SmartMesh IP's software development suite accelerates the development of wireless sensor industrial iot applications

     Linear Technology Corporation's SmartMesh IP™ wireless sensor networking products now directly provide programming for the Industrial Internet of Things on embedded ARM Cortex-M3 running Micrium's μC/OS-II real-time operating system (IoT) application capabilities. Users no longer need a separate processor for sensor interface and edge data analysis, reducing the cost, footprint and power consumption of integrated wireless sensor nodes. Accelerate application development time with a reference code and source code sample library. The SmartMesh IP mesh networking product is based on 6LowPAN, which includes a device capable of delivering &gt at ultra-low power. Precompiled network stack with 99.999% network reliability. This is especially important for industrial iot applications, where wireless sensor networks (WSN) may be deployed in very harsh and remote environments.

     The on-chip Software Development Kit (SDK) that comes with the LTC5800-IPM (System on chip) and LTP5901/2-IPM (PCB module) is designed to ensure that developers can stably run the pre-compiled SmartMesh IP networking stack and its applications simultaneously. To support the growing community of developers using the platform, the DustCloud Developer Community www.dustcloud.org provides an interactive forum for developers who rely on SmartMesh IP to build applications. It contains the source code for the SDK, the software reference design and detailed documentation, and a developer discussion area.

     Dust Networks' Product division develops the industry's lowest-power, most reliable and standards-based wireless sensor network products. Dust Networks products are field-proven and have more than 45,000 customer networks deployed in 120 countries. In frequently used applications, the average power consumption of the SmartMesh IP and SmartMesh WirelessHART products is less than 50μA, allowing for more than 10 years of battery life, enabling wireless sensor nodes to be placed anywhere. Because all SmartMesh products include pre-compiled Network stack and dynamic grid network optimization software, developers can focus on enabling rapid industrial IoT application development and can rely on the grid networking expertise Dust Network has built up over the years in each product.
