Explore the highlights
Optical time-of-flight measurement for precise, fast distance and presence sensing — unaffected by colour or ambient light in its working range.
Around 2 km through a built-up site and up to 8 km in the open — figures from our own field range tests, not textbook models.
The 2×2 and 4×4 models run 5+ years at hourly reporting on an 8 Ah Li-SOCl₂ cell, and the 8×8 model takes a 9–36 V DC supply for continuous counting.
Report on a schedule, when a threshold is crossed, or the moment an event happens — the radio speaks only when there is something worth saying.
Commission and configure with Maya, the companion app for every Macnman device.
In plain terms
What Is a Time-of-Flight Sensor?
The short answer
A time-of-flight sensor measures distance by timing how long a pulse of infrared light takes to reach a surface and return. Arranged as a grid of zones, it builds a small depth map of the space below it, which is enough to count people through a doorway or tell whether a zone is occupied, without a camera and without capturing anyone's identity.

MacRay ToF
The MacRay ToF puts that sensor on LoRaWAN®. It offers 2 × 2, 4 × 4 or 8 × 8 zone grids, tolerates ambient light up to 100k lux, and reports on a schedule, when a threshold is crossed or the moment an event happens.
Infrared time-of-flight at 940 nm, eye-safe and invisible, measuring depth only.
A selectable 2 × 2, 4 × 4 or 8 × 8 zone grid, from a single doorway to a full room.
LoRaWAN® v1.0.4, Class A by default and Class C configurable, transmitting at 23 dBm.
Periodic, event-based or hybrid, with occupancy, movement and distance thresholds.
Configured over BLE with the Maya Android app, and reconfigured remotely by downlink.
Used for people counting at doorways, room and zone occupancy, object detection and distance measurement.
