NeoCortec enables customers to license NeoMesh wireless mesh networking protocol and software stack
NeoCortec, manufacturer of ultra-low-power bi-directional wireless mesh network modules, is now offering customers the ability to license their NeoMesh wireless mesh networking protocol and software stack. Comments Thomas Steen Halkier, CEO of NeoCortec: “Our primary focus remains the manufacturing and sale of our ultra-low power NeoMesh wireless sensor modules. However, by introducing a licensing model for our NeoMesh software stack, customers can implement our software in their designs to gain the advantages of NeoMesh in their specific applications. Furthermore, we will provide comprehensive technical support to assist with the implementation of our software.”
The NeoCortec NeoMesh wireless mesh networking protocol and software stack supports many different sensor types and applications as well as a broad range of chipsets, including those from Texas Instruments, Nordic Semicondustor, Silicon Labs, STMicroelectronics and most recently, Semtech. It is optimized for ultra-low power operation, focusing on networks with many nodes. In the software protocol, data packets can be aggregated which cuts power consumption per packet transported, or enables more packets to be delivered using the same overall power budget. A NeoMesh network doesn’t require any mains powered routers or repeaters and runs on small AA batteries for many years. Additionally, the software includes commands that provide a clear and simple overview of mesh network parameters and battery status, thereby enhancing network monitoring capabilities. It is particularly well-suited for wireless sensor and actuator network installations where devices need to send and receive small packets of data infrequently but with a high degree of reliability.
In contrast to many other mesh network technologies, NeoMesh is dynamic and scalable, supporting thousands of nodes with minimal limitations on network size or depth. It also features a ‘self-healing’ capability, allowing the system to automatically reroute signals in the event of a node failure.
