Their solution stands out for being based on a proprietary mesh network, called NeoMesh, integrated into all its modules, which allows for the simple and efficient implementation of a low-power mesh network with a high number of nodes.
Key features of the NeoMesh stack:
• Time synchronized
• Automatically forms, maintains, and optimizes
• Supports up to 65k nodes
• Enables real-time data routing
• Low average power consumption and deterministic
• Supports nodes that move within the network's radio range
• Supports multiple logical networks within the radio range
• High noise immunity even with many nodes
• High security (ACK/NACK, AES128, 2xCRC16)
The NeoCortec module portfolio comprises three references, all pin-compatible and firmware-compatible.
A NeoGateway reference design is available for connecting the NeoMesh stack modules to IP networks.
The NeoGateway utilizes the popular Raspberry Pi embedded board.
A development kit is available for quick and easy testing of the NeoMesh network. The kit includes five development boards with NeoCortec modules, computer software, cables, and antennas.
The main applications for these modules are:
• RF mesh sensor networks
• AMR – Automatic reading of measuring sensors
• Home automation applications
• Farm or home monitoring applications
• Mesh networks with movable nodes
• Logistics applications
