TWR-METRO-KIT-EU

P1-P2
Overview
The TWR-METRO-KIT metropolitan area
network (MAN) development kit enables you
to quickly build a 6LoWPAN-compliant smart
object network out of the box and integrate
it with your own hardware for network
performance evaluation in a real environment
for Internet of Things or machine-to-machine
application solutions. MANs are ideal for
demanding applications such as “last mile”
smart metering communication and street
lighting control. A MAN is typically defined
by extreme reliability over several miles while
serving thousands of nodes per edge router or
data concentrator with each node capable of
meshing at dozens of hop levels deep.
The kit contains two wireless IP addressable
end nodes that are line or battery powered, as
well as a wireless edge router which connects
to a PC or notebook, forming a solid basis to
begin network evaluation and development.
The kit can be easily expanded to support up
to 10 end nodes. Each end node is built with a
Nivis Smart Object radio module containing a
Freescale Kinetis K series MCU based on the
ARM
®
Cortex
®
-M4 core and an MC12311 sub-
GHz smart radio transceiver with up to +15
dBm of native transmit power for miles of range
without the need for RF power amplification.
At the core of the edge router is a QorIQ
P1025 power-based MPU running Nivis edge
router software.
The MAN development kit is based entirely
on IEEE and open Internet communication
standards. The application, transport and
networking layers of the smart object stack
are based on the latest Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF) standards which include
CoAP, UDP, IPv6/6LoWPAN, RPL and ICMP.
The application layer payloads adhere to EXI/
XML encoding. The radio uses the new IEEE
®
802.15.4e time synchronized channel hopping
(TSCH) MAC and IEEE 802.15.4g
PHY specifications.
