2.4 GHz 802.15.4 EternaTM Embedded Network Manager
About SmartMesh IP
Dust Networks’ new standards-based SmartMesh® IP product line achieves unsurpassed levels of networking resilience and reliability, with
advanced network management and comprehensive security. Based on Dust’s breakthrough Eterna™ SoC technology, SmartMesh IP
enables up to 8 times lower power consumption than competing solutions even in harsh, dynamically changing RF environments. Cost
effective, IP (Internet Protocol) compatible, and widely applicable, SmartMesh IP serves an extensive range of applications, such as energy
management, building automation, renewable energy, and other implementations in smart infrastructure that call for ultra low power.
Product Descriptions – LTP5901/LTP5902-IPR
Based on the IETF 6LoWPAN and IEEE 802.15.4e Standards, the LTP5901/LTP5902-IPR SmartMesh IP embedded network manager
anchors the SmartMesh IP product line. It serves not only as a wireless-to-wired access point, but more importantly provides the core
networking functionality, enabling the network to achieve unsurpassed levels of resiliency, reliability, and scalability. The
LTP5901/LTP5902-IPR continuously optimizes the network and provides robustness in the face of constantly changing RF environments.
Furthermore, the network manager’s load balancing algorithms add more bandwidth for the busiest motes while maintaining traffic flow
for the rest of the network.
The LTP5901/LTP5902-IPR embedded network manager comes in an easy-to-integrate surface-mount printed circuit board (PCB) module
incorporating the LTC5800-IPR embedded network manager-on-chip. The LTP5901-IPR module includes an on-board chip antenna, while
the LTP5902-IPR module includes an MMCX antenna connector. Both PCB modules will come with modular certifications for FCC, IC,
and CE. As part of the SmartMesh IP system, the LTP5901/LTP5902-IPR enables customers to integrate a standards-based wireless
network into sensors and actuators to provide scalable bidirectional communications.
The manager offers a comprehensive application programming interface (API) via a UART interface, providing full visibility and control
over network configuration, security administration, network status, and performance statistics. With its combination of low power,
compact easy-to-integrate form factor, and sophisticated network management, the LTP5901/LTP5902-IPR embedded network manager is
ideally suited for deploying resilient, reliable mesh networks in a wide variety of environments and applications.
