: Can this device translate between Modbus RTU sensors and a Modbus TCP SCADA system?
A: Yes. While the VT-ZIGBEE700 acts as a transparent wireless serial link, the [👉 VT-ZIGBEE701 Industrial Zigbee Gateway ] features a built-in Transfer Protocol engine. Through the configuration software, you can set the protocol to “Modbus TCP<->RTU”. The gateway will then actively translate Modbus TCP requests from your Ethernet network into standard Modbus RTU frames for your wireless serial nodes, and translate the responses back seamlessly
