Linear Technology's SmartMesh network consists of a self-forming multi-hop mesh of nodes, known as motes, which collect and relay data, and a network manager that monitors and manages network performance and security and exchanges data with a host application.
SmartMesh motes and managers are complete wireless sensor network solutions, enabling OEMs to focus on application solutions and not wireless R&D. They combine a time-synchronized, channel-hopping link layer with hardware based on Dust Networks' Eterna® system-on-chip technology for a complete wireless networking solution with greater than 99.999% data reliability in the most challenging RF environments, greater than 10-year battery life for every node in the network, including routing nodes, and complete wireless mesh solution so no network stack development is required.
The SmartMesh IP solution is widely applicable and enables low power consumption even in harsh, dynamically changing RF environments.
