Product features:

• Enable plug-and-play sensor and device connectivity
• Enable many-to-one connectivity (i.e., data from many sensors and actuators to one SensorPort)
• Add intelligence to sensor network and control systems through distributed processing
• Provide real-time monitoring, event detection, and notification capabilities for sensor and control systems
• Convert non-IP data into IP data, as well as convert IPv4 to IPv6
• Distribute data as network data files (e.g., text, Excel, XML, binary, etc.) and populate common database tables (Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Access, MySQL, etc.)
• Control switches, relays, and other actuators

From the press release:

SensorPort helps enterprises to overcome the challenge of stranded sensor data by extending the enterprise network to the level of sensors and sensor networks.

"Often, sensors and devices are removed from each other and from the IT infrastructure. Enterprises have been unable to extend their IT infrastructure or the IP network to the level of sensors, actuators, sensor networks and other devices. This has essentially stranded many assets deployed for security, monitoring, automation and asset tracking, among others," said Patrick Esposito, president and chief operating officer of Augusta Systems®.
