The Wirepas Pino shelf protocol is simply smarter: the network itself takes on tasks that are far more complex, if not impossible, to optimize centrally by a single coordinator. With Pino, all network nodes can operate independently and more efficiently. External or central control simply cannot compete with that.
Pino's design adheres to high-level guidelines, such as maintaining complete cluster autonomy, distributing local decision-making across the network, and ensuring local synchronous operation. The wireless medium is used efficiently in both time and frequency domains. These features result in exceptional scalability, robustness, and energy efficiency.
Pino is a true zero-configuration network – installation, expansion, and maintenance are simple. Just plug in the nodes and ports, and everything works, reliably adapting to environmental conditions. Due to its limited scalability, densely populated networks and networks covering large geographical areas are achievable. All network nodes, regardless of their role, achieve years of battery life, including the routers.
Pino's clustering protocol is completely hardware-independent, eliminating pigeonholing for a wide range of applications. Pino can be used on any open market 2.4 GHz and sub-GHz chipsets. This enables energy-efficient indoor networks, as well as city-level networks using long-range outdoor radios. Pino ensures that the underlying hardware is always used as efficiently as possible.
A support toolkit is included, featuring a web tool for real-time network control.
